Hi Christina,

I believe I recall that the Queen was Anglican, not Catholic. But either way, God may have chosen her for salvation, as He did you and I. We do not know. We can not judge a person by their religious label. We leave this judgment up to God. I know many Catholics who love God dearly and trust Jesus as their Savior. Isn't that what we do? We all have areas of our belief system that are incorrect. Does that disqualify us from being true believers? I do not think so. I do think that there are essential beliefs that are a must for one to have a saved relationship with God. But our correctness or incorrectness on other beliefs does not disqualify us from being under the grace that produces salvation in us.

The Corinthian church had many errors. Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 spoke what the essentials of the faith were. That Jesus died for us, rose from the dead, was seen alive after the resurrection by over 500 people, ascended into heaven. Elsewhere Paul speaks of Jesus being the propituary sacrifice for our sins, bringing us forgiveness and reconciling us to God by making us alive to God again when we were dead in our sins. He also says that it is by grace that we are saved through faith and this grace, faith, and salvation is a gift, not earned. He says to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. So these are essential doctrines that one must hold to as a Christian believer.

I do not know what the Queen believed in this matter, so I leave her destination and judgment up to God, knowing He will always judge rightly. I do think that we will find many people in heaven who were Catholics and Anglican, etc. in this life. I, personally will be very happy that they are numbered among the multitude of saints in glory when I get there, just like I rejoice in believers who belonged to other Christian denominations in this life.

Thank you, Delilah, for your gentle words. My wife of over 61 years was more woman than a man could live up in a lifetime!

Fredrick, I pray in Jesus name, that the Lord would look upon your situation with love and compassion and open up a job that will be perfect for you where you will also be happy and be able to witness and bring others to the Lord. Or if you are in need of salvation, that there would be someone to help you. God bless you Brother.

Thank you, T. Levis. What you wrote was very encouraging! I dearly love that passage in the KJV you cited! I pray God will bless you in your youngest son's consideration of entering America's space program. America has far too many scientists who approach America's space program (and all science, for that matter) from an Atheistic mindset. If he hasn't already, I suggest he do a Google search on scientists who are Christian in their research. I have one organization in particular in mind, but the rules here rightfully disallow advertisements. God bless!

THE STORY OF ME AND MY KJV.---I was born on October 6th, 1933. Starting at my exact time of birth, counting 2,986 days, 3 hours and 55 minutes, on Sunday morning of 1941 a Japanese strike force of 353 planes destroyed Hawaii's U.S. naval base. On January 5th, 1945, two Kamikazes took aim at the aircraft carrier, USS Manila Bay. One hit his target. My brother was stationed on the bottom deck as his ship came within seconds of sinking. After the war, he came home greatly distressed, but he married and settled down. His wife birthed him a baby daughter. But one day at age 28 a brain cancer killed him, possibly from Naval fears. He was greatly loved by all, so my unsaved family was devastated. In his Hospital room, as he lay writhing, I found a Gideon KJV Bible in a drawer. I thumbed through it, but replaced it, not knowing the power between its covers. In April, 1942, the Doolittle raiders bombed Japan. A man named Deshazer was shot down and spent agonizing months in prison. He managed to get a Bible from a guard, almost certainly a KJV, and became a Christian in prison. Years later he returned to Japan as a missionary, resulting in the salvation of one Mitsuo Fuchida. Nearly 14 years after Pearl Harbor, I too became a Christian. My Tucson church's entire operational base sat on the KJV translation. I made it my life's gyrocompass to God's pure truth. One bright Sunday morning I went to church, and there on the platform sat Mitsuo Fuchida, the man who led the raid on Pearl Harbor-the man who shouted Tora! Tora! Tora! into his microphone, resulting in the death of more than 2000 Americans! He told the story of how he became a Christian. In the foyer, Fuchida and I, now Christian brothers, shook hands and looked each other in the eye. What irony! My brother from a Christian nation possibly MISSED Heaven with a KJV Bible next to his bed, and Fuchida FOUND Heaven in a KJV Bible strangely located in a heathenistic prison! I just LOVE that old black-backed book!

