Hi Adam,

pg.2

Yes, lies do originate from satan and wants people to be deceived, as you say. He does wrap lies up in clever fallacies and false assumptions. What better way to deceive than to cleverly wrap opposites in which one must be false and the other true and attribute it to a single source, specifically God. Are you going to deny God is Love? Of course not. Surely the statement must be true and come from God. Are you willing to push the OPPOSITE of truth which is fear and hate which are synonymous, onto God? It appears so. Yet, you yourself said that to do so is satan's signature!

If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if God OPPOSES Himself and is divided , He cannot stand. His end has has come. Impossible. A divided mind cannot communicate. Satan is divided. God is One; If one is real, the other must be false. God is Spirit. Flesh is of an opposing false source; there is no compromise between the two OPPOSITES, one being real, the other false. Imperfection is from satan. God creates only holiness; for what is real always denies its OPPOSITE, making the opposite non-existent. God is consistent. Satan non- consistent; The truth of what is from God always makes the falsity of its opposite perfectly clear. Need I go on?

Love is incapable of any exceptions. Only if there is fear does the idea of exceptions seem to be meaningful. Exceptions are fearful because they are made by fear. Not God. Not Love.

Yes, to believe opposites can coexist does sound exactly what Satan would say.

And no, I don't need God' grace. I already have it, just as you do.

By grace I live.

By grace I am released.

By grace I give.

By grace I will release.

Grace is God's Answer to all despair, for in it lies the remembrance of His Love. Would He not give the means by which His Will is recognized?

Peace,

GOD IS

Hi Adam,

pg. 1

Let's return to your post in which I originally responded to. Your question in the first paragraph: "Is it likely that God wants you to defy him and do the opposite of what He says, or is it more likely that satan wants that? This sounds exactly like what satan would say." I agree.

By your question and following statement, I'm confident that what you believe God says or wants is true, and is the opposite of what "satan" says or wants, which of course would be false. I agree. And based on this, the following is also true: truth cannot have an opposite, for if what is true is not true as well as what is true, then part of truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but the truth is true and what is false is false. Also, some synonyms for "false": unreal, lies, untrue, illusion, fake, phony, non-existent, drama, fantasy, dreams, etc. - definitely not from God.

Your second paragraph; last sentence: "Satan's signature is usually on pushing opposites of the truth, starting from the garden of eden." Once again, I agree.

So, let us start with the Garden of Eden myth where someone made a tree to grow out of the ground smack dab in the middle of the garden called the tree of knowledge of good AND evil. OPPOSITES. Again, based on what you said, good must come from God or either its opposite, satan. And evil must also come from one, or its opposite. Personally, I'm confident both of us are certain knowledge of "good" comes from God Who is Truth and thus good's opposite, knowledge of "evil" must come from God's opposition satan who is false (unreal). One could reasonably say that the tee of knowledge of good and evil should be called the tree of death, according to the tragedy resulting from it. Additionally, a tree grew from the ground in the garden's midst called the tree of life. Two opposite trees coming from the same source? One resulting in life, the other death? According to what you wrote, this is not possible.

Robert, Welcome. Glad you found us.

Yes, you can ask questions anytime you wish. We all try to help as we feel led and we hope that those asking questions will get an edifying and informative response based on biblical truth.

Well said, Ruby

Hello S. Spencer,

Thanks for asking about Brian and his wife Elfe.

I heard from him a few days ago when they arrived in Mecca. The had visited the Great Mosque. he sent a picture of he and Elfe.

Please continue to pray for them. Her mom is with them, too. Please pray that the Spirit of God will cause a revulsion within them for the things of Islam, revealing to them that this is a false religion that has deceived millions. Pray that, seeing these things of Islam, the Holy Spirit will remind Brian of the truths of Scripture that he was brought up on and change his heart to embrace the Lord and reject Islam. Pray that Elfe's heart will be changed and opened to receive what the Holy Spirit wishes to bring to her-regeneration and faith in Jesus. Pray that her parents will be moved by the Holy Spirit to turn from Islam to Christ.

And pray that Elfe's VISA to come to the U.S. permanently will soon be approved.

Asking Prayers for a biopsy next week on my kidney.

Welcome Robert. Many of us come on this great website daily or regularly to do this very thing. We're itching to share our understanding of God's Word to those who have genuine, pressing questions on their hearts; because the Word is precious to us & uppermost in our thoughts & meditations.

But with all matters centered on the Bible, we would expect that the enquirer would be in prayer about it & diligently search the Scriptures for themselves even after receiving our responses to you. It is ultimately God's Holy Spirit that has to make His Word real & meaningful to your heart & life. Blessings.

