Hi Christy, I'm not an expert on this, but I know scripture is different in terms of dietary restrictions between the old testament and new. Acts 10:13-15 is an example of a change that God had made clean that which used to be unclean.

Dear Ellyn

God is one but there are 3 distinct persons which are called The Father, The Son(who became the man Jesus Christ) and The Holly Spirit. But still God is one, not 3 Gods, not a God with somehow 3 heads. One God, but 3 persons (of the same nature). It is difficult for us people to understand this since there is nothing respective to that in our world but we have to believe it and accept it simply as we hear it. Many things will only be revealed to us in the future, in Heaven. So The Holly Spirit is a person, not a thing. Every person of the Godhead or Trinity (other names of the triune God) has a distinctive work that performs in the church and in the world. GBU

It means human creature(people) dear Jag.

Hi Dgjot,

I can relate to what your saying. I don't think the scripture means to share our faults with just anyone, and I'm not sure it means to share 100% of every negative thing we think about ourselves or every possible sin. Too much focus on negative things can also feed negative thinking. I think this is reserved for an extremely selective few or one within boundaries of mutual trust to where its appropriate to share something that will allow accountability and strength in hearing. In my experience, this opportunity doesn't occur very often. It's something I've prayed for through the years. Many people don't have trusting relationships and don't have this opportunity so I don't think anyone should feel bad if they are not in a situation allowing for this.

Also, the feeling of "alone" is just a perception that is subject to change. Some feel alone in a crowd, but someone else in the same exact situation may feel a part of a community even if they don't know or talk to anyone. Someone may feel alone even while they interact in a Bible chat like this, but others might feel this is like their church community. Some feel alone by themselves, others thrive and don't feel alone even when no one is physically around. In a sense none of us are alone, because we always have God to talk to. Which is correct? Which mindset is healthiest for us to have?

I don't have anyone to talk to. I'm alone.

To add to the discussion on Psalm 22; the sufferings of Christ; His one time separation from the Father so that He could be the atonement for our sins and utter rejection by His own should be considered carefully. There are plenty of scientific journals which talk of the incredible suffering with the brutality of a crucifixion. We need to remember that while we were yet ENEMIES Christ died for us. (see Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:3 and many other scriptures). He experienced what we under the blood will never have to experience when taking on our sin and trading it for His righteousness through the sacrifice on the cross. There is more to see here as we get to Psalm 24 on that subject.

As for now; we remember that He will always have the nail scarred hands and feet on His resurrected body. ( Luke 24:39). He conquered death itself; which also is a theme discussed in the next study on Psalm 23 often used to assure those on their hour of need or to those facing death. Our only hope is in Christ; as are the blessings so we need to carefully examine our hearts to see if we are right with the Lord NOW. (See Hebrews 9:27).

Agape.

This Psalm is widely known as a prophetic one about the crucifixion of Christ. There are many cross references here which can be cited but I feel it is more fitting to leave it to the reader to examine the scriptures for themselves what appears between Genesis 3 and Micah. This would be the main scripture that should speak to Jews along with the often avoided Psalm 53 on the sufferings of Messiah.

Verses 26 and on signify the future reign of Christ on earth; as to my eschatological bend; I would say the Millennial period is in focus here; notwithstanding all eternity afterwards. This is much like Luke 4:18 which quotes the first part of the statement beginning Isaiah 61 (verse 1) without verse 2 which states; once again His rule after the second coming. In general; however we feel about the Millennial period taking verses as anything but literal makes no sense when all those who are Post Millennial; for instance seem to take the prophetic verses of His first coming quite literally. This multilayered view is more common than not in the prophetic. It is clear in many of these Psalms that David when speaking through the inspiration of the Spirit spoke of Christ's sufferings and in that sense also suffered as we are today ( 1 Peter 5:10). In this Psalm; however it seems that everything is about Christ rather than David. No wonder God said that he was a "man after His own heart." ( 1 Sam. 13:14).

Hey my name is daisy I will always love god. I will never stop loving god he is the one that

1-died on the church cross

Dear Dgjot

It says in James 5:16 to confess our sins to one another. But this does not mean to anybody, but to those who you are in a strong Christian friendship with who knows you well and deeply cares for your growth as a believer. It is not easy to be honest with others about our failings. But we are instructed to do so. We can also confess to a pastor. But even so, we must confess to God when we know we have sinned. If we have sinned against another person, then we are to go to that person and confess that we have wronged them and ask for forgiveness and make restitution (if applicable). This is what honorable people do. so, I suggest that you pray about this and before you share with someone else your sins. God can bless such intimate exposure to one another in so many amazing ways.

Dear Jag,

I will speak about your second question. I think it is clear in the Scriptures that Jesus saves all of us, body, soul, and spirit.

1Thessalonions 5:22

Hebrews 10:39

James 1:21

All speak of the salvation of our souls.

please pray for Gianna, she really needs your prayers brethren. thank you.