I have the deepest Faith in Our Lord, I thank Him every day, throughout the day and in the evening, for the Faith He Gifted me with before I was born. (I say this with great confidence that I was Blessed with this Faith before I was born because my first memory from my childhood is this: I was around 3 years of age and suffering from a very painful, recurring ear problem that the medical profession couldn't resolve. I was crying from the pain and standing with my Mother while she was at the medicine cabinet getting children's aspirin for me. As I stood with her waiting, this was my thought: I know I am going to be okay because God will protect me and help the Doctors find out what was wrong with my ear and He would help them fix it, AND He had given me the best Mother in the world and He would guide her as well. Although I was much to young to understand, I came to realize over the years that this belief at such a young age was in fact a gift from God. To address your question, I have two thoughts, the first being the knowledge that much of the Bible was written by man, man who is not perfect and therefore could/would inject their own interpretation of the Words of Our Lord. The second thought is this: Jesus walked among us and reached out to those who were considered sinners, he spoke with them, broke bread with them and talked with them about the way they lived their lives and offered words of a better way for them. He did not turn away from those who were sinners, AND HE DID NOT JUDGE THEM, God does not condemn any of His children, certainly not His children who are different from the main stream, Jesus didn't live His life following the main stream. Your Son and Granddaughter ARE NOT SINNERS AND GOD WANTS YOU TO LOVE AND EMBRACE THEM. He knows what is in their heart and soul and He loves them AND EXPECTS US TO LOVE THEM AS WELL, THESE ARE HIS CHILDREN AND ONLY HE KNOWS THEIR HEART. If they are kind and caring, the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. Enjoy loving them

Please Lord allow Isaac's wife to have a healthy child and delivery without complications I ask in Lord Jesus Christ name!!

Hello Ronald,

I am not wishing to debate either. Thank you for your input.

I read last night in Acts 15:6-11. Peter says that God had chosen him to preach to the Gospel to the Gentiles so that they would believe. He went on to say that God gave the Gentiles the Holy Spirit just as He had done for them in Jerusalem. So, apparently, Peter was preaching the Gospel to Gentiles before he knew Paul.

My point is that it is wise to avoid hard and fast views concerning how the Gospel spread nor when the church began because I think that God is the only One who truly knows what He did in those days, as He builds the church and chosen whom will preach the Gospel and where.

We have the book of Acts an the writings of Paul, Peter, John, James, and Jude to reveal some information about the church in the 1st century A.D. But this is not a running history that includes the work of all the other apostles, nor the others of the 120 who were in the room at Pentecost. if we did, we would know better how things transpired. Since Scripture does not include a full account of the workings of the church at this time, perhaps we can be satisfied that the Word of God concerning the Gospel of Jesus was spread throughout the known world during that century by Jesus' apostles and disciples as well as from Believer to those in their sphere of influence. That is the important matter, in my opinion. When the apostles became apostles or began their work or when the church truly began are somewhat peripheral matters to me. But since there is this discussion on these topics, we can share what the Scriptures say about this to one another and share what we learned from them.

I appreciate your instruction to me. It helps me.

Hi Adm Young,

Any scripture referring to "God Is", "I Am", etc., clarifies the infinite, eternal God. "God Is" reflects His omnipresence, i.e. He is

eternally everywhere. This should lead us to consider that if there is this Omnipresence, what room is there left for anything other than God/Omnipresence, Who is also omnipotent and omniscient? God Is; thus what opposes (the opposite of) Him "is not". God could never be (exist) as what opposes Him. This would render him something else. There is no compromise between what God is and what He is not (cannot be). God is the sole reality, and what is real always denies its opposite.

God is Light, not darkness. Bring darkness to light and the light will reveal the darkness, and what I thought was hidden in it is not there; not my reality. When light enters darkness the darkness is abolished. In similar manner, God is everything, and everything and nothing cannot coexist. The truth of one (God, Light, Everything) must make the falsity of its opposite ("Satan, darkness, nothing") perfectly unambiguous.

God Is. God is Love. The opposite of love is fear: yet What (God) is all encompassing can have no opposite. Love creates Itself and nothing but Itself. It is impossible for Love to create evil, and to do so would render God as capable of denying and opposing Himself: Impossible!

In regards to the trinity: The trinity in its Oneness transcends the sum of its parts.

Peace.

God Is

Two elderly neighbors that shows narcissistic control at me, especially the man. This is one of my most painful experiences. Nowhere to go. Please pray the LORD rescues me.

Please pray. I'm depressed - mostly because of evil situation - family relationships. How long, God? I'm at the end of myself. Something to lift me this evening, because I'm very low, my thoughts are so painful. Pressure at all sides. I'm in of the greatest despair of my life. I need a friend. Please pray I don't give up.