I've never requested prayer like this before but I really need prayers. Ive been studying the kjv bible with apocrypha. I enjoy it very much. I'm having problems with family and I need prayers that I'll be what God meant for me to do in Jesus's name. I love my family and wish we were all close like we use to be. And God be with me as I study God's word. Thank you very much.

Sincerly, Angela Haynes

Elizabeth,

For the believer, Jesus is our hope ( 1 Timothy 1:1), He is our peace ( Ephesians 2:14), He is the light of the world ( John 8:12), He is the good shepherd who gave His life for His sheep (All those who have surrendered their life to Him ( John 10:11), He is the head of the church ( Ephesians 1:22), He is the only one who sets us free from our sin ( John 8:36), He is our redeemer ( Job 19:25), He is the only atoning sacrifice for our sin ( 1 John 4:10), He is the Savior of those who receive Him ( Luke 2:11, John 1:12), He is the creator of all things ( Colossians 1:16-17, John 1:1-3), He is the word of God, and He is God ( John 1:1, Isaiah 9:6), He is our only way to salvation ( John 10:9, John 14:6).

There are many, many more descriptors in the Bible that tell us who Jesus is, but it would take many more posts to list them all.

Benjamin:

You want you prayers to always be answered; Pray in this manner, THY WILL BE DONE.

Prays of thanksgiving is what pleased God.

We don't know that God is not using sickness and hurting to bring his people to him, we can ask, but it should always be in the context of HIS WILL BE DONE.

He knows exactly what needs to be done in each of his children to conform them to the IMAGE of CHRIST.

Many preach a prosperity gospel, but Christ said you enter the kingdom through much tribulation.

God Bless YOU!

Amen Brother David:

Just remember the words written, not all see and hear at the same time. It's God's WORK; when he chooses to reveal himself to someone, and then only a little light at a time.

Just keep preaching TRUTH, it will prevail, at God's appointed time.

God Bless YOU!

can you tell me more about YHWH is he in the old and new

Hi Gigi.

How's Brian and the family?

Have you heard from them?

Christ was sent to be our PASSOVER sacrifice, by his blood our sins are covered, and death passes over us and we are ALIVE by HIS LIFE in us.

1 Timothy 6:16 Who ONLY hath IMMORTALITY ....

It was a finished WORK 2000 years ago; now, nothing has to be ADDED and certainly nothing can be TAKEN AWAY. This is the Gospel.

You died with Christ, and you were raise a NEW CREATION, it's HIS LIFE IN YOU.

You believe, because God CAUSES you to believe. He's the LIFE in you.

Philippians 1:29 It is GIVEN to you in the behalf of Christ to believe in him ...

You have faith, because Christ is the LIFE in you.

Galatians 2:16 .... the FAITH OF Jesus Christ ....

You have WORKS, because it's HIS LIFE in you.

Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD that WORKETH in you both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

God Bless YOU!

The Lord Jesus has moved me to ask for prayers that I might attain a more fervent and effectual prayer. Please pray the Lord bring up the might of my prayers in his holy power.

May God bless you.

No, there is no such requirement mentioned in the Bible. God bless.

Amen.

Thanks for your prayers Brother Jesse.

God bless you and all you do.

Who is Jesus

Hello, let's compare scripture with what I understand you to be saying. Please correct me if I am wrong in understanding your position.

God: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 KJV

You: It sounds like... you don't "need" or "want" God's grace and may not even need to follow Christ (be a Christian)? "In regards to "having a free get out of hell card", it appears you are assuming Alex and others who believe as we do, want one or even need one. "

God: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:" Matthew 7:13 KJV

You: "salvation is all inclusive." It sounds like you're ignoring God or calling Him dishonest when He says that most will go to hell, that salvation is intended for everyone but most will not choose to follow Jesus and thus will go to hell. Acts 4:12

God: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 KJV

You: It sounds like you don't believe what the Bible says or don't believe God, because there is a risk of everyone going to hell. Someone must make a choice and "believe" as it says above. How someone can ignore this obvious verse I do not yet understand.

God: "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38 KJV

You: It sounds like you ignore the above command, that you DON'T need to repent or do anything, and that you don't even need to be forgiven? Because you assume you're already saved regardless of your actions and will be in heaven with Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and the worlds worst mass murderers dining and hanging out with them?

Do you consider yourself a Christian and can you please share what criteria you followed to believe you are one?

God bless.

Thank you for responding.

Matthew 13:10-17

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Matthew 13:34, 35

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Jesus (Christ) is the Word of God. So would we not expect God to use parabolic language in describing actual historical and future events throughout the entire Bible in order to both reveal and hide Truth.

