Father, Gracious Lord the Great I Am. Father God in Heaven, O Divine Redeemer, great was Your goodness in undertaking our redemption, in consenting to be made sin for us, in conquering all our foes.

why did Aarons sons died

Hello, I am wondering about Jesse, haven't heard from you for awhile. How are you doing?

Yes, Fred, it is the grace of God ( Titus 2:11-14) that brings salvation...it teaches us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for Jesus' return (our blessed Hope). He gave Himself that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

And check out 2 Peter 1:2-4. It says that God's grace and peace can be multiplied to us in regards to knowledge of God an of Jesus our Lord. And it says that -as His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue (Jesus'), by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these yo may be partakers (acquire the communicable virtues of God and reflect the character of God to others) of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Then it goes on to (vs. 5-11) to list what we should strive (with the help of the Holy Spirit) to acquire and how we are to attain maturity. It is so very wonderful that God does not convert us and then leave the rest to us on our own efforts and strength. We would fail miserably again and again in our own humanity. But with the divine gifts that God gives us through the Spirit, we can become increasingly godly in our behavior, devoted to God, desirous of becoming more and more like Jesus, and seeking to commune with Him in our daily walk. He is always with us, always able to deliver us from evil, always true to His promises, and will accomplish His purpose in us-to be saved from sin, death, and the devil; and to be made fit for the life to come. We already have eternal life, though we still have mortal bodies. But God's plan for His people is far beyond whatever we can even imagine.

Fred, we will all be changed one day. All sin and corruption will be completely and forever removed from us. Can't wait

With the heart man believes unto righteousness

if we live in the spirit of Christ, we shall do those things that glorify Him. If you are looking to displace sin in the process, remember we have an advantage over sin. It is the forgiveness of it! God came to heal the sick, there is a fine line we walk, it is called grace. Saving souls is on the front burner, anything else can simmer. We can never know the heart that needs what it needs. Only the holy Spirit does!

for famly

Within us, we have a certain amount of all the attributes of the twelve tribes of Israel. e.g. Reuben - The First

Simeon - The Aggressor

Levi - The Cleric

Judah - The Leader

Dan - The Judge

Naphtali - The Free Spirit

Gad - The Warrior

Asher - The Prosperous One

Issachar - The Scholar

Zebulun - The Businessperson

Joseph - The Sufferer

Menashe - Reconnection

Ephraim - Transformation

Benjamin - The Ravenous Consumer

These are names that live within a child of God. When we recognize who we are before God, we understand that who we are is what He has made us to be. That within these names are the future generations that will glorify Him in whatever situation you find ourselves in! Nations, peoples, that shall overcome no matter what the circumstances. Now we see Him as He is, in the face of Jesus Christ! Now we know Him as He is. How perfect are His ways, that while we were yet sinners He died for us.

That we are in one body, the body of Christ! That nothing can nor will separate us from His ultimate sacrifice for ALL mankind . That the glory of God would be manifest in us, through the knowledge of the savior Jesus Christ!

Thank you S Spencer for your detailed reply.

Regarding worship there seems to be many Christians who assume its bad to put effort into anything or be obedient or do anything active towards living as a Christian, because they believe its 'works' and they've been taught that all works is 'bad' despite scripture like James 2:26. I believe they think that Christians are on autopilot as the holy spirit leads them, that their name is already in the book of life and that their actions don't even matter anymore. And if they don't feel a deliberate force (such as the holy spirit) making them worship God, then they won't. If they feel a 'force' instead directs them to go to an adult nightclub and engage in sin they may do that instead, however, even if that 'force' is mistaken for temptation from satan. But some who identify as Christians believe they no longer have freewill to sin, despite verses like Rom 3:10. Some assume that even if they sin by the world's standards that not really sin according to God, therefore they shouldn't have any concerns about it whatsoever, despite Luke 12:5.

Given this belief, does God want worship to be a deliberate choice? Is it a command we as Christians must continue to do daily as a 'sacrifice of praise', or is it something just here and there to consider doing if convenient, or should we do absolutely nothing and 100% trust a spiritual force to direct us if we ever need to worship God?

Hello . I cannot believe that Eve would have that sort of relationship with her own son .

Thank you all who responded

Hello, I checked the Q and A and found this: Link

I think there's 3 possibilities commonly mentioned:

1. Eve had more children and one of Cain's sisters (or other relative) became his wife?

2. God created more people but it just wasn't stated (such as from the land of Nod)?

3. Eve herself acted as Cain's wife?

The subsequent verses clearly indicate that this group is taken out of great Tribulation. Many would argue that the 144,000 were witnessing to this great multitude; and this is the result of the world's greatest evangelistic outreach.