Praise the Lord sisters, surely I will pray for you and God will use you mightily in yr own places. Our Jesus is very mighty God.

First we have to start preaching to our family members and relatives, neighbours, workers, vegetable and fruit sellers, then Jesus will guide us how to go out to preach. These are all very last days, we can see devil is acting very actively through people and raping even new born baby and raping, killing, even 102 years old lady raped recently in India through 20 years olds. Very scary, preaching gospel also we can preach one person a day but sitting at home and praying for lakhs of peoples God will do wonders. Pl pray on yr knees and raising yr right hand on sky and pray, devil will run away. Pl think and see in world how many rape cases, murders, suicides, dowry deaths, accidents, hungry deaths are happening per day, lakhs of people are dying. As a Christian and God's children don't we need to pray and cry out to jesus, god will hear all his children's prayer and immediate reduction of cases we can see beloved sisters and brothers. Jesus gave us everything like wealth, happiness, peace not just we live in sleepy life atleast to bend down our knees and pray to in God's presence with whole heartedly. While iam writting this iam crying. Do you know how many crores of people sleeping without food night times. Pl pl pl pray every one for world sake, let us cut down our social life or spending our full time for our families, let us pray for poor people. Jesus loves poor people so whoever his believers help to poor he will delighted in his heart and immediately he will give us peace and happiness. Doing businesses and offices for spending too many hours there won't be any peace but spending half a hour prayer will give you full of happiness. Yr sister Sandhya

Praise the Lord sisters, surely I will pray for you and God will use you mightily in yr own places. Our Jesus is very mighty God.

Please pray for my young son Gabriel, who is living with his mother in Portugal. Pray for his safe keeping, salvation and that I might get to meet him soon.

You're welcome Gigi.

The emphasis of grace and the grafting in of the Gentiles is all through the old testament in types and allegorically. Even in the articles inside the tabernacle such as "The written commandments, manna, Arons rod that budded, and what overshadowed them was the mercy seat.

The Promises included them also.

Genesis 12:1-3

also the Ingathering, Shavu'ot, and Pentecost ( Exo 34:22; Num 28:26; Deu 16:10,16; Lev 23:15-20).

It's a great study.

God bless

I would luv to hear from all. Am I understood?

Mike Gyver, about the division of the waters during the Creation time, where the Warters were placed above "heaven" is speaking of our water in the sky, which is basically a lot. He had it in a great place of early time. If you read in the Genesis, it says it did not rain, but had due to water the plants. When the flood of Noah's time came, God opened the gates and let the water come back to Earth as the Flood. After this went by, God set in evaporation to gradually send the waters into the atmosphere in the form of clouds. Then is when rain began. It is a gradual pace over the Earth, so there will never be another Flood of the sots in Noah's time. We do have floods dome of the time, on some of the Earth, but not all at once. People cause the floods by turning away from God. Just as with droughts and storms. When people start obeying God in life, He blesses us with good weather.

Thank you I was not aware of this. The queen is the perfect example of benevolence. If America can learn anything, it might consider Her example in the leadership ii needs to move ahead in the future.

ST. MATTHEW 5:7, was the first verse that I learned from the Bible. I was a Pastor's and Pastor's wife, son and Most people learned ST. JOHN 3:16 first, I didn't.

Thanks for the effort in gathering these scriptures. Jesus is Lord and blessed by God Almighty. By his grace and mercy through faith I am saved and nothing can change that.

Some questions have no simple answer or specific scripture that clarifies the infinite, eternal God. Any question that speaks of the relationship between God the Father, Jesus the Christ and Holy Spirit cannot be easy. I have a mind, heart and spirit that longs to worship God with all my strength. I believe this is one of the ways that God created us in his image.

In this respect, God has separated us into 3 distinct personalities. Physical, mental and spiritual.

I am not sure why I put that question to the typewriter since we all must ponder the Holy Trinity of God during prayer, reading of the scripture and indeed day to day hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and feeling his presence.

Again, thanks for the effort.

Love in the brotherhood of Christ.

I rarely get replies to my posts. I love to hear replies such as yours. God bless you, I will read the words of the last supper. Thank you once again ,I thought if I ask questions I could learn more from others!

So soon after her visit with the new p.m.. two days after. I have become so suspicious and sceptical of people . Perhaps , these thoughts I have are from the evil one and not the holy spirit. Our world is in chaos, again are these .thoughts motivated by what is seen a.nd heard. Thank you for your response. God bless.