Dear Melanie,

I have family members that are very difficult to interact with. /this has been going all of my adult life, and I am 65. These sisters grew up hearing and gaining knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and had many upon many opportunities to believe in Him and trust Him for their salvation. They each have chosen different beliefs than those Jesus taught in His life and Word. They are involved in pagan idolatrous practices and lifestyles that are called very sinful by God's Word. They are not only unrepentant, but explicitly have said to me that I (and others in our family who are Christians) they expect us to not only tolerate their beliefs but to accept them. I cannot do that. With the recent passing of my Mom, all this ugliness reared its head again. But we got through it and now can decide how we will be in our future interactions with one another. Our Mom was the reason we would all get together (all 10 of us kids). Now that she is gone to be with the Lord, we probably will not meet as a whole family much anymore. But if there is a whole family happening, I will go. There is always an opportunity to be kind, loving, and a witness in these situation. However, I and the few other siblings that love the Lord and get along have pretty much decided that we will not pursue interactions with these sisters in the future. We will not try to make the relationship better, nor accept invitations to get together with any of them in their homes or in a restaurant, etc. These thypes of interactions have been fruitless in the past. We are done. I do believe that there comes times in relationship s when we do need to shake the dust off of our feet with those who will not receive the message of Christ from us when we have presented Him over and over again in our words and deeds. When their usual response is hostile, eager to find something to create a grievance over, and other types of animosity, we just think that it is best to part ways. Hope this helps. Pray!

The word creature referred to in verse 15,what does it mean? Are we supposed to preach to birds and animals also?

Additionally do their souls also receive slavation and destined for heaven?

In the New Testament What does it say about what we are to eat as in the way of animals?

You don't have to have anything to do with anyone that you don't want to . We must always try very hard to forgive everyone but we don't have to have them in our lives if we don't want to . However , you cannot help your sister if you remove yourself from her . People with challenging behaviours can be very difficult to be around and you certainly need to protect yourself . I have one or two family members that I don't enjoy being around . I try very hard to be kind and loving to them because I believe that this is what God wants me to do and also , I feel slightly sorry for them and I know that they are way more vulnerable than they seem . Ultimately it is your choice , I do believe that God gives us certain people in our lives , the good ones and the not so good , for a reason . Maybe to help us grow as compassionate humans ? We must learn the lessons that God teaches us through our life experiences . Whatever you decide to do remember that you have to live with your choice and give account of yourself to God .

Hope everything goes well for you . Trust in God no matter what happens . He will never leave you .

Good afternoon all!

Please pray for both my friends Mom's who are in the hospital! Surgery for one Mom went fine, going to rehab soon, the other Mom is now close to going home to the Lord!

We praise the Lord for all his blessings and know in our hearts how much he cares and loves us!!

Thank you Lord Jesus for all of our families, friends, neighbors and co-workers!!!

You are the King of Kings and Lord of all!!

In Jesus'name we pray, Amen!!!!!

James 5:16 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

I could have sworn that somewhere in the N.T. it said, Confess your faults TO GOD or to one another.

No way will I confess my faults to another human being. I confess my sins to God and God alone. Can you imagine the fear I would have to live with, if I bared my soul to someone who would turn around and expose me??? I'd kill myself.

This evening I'm going in for a medical evaluation appointment to see whether I will be approved for disability or not please pray that the doctor who is conducting the evaluation and examination will be compassionate understanding and will listen to what I have to say during the examination please pray that the doctor will give the green light approval for disability please pray please pray thank you and God bless

I am requesting prayer for my granddaughters to be saved and filled with the holy ghost. Pray for her two children to be obedient and protected. Please pray especially for her son Jeremiah for a calm spirit inside and outward and that he will hear and be attentive in his classes, do his homework for class assignments at home and at school. And I hope that he would become a member of the basketball team at his school. Pray that his behavior towards Jesus Christ is love, honor and respect. Pray that he respects his, teacher's and those who have authority and rule over him, that he would be obedient, and respectful. I ask that you pray that I will recognizes, hear and to obey God's spirit. Pray that God would give me his spirit of boldness and the courage to stand up and speak up for things that are Righteous. And for me to be heal of my lung's disease, arthritis, and to have courage and to be obedient to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I ask my pray request in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Michael

All people are sinners, our righteousness is like filthy rags compared to God's. That is why we have been given the Blood of Jesus. And since our sins are erased by God (when we repent when we fail) we now look in His eyes as righteous. We are considered as righteous by Him now. So we don't please God with our own righteousness but with that which is given to us by Him (the Blood of Jesus Christ). One has to have this clear in their mind otherwise we will all end up with a guilty conscience, which is wrong So keep your way towards Heaven with joy, Jesus paid the penalty for our dins on the cross so that we have joy here and eternally in Heaven.

Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice"

GBU.

If all my best is of filthy rags to God and because I'm, all of us are carnal and fall short of the glory of God. How can I feel I ever please him? Seems like every sermonI hear I'm never good when looking at scriptures. Aren't we created for good works? Thessalonians 2, 10 makes this point. I don't want to raise myself above people but I'm trying my best and always hear I'm not good enough.

What is the Holy Ghost? I have never been clear on this. In church when I was a child we would say "I believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost". What is the Holy Ghost?

Thank you
