18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
There are people twisting the truth about God's will and how he perceives us as all sinners. We are actually afraid to speak our minds, run our businesses, be able to shun them for their lusts, refuse to allow them to be a part of us for fear of man's law, to be in the spot light of their judgement. Verse 24 explains how God gave them up and how He felt about their lifestyle.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;.
The final verse should resonate with all of us because I'm having difficulty seeing how allowing it to surround me in public, with use of the the rainbow (which is suppose to be a symbol of God's promise), in our schools with God's children, and in the title of holy matrimony that somehow I am forced to accept it or have any pleasure in that acceptance. Does it not imply in verse 32 all that take any pleasure in them that commit such things are worthy of death?
32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
You said "as we are driven to truth."
Jesus told His disciples in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
We display him with HONESTY AND NO DECEPTION.
AMEN?
does this statement mean that people who say they believe, experiencing Gods power in their life, can also be destroyed for unbelief?
1 Corinthians 15:33 "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." Clearly says "bad company corrupts good character." Based on this passage of Scripture, I believe it is okay to cut anything toxic things of your life, including people. Cut out the bad company. Cut those who would cause you to stumble, fall into sin, or affect your faith.
If for some reason it isn't possible for you to walk away from these toxic people, set boundaries between them and yourself. Ignore their comments. Devote yourself to God. Pray for God's help when they make fun of you. And pray for them--pray that God will convict them to stop harassing you. Pray that He will convict them to come to Him for salvation or restoration. Don't allow these toxic people to cause you to sin.
God bless and protect you!
Acts 19 chapther. Stay close to the lord always in his word, pray incessantly and put on the full armor of God. Ephesians 6 the whole chapter to get The overall understanding. Power and strength are given to you by the Holy Ghost. Pray to the Lord Jesus to get it right now. Thank You Jesus for doing that Quite right, Amen.
I have been struggling financially. I pay a lot of money in rent and I have a few bucks in my bank account. I do not have any savings and I live alone. Please help me pray for a financial miracle. I will pray for you too. Thank you.
I saw someone today with a t-shirt that said, "let's Co-exist".
I thought, well that is fine for them because they know that they are NOT following God's way and are expecting us who know Him and follow Him to approve of their ideas, religious practices and beliefs, worldview, and daily lifestyles. My sister is this way, she is a practicing occultic shamanistic spiritist and when I was planning our Mom's memorial service last summer (Mom had chosen me ahead of time to lead it) my sister complained to my other sisters that there would be an inequity of spirituality at this memorial due to me being a Christian along with my other sister who Mom had designated to help, and my Mom. I was beyond flabbergasted that she would even complain about this! I thought that memorials were to honor the one who died and to bring her occultic practices into the memorial service would be so disrespectful.
In an e-mail after her complaint to my other sisters, she told me that memorials are for the ones who survive, not so much for the one who died and that all spiritualities should be welcomed AND ACCEPTED. So, there you have it. Expecting me to "co-exist" with her pagan occultic religious practices with full acceptance. I responded simply by thanking her for sharing her thoughts with me and left it at that. It does not pay to get into such matters with her. She has long been a sore spot in our family dynamics. But I was kind but not inviting to consider more of what she had to say.
So, as I read through Leviticus, it is so apparent that God does not want us to co-exist with those who stand against Him and the truth of who He is and what He has done for us. The wickedness of this time in history is so pervasive and whatever is against God and has been called evil by Him is touted as good and those do not agree are considered evil and hateful. So much for tolerance of others ideas and our freedom to think and say what we believe.
Gog is the word that the Jews use for all people who are the enemies of Israel.
All people who are the enemies of Israel are called Gog.
This is all taken from imagery in Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39. In that picture, the kings of the east will come through the dried up Euphrates River and attack God's people.
Magog is the god, or idol of Gog.
Thank you for this information. That is also my understanding. However, the intent of my post was not to show how the Hebrew people greet each other. What I was sharing had to do with the phrase, "Peace be to this house."
That phrase is an actual Hebraism that that a Hebrew person would have understood.
In Genesis 1:28 the Hebrew word male or mala is translated as replenish; some have used this translation to support the gap theory, also known as the Ruin-Reconstruction theory, which involves the necessity for God to recreate and re-fill the earth as a result of a so-called Lucifer's flood.
Replenish is an Old English word that was used to mean fill, from the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries. The view of fill repeatedly, thus fills completely, to make full, like a bucket of water. My understanding is God created the earth and the universe only once. All mankind and land animals were destroyed in the flood but the animals and the eight that were on the ark. All mankind today are descendants of Adam and Eve.
The question was Adam and Eve the first people? Most will say yes, they are the man, male and female on day six. Study for your understanding.
God bless,
