I was just studying this a few days ago. Only God possess true, unadulterated righteousness. He is absolutely pure and free of sin. He is completely separated from any evil. He is always true to Who he is essentially and constitutionally.
No human other than Jesus is righteous of their own merit. Jesus alone lived a perfect human life as the God/Man. He obeyed the Father always. He never sinned. He never had a wayward thought, or unloving impulse or motive. He never said a sinful word or gave a sinful "look" or mannerism. Because of this perfect life lived by the 'Son of God and Son of Man, He was the perfect One to sacrifice His own life as a propitiation for the sins of the whole earth. His death and resurrection accomplished for us a righteousness we can possess through Jesus in which we are seen as morally perfect as Jesus is before the Father and can approach Him. This righteousness is Jesus' righteousness imputed to every believer. It is 100% His righteousness that we obtain with 0% moral goodness from any believer.
Every "good' that any believer does is tainted with our sinful nature. They are unacceptable to God, because He requires perfect good to come before Him and not be consumed by His wrath towards sin. This is why believing that all that is acceptable to God is all of what Jesus did. This does not mean that we should not wish to be obedient to God and love one another in our lives as believers. The Holy Spirit is our sanctifier. We humbly rely on the Holy Spirit to help us do the works God has ordained for us to do in His power, grace, and goodness. The Holy Spirit will continue to sanctify us in this life so that we become more and more like Jesus in His humanity. But we can never be as pure as God. he is infinitely pure.
In the life that follows our physical death, we will shed our sinful nature from our souls and spirit. When we are bodily resurrected we will no longer have any sinful nature in our new fleshly bodies.
How is your daughter who is hospitalized today? I am praying for her to recover completely and that baby is saved from harm. Amen.
I believe it was olive oil, but perhaps mixed with incense such as myrrh, frankincense or, hyssop.
God took my husband home almost 2 years ago. It has been difficult for the entire family. He was such a Blessing to everyone who knew him. I cannot wait to join him in Heaven. God has provided so much for me and I thank him everyday. God knows that I have difficulty with some of my family I try so hard and I pray I can keep going.
Take care and God Bless You.
In Exodus 30:22-33 you will find the mixture of myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, cassia, and olive oil, it was to be considered sacred. The act of anointing with sacred oil emphasized that it was God who had ordained them with the authority to act as his representative. It was also symbolic of the one to come the Anointed One, the Messiah Jesus, who was anointed not with oil but the Holy Spirit/Ghost without measure, Luke 4:1 John 3:34.
You can buy it online, not cheap about 20-25 dollars an ounce or you can buy the ingredients and make it yourself the quantities are in Exodus 30, you just cut down the recipe, I don't think one would need that much, ha ha.
God bless,

1. Figuratively God married Israel, also Jesus will marry the church. It means that we are going to live together with God, like a man with his wife. arriage in those cases is a symbolism, it is not litteral.
2. Fiction.I made a mistake and stole my neighbors car while I was a believer. Then I repented for my behavior. Can I keep the car? I think this is a good example that could give an answer about believers (who knew God's Will) who remarry and then repent.They must correct the mistake they made, they knew, they didn't have ignorance, no excuse. There is a difference though with people that were not believers when they were remarried and afterwards believed. They stay as they are, married. Because they thought the new marriage was OK,(while the believers knew what they did was illegal). The aim of God is not to split a family that was made while in ignorance but keep families together.
3. Isn't it not enough that the requirement for faithful children is written in Titus and not in Timothy? When Paul writes something to Thessalonians and he doesn't write the same thing to Philippians, that means that it is not valid for Philippians too? How could one has his children in obedience and rule well his house if his children are worldly? If his children, say want to go out to a club and get drunk and bring their girlfriends home, is that a good ruling or managing? What is that pastor supposed to do in such a case? Young men in the world do not have the same morality as the ones in the faith. They can do all sort of strange things that the world consider as normal. Would you accept him as a pastor in your church? God's servants must have nothing to be blamed of, himselves and their families. They must be an example to the congregation.