I; however question that in light of verse 14 of the same chapter. This indicates that their robes were washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. It would seem that there is a link here to those who had stained garments such as Sardis church in Rev. 3:4; with a further admonition in the next verse of being victorious. In light of those who are in white and unwrinkled garments in Ephesians 5:27 and even the admonition of Ecclesiastes 9:8 as well as possibly the parable of the wise virgins it seems like a strong possibility that in the first part of the Tribulation some may be left behind who are currently compromised and worldly. In other words; that would make the Rapture a reward issue; rather than merely a salvation one.

At some point of course there will be those who are martyred for not taking the mark of the Beast. That appears to be after this event if we take things mainly chronologically. Even in that case; we need to remember by the sixth seal everyone is aware of God an Christ and they go to the caves to hide from their presence ( Rev. 6:15). That is a far cry from when eventually they fight against Christ at Armageddon. My point though is that there will be no need to preach as we do now that Christ is Lord but a declaration of judgment ensuing; and the Kingdom arriving on earth will be proclaimed. We see this also once angels and apparently an eagle go throughout the earth admonishing man to worship the Creator; not to take the mark; and the woes are given to Babylon. ( Rev. 14:6-12). Notice that at the end of this passage those who are about to die are mentioned; thus bolstering another group of martyrs after the one mentioned in Revelation 7.

Not worth arguing about; let us all be Bereans.

If Adam had three sons- Cain, Abel, and Seth, but Abel died, where did Cain get his Wife from?. Dr.Martins

We are reminded of James once again in regard to the tongue and how dangerous it can be. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways ( James 1:8

There are also prophetic overtones once again; such as the character of the Antichrist in Dan. 11:32. We also see in the first verse that godly and faithful man fails and ceases. That reminds us of what happens when the restrainer is removed in 2 Thess. 2:6. Verse 4 seems to show a world thinking that they are without leadership (small lord). The verse about silver tried in a furnace of earth; purified seven times reminds us of the seven year Tribulation as well as the concept in Leviticus 26:18 for God's people.

Verse 7 shows preservation from this (possibly the last) generation. That could indicate a deliverance FROM the wicked; or THROUGH the Tribulation when the wicked reach their apex.

God knows how to preserve His children as we see the concept in 2 Peter 2:9 (also translated dtemptations) also it is clearer in Romans 1:16-17 where we are kept from the "wrath to come." Verse 5 reminds us that as Christ said "the poor will always be among you." ( Matt. 26:11). It appears that children will be restored according to Isaiah 49:25 as well as literal releasing of prisoners in Isaiah 51:14; although other verses can be applied to Christ freeing us from the prison of sin such as Isaiah 61:1-2 quoted by Christ.

These verses could have been penned by David with some of his own personal situation on his mind at least; but these broad promises certainly go beyond just being applied to David's situation as the Spirit inspired these passages in Psalms as in all scipture.

Is there scripture concerning deathbed salvation? Many say faith without works is dead yet scripture says faith is all thats required for salvation grace is a gift from God. Not meaning to answer my own question, just need scripture to support.

Who are the great multitude in Verse 9?

Hi Midian.

That's interesting. Esau is a type of fleshly man and so is Jacob sometimes when used in scripture.

But Esau cared not for the birth rights. Jacob wanted it but he had to learn to trust God. When he did he was later named Israel.

( The birthright wasn't given by merit.)

This seems to paint a picture of the wickedness of the ungenerated heart of man. Man has no faith or desire for God apart from the spirit of God. A 1000 years of man being ruled by the Lord with a rod of Iron and when satan is loosed not only do they rebel, they go to war against the Lord. That's not the Church who follow the Lord because they hear his voice!

John 10:27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

God's spirit in a believer won't lead him to rebel against God.

Here's 2 verses to consider;

1 John 4:4. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

( We've been sealed)

2 Thessalonians 2:7.

"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. (This is how Satan's deception is made possible )

By the time you get to Revelation 4 We've been Redeemed.

God bless.

Everyone should drive speed limit. Children could be harmed, our women, our fathers. Be your brothers keeper.

Maybe you mean verse 9? It says bows, arrows, spears, etc. Seems more primitive than nukes to me.

I typed in Hebrews 13:5 in the search then clicked Bible Commentary and looks like there's 2 commentaries and 4 more if you click the button. Did you try that yet and if you have a more specific question beyond that I'm sure someone is happy to help.

You might consider starting your reading at the gospels and you will encounter the healings that Jesus did. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.

Yes, but some parts of the Bible children may not understand as well until they get older. Some old testament stories have complex relationship dynamics and various complex situations. Adults may not understand it the first read through either, however. Every time I read through I learn something new.

Hi Beverly, did you try the commentaries yet?

Amen. Father I join in crying out for your mercy for them, us and all in need.