The book of Ruth is a prime example. A beautiful love story but dripping with the Gospel message in every verse when we understand how God uses specific words and phrases to reveal some aspect of the Gospel.

I read my BIBLE each day! Am I

allowed to contact you if I don't

Hi Adam,

I agree with Alex that salvation is all inclusive.

In regards to "having a free get out of hell card", it appears you are assuming Alex and others who believe as we do, want one or even need one. There are millions in this world, past, present, and to come, who strive to do their best in loving others and selves, because they've learned through trial and error that to do so brings them joy and peace, and receive love in return. They realize that doing the opposite results in fear and guilt and chaos in their lives. It simply has nothing to do with thinking they have a free pass. Some may not even spend their lives consciously pursuing God; yet may have lived more lovingly than practicing, self proclaimed Christians. There are also some who constantly struggle back and forth, yet never give up on God. Some of these will never come to the understanding that God is Love and only Love and just plain give up. What a shame.

Thank David920.

We have to know who is the letter is being written to. Why, When, and be visual, because Christ says "When you shall see". And it must Harmonize with all of scripture and apply it literally unless there's a signal or sign/reason not to.

May God bless you in your studies.

Thanks and I always enjoy studying with you Ronald.

I enjoy when my wife kidnapps me.

That means we get to eat out and no dishes to wash for me.

God bless.

Can anyone LIST ALL the things that one MUST OBEY, so one want go to hell? an what if your fail to do one?

This is exactly what the OLD covenant was; a LIST, and they FAILED.

Christ did away with the OLD list if LAWS, and set up a NEW covenant, He would be THE (immortal) LIFE in the NEW CREATION, and he ''CAN OBEY ALL GOD'S WORDS''.

John 14:6 ....I am THE LIFE ....

Romans 8:2 For THE LAW (2nd covenant) of the Spirit of (immoral) LIFE in Christ Jesus hath made me FREE from THE LAW (1st covenant) of sin and DEATH (not hell).

1 Timothy 6:16 Who (Christ) ONLY hath immortality, dwelling in the LIGHT ...

You and I DIED on the CROSS.

Satan tells you It's still up to you to OBEY, who are you going to believe the lies of Satan or the SPIRIT of TRUTH.

John 14:6 ....I am TRUTH .....

Philippians 2:13 For it is God in you (the new creation) that worketh both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

God Bless YOU!

The manmade doctrine of 100% everyone being "saved" is not only a serious misinterpretation of what the Bible says, but is a lie originating from satan himself. Satan wants people to deceived into believing this so they don't feel they need to obey God whatsoever. It's wrapped up in clever fallacies and false assumptions. All someone has to do to refute this manmade idea is to read the Bible. I'd rather listen to Jesus then a man. Both aren't right, so by definition one of these beliefs is untrue. Is it true that obeying God is "bad"? Is it likely that God wants you to defy him and do the opposite of what He says, or is it more likely that satan wants that? This sounds exactly like what satan would say.

Those twisting scripture to conform to a narrow cult manmade idea who accuse obedience to God as being "bad" would also be accusing Jesus of the same thing. John 14:15. Satan's signature is usually on pushing opposites of the truth, starting from the garden of eden.

Satan is clever and whenever I see his lies on a Bible site I will keep calling it out so no one else is deceived. Again, the antidote to this poison is actually reading the Bible, because it says so many times that following the law is GOOD. Obedience is GOOD. Following God is GOOD. Romans 6:15 Someone who claims to have freedom to commit any sin imaginable while having a free get out of hell card is exactly what Jesus warned about when He said depart from me. Matthew 7:22-23.

The false assumption and contradiction in the cult doctrine is that everything good is "works" and it's all "bad" meanwhile they don't call sinning as "bad" or "works". So, the assumption is doing any good is bad, and bad is good. Wow.

Alex I think its possible we've already discussed this topic before and your motives are between you and God. He knows your heart and whether you are following Him and believing in the truth. You will have to stand in front of Him like everyone else and account for every word you speak. God be with you.

@ Dennis Giacomino and @ Jesse Over

There is a difference between the Kingdom of God (Christ inside you) and the Kingdom of Heaven (a place to come on earth). Please view Robert Breaker video on you tube labeled The Kingdom of God vs The Kingdom of Heaven for in depth Bible scripture.

Matthew 6:33 (keyword is FIRST... implying there is something to follow - second)

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

You can not "see" or "observe" the Kingdom of God.

Luke 17:20

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Matthew 3:2 "And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Matthew 7:21 (Heaven is a place)

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