I apologize, I should have dissected Matthew 5:32 more closely.
You see their are exceptions to divorcing without causing one to sin on one another, and it is fornication.
The verse should be interpreted as Jesus saying (except) for fornication, if one takes the word (saving) back to it's original language it means (except) for fornicating
Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving/except for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
So you see there is an exception to divorce, God put away Israel for fornicating/adultery, and He forgave her so she can be.
Bible Hub interlinear study.
Christianity at large just simply knows what the surveys show, that the KJV is what they identify as THE Word of God. We should ask ourselves, "Is the Holy God we serve VOID of the power to preserve his Divine Word of truth?" No, of course he is not void of it! By his Divine power he has surmounted human intellect and ORDAINED the continuance of his Divine Word of Truth, and even identified it for us by the God-given enate witness he instilled within us! That witness has been faithfully operating before and since the close of the canon and, at this present time, and for the last 400 years, has been Divinely thrust forward as the King James Bible.
The very day fallen human intellect manages to sideslip total human depravity and become God's advocates of perfect truth, that is the day subtle error tiptoes in to neutralize God's Truth. The whole of humanity, through sin, has fallen into total depravity, and finds it impossible to postulate a condition that supersedes itself. For imperfection to fully decipher itself is an impossibility. God's Word should be read with that truth in mind, for He has ordained that such an arrangement will never happen to His eternal Word of Truth--we will only hurt ourselves in the attempt.
Gen 26:4 is regarding the seed and lineage from Abraham. It's talking about people, not gods. He's giving countries to people, not gods, for example.
If the comment is referring to 'gods' as in Psalms 82:6, Acts 7:40, notice it uses lower case 'g'. The word God is not used in the same manner as the one true God uppercase, but plural lowercase, which indicates a metaphor for His followers having characteristics of His authority. Psalm 82:1 demonstrates the difference.
If believers can be metaphorically considered 'gods,' how much more is the One whom God has chosen and sent ( John 10:34-36)?
Before believers start running around assuming they're deities from these few select verses (exactly what satan wants), the scripture must also be balanced with the entire context of other scripture in God's Word, such as:
Rom 13:1-4 - calls followers the "minister of God", that all power comes from God, but all are subject to God's "higher powers".
John 17:3
James 4:7
1 Peter 5:6
Romans 13:1
Romans 12:1-2
etc.
God bless
Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Matthew 5:31 It was said, 'Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That every one that shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
If one truly repents, I believe ALL sins are forgiven, but I guess churches don't see it that way, they have their rules, can't change that. sry!
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and turn ye again to Me, that your sins may be (blotted out), in order that ... times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
Then Peter said unto them, "Repent [change your mind for the better and morally], and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and ye shall receive the free gift of THE Holy Spirit.
1 Timothy 3:12 Must be another rule of The Church, because Titus doesn't state Children must be in the Faith.
The verse states "well managed children", and not "Children of Faith". Where do you get Children must be in the Faith out of ruling their children, and their own houses? In verse 12
Managing their children is the same as ruling, It means (Well Respected) honorable,commendably,kind enough,honestly,usually morally.
People pray down the list of requests without responding or hitting the PRAY button. I do. Trust that The Lord has heard your prayer. And the answer is on the way.

God bless you Brenda. In Jesus name.And
would give up all and give to the poor and go out penniless in twos as Jesus taught.
Two women together --- two men together. Go out and preach this gospel to all the world.
All will have an opportunity to hear the original Gospel taught by Jesus. Pray to be awake
spiritually when your own opportunity presents itself.
The Just, lawful, righteous man, who are in the right
Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth/tests a righteous one: is referring to a righteous man, his soul. And tests the lawless one and him that loveth violence He hateth.
Why does God test the Just/righteous!
Almost all readership charts show the KJV at 31%. The nearest to it is the NIV at only 13%. All the rest are near non-existent. The NKJV by its own description is not a new translation, but a language correction of the KJV. The KJV and the NKJV combined puts the preferred readership at 38%, far and away humanity's favored translation of the Holy Scriptures.
We call the Bible the Holy Bible, or the Holy Scriptures. The word HOLY means perfect, without blemish, non-erroneous. Whatever declaration it makes, that is the truth of it. It may not direct itself to a specific subject such as science or logic, but whatever it touches, it is the truth of it by definition whether or not humanity agrees with it.
Virtually 100% of fundamental Christian theologians agree that God reveals himself to fallen humanity in three ways: 1. The God-made outer witness of creation (Atheists almost never win debates with Christianity's scientists; in fact, one leading atheist scientist advised her chums to never debate Christianity's scientists because they always win). 2. The God-ordained written witness of God's perfect Word. (The perfect logic of God's omniscience demands Divine perpetuity of God's perfect message to lost humanity). 3. The God-prompted inner witness in mankind's soul and spirit, inspiring an inner hunger for perfect Truth. All three of these work in harmony with one another toward the salvation of fallen humanity.
1 Corinthians 11:15
A woman's long hair is her glory and covering.
About the clothing don't wear mens clothing, men don't crossdress either!
Dress modestly. That goes for men nowadays as well. Even in the church world sometimes I literally have to look away from the tight revealing clothing that distracts and reveals private matters.
I can't help but wonder how different this world would be if every woman covered her lady parts in public. And behaved modestly and shamefacedly with sobriety. Not flashy and decked out with gold, pearls, braids, face paint, etc. I do believe that has defiled our world in so many ways.
But then I also think women who are natural and modest and are full of the sweet Holy Spirit are absolutely beautiful! Men too!
I have also had the privilege of knowing many of these modest Godly people. So it's very easy to see that the Bible is correct.
We should not force people to obey these things it should come from the heart. And some get way too judgy and mean in the churches. I have seen many in Holiness churches wearing correct clothing in a very revealing or seductive manner. Pray about it. Friendship with the world is enmity with God. Who are you trying to please? Your flesh? The world? Or the Holy Spirit?
Nice to hear from you once again. I was wondering about you since you haven't posted for a while. Hope you are doing well.
Please consider reading and reflection on 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Matthew 6:33-34, Philippians 4:12-13, and Psalms 37.
