    Hiya Don GBU But we have to remember that Israel was Sola Scriptura....Caring more about the written word then the Holy Spirit THE CONTENTS OF THEIR HEARTS WAS NOT IMPORTANT....Israel stoned almost every Prophet that God sent them and Rejected the Christ...Thats the result of written words of God without the H.G....As 2 Cor. 3:6 tells us..

    .....He has made us able ministers of the NEW Testament....The LIVING WORDS OF GOD....Not of the letter that killeth but of the Spirit that giveth Life.....Its The Living words of God that are the good seeds that initiate THAT NEW BIRTH of Christ in us...Not the written words....If the written words cd have brought us salvation then the living Word Christ Jesus shed his blood in vain and the Cross was just foolishness.

    .....Mary was not impregnated by written words...But by the living of Word God Almighty made flesh and blood....Search the scriptures ( the written words ) in them you think you have eternal life but it is them that testify of me...The HG. THE LIVING WORD...Jesus said my words are spirit and life and Peter says where shall we go lord thou has the words of eternal.Life...But There is no eternal life in paper and ink....Eternal life is only in his WORDS....As Peter says Which are spirit and life....Gbu Don

    The blessing of having Jesus as our brother and being one with him. Hebrews 2:11,12 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

    Dear Jo Ann Anderson, I think she needs prayer and a doctor. God heals by His supernatural touch and uses means to answer our prayers.

    You are so right Chris. I only hope that a great many Catholics will be saved after the Rapture of the true Body of Christ to Heaven. They will see - hopefully, once and for all - that they have been deceived by the Roman religion and will finally cling to Christ alone for their salvation. May the good Lord open their eyes, as He did for me, that they will flee from the bondage of the papal system and put their complete trust in the King of kings and the Lord of lords and His free gospel of grace.
  • Luke - In Reply - 2 years ago
    "Bowl Judgements" or The Plagues of Exodus ? the answer here is yes to both, but much of what is written won't come into spiritual fulfillment until that time of 666 when the anti-christ appears on the scene first

    All five trumpets are sounding, their bowls/vials are being poured out but won't come into spiritual completion until 666.

    The first plague of Exodus began IMO at the releasing of the corona virus which is a warning to us as was to Egypt.

    The 2nd plague coming will be another warning from God, but the 3rd will not be. Luke!

    I believe , and in fact know for certain , that many people use the accusation of 'they are possessed ' or they are of the devil or they are evil etc against people for their own purposes . I have known of people who have beaten tortured murdered people under the guise of exorcising evil spirits from them . They have used this accusation to ostracise people from churches families friends etc . This in itself is a very great evil . Anyone who does this to another human being is in very big trouble .

    Just like me , Jesus didn't read any commentaries . They are an invention of man not God . If you are diligent determined and persistent in your Bible reading you will enjoy the benefits of your patience as things slowly reveal themselves to you . Jesus just had the scriptures , what we call the Old Testament . Once you've read the old a few times , when you read the New , you will recognise how often Jesus refers back to them , it's a lot !

    Dear Kingdom of Heaven. U have right, and the translator takes liberties. In my translation it says Love. And For many years I thought that love should be cold in most people. And tried to look at it more closely, love.

    We can have nothing unless the Lord gives it to us, then everything must come according to His will. Therefore another key thing is He loved us first so that we can love sincerely, honestly, He righteously back. We can give Overmoistening love becouse Lord Jesus loved us first. Stay strong in the word of God.

    Jesus loves u, i in Christ. Acts 19

    To Sunita;

    I wondered about that also. But God seems to have blesses their union although she was not of the tribe of Israel.

    GOD's hand is on all who follows HIS Word.

    May the LORD bless all on this forum.

    Praying for our nations leaders, may they seek the wisdom of GOD as Joseph did.

  • GiGi again on Exodus 33 - 2 years ago
    Exodus 33 continued...

    The people were deeply dismayed that YHWH was not going to "tabernacle" among them on this journey. They may have thought that the God who delivered them from slavery in Egypt would be "afar off" now because of their idolatry. How little they understood of YHWH at this time. The Angel would be YHWH's Representative among the people, the Mediator between His sinful people and Himself. Here we may have a statement concerning the role of the Son of God, pre-incarnate. He is eternally the Mediator between God and Man. Otherwise, there would be no interactions between the Father and humanity other than judgment. But we do not know for sure if this Angel was, indeed, the Son of God.

    The sinfulness of these people who had consecrated themselves to YHWH required a "go-between". Let us remind ourselves how serious sin is to God. We cannot approach Him without a Mediator, and that Mediator is only Jesus. YHWH stepped out of the people He had saved as an act of mercy and grace to prevent them being consumed by Him.

    It says that the people mourned and did not put on their ornaments, as YHWH had instructed them to do, thus showing repentance. I do not know what these ornaments were; perhaps jewelry from the Egyptians. These ornaments would remind them of their sin of idolatry because the calf was made of such ornamentation. They stripped themselves of any such self-adornment. They instead took the dress of one who is penitent, remorseful, in mourning. There, at Mt. Sinai, otherwise known as Horeb, where the Decalogue was given, and the people were soon rebellious against it, they stripped themselves of what was valuable to them in the carnal way, and then turned from wearing them again. They did not put these ornaments back on.

    We would be wise to do likewise. when we confess our sin to Jesus, we are to do so with repentance, with the intent of not returning to these sins, divesting ourselves of all that entangles us in sin, avoiding such snares.
  • Chris - In Reply on Acts 20 - 2 years ago
    All the ones you mentioned, Donna, are good commentaries and I would add, Benson and Barnes into your list as well. But as in all commentaries, they only give a person's understanding of the Scriptures, albeit by very studied men, so as helpful as they might be, our only resort should be to the Holy Scriptures & for the Spirit's enlightening. And as an aside, I've noticed that sometimes these commentators actually copy information from each other! Having a good Lexicon (Hebrew & Greek - available online) is also very useful to better understand where our English translations are coming from.
  • Chris - In Reply on Genesis 2 - 2 years ago
    Hi Patrick. Sarah, in the Book of Genesis, was Abraham's wife. Actually, her name was Sarai (& Abraham was first known as Abram) & she was probably from the same region that Abram, his father Terah, & brothers Nahor & Haran, were from. This was a Gentile, pagan area, though we're not sure of the spiritual condition of these men at that time.

    In Genesis 11:27 onwards, you can read of Sarai becoming Abram's wife, but she was infertile. And you can read their story from here on, but then in Genesis chapter 17, God establishes a covenant with Abram, that he would be a father of many nations, and that he would now be called, Abraham. As for Sarai, her name became Sarah, for she would be the mother of nations & kings of people would come from her (v16).
  • Chris - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hi Stacie. The questions you ask require much input, but I would firstly direct you to 1 Peter chapter 1 for your meditation. And especially verses 1 & 2, where the Apostle Peter writes to the believers in Asia Minor as to why God has caused them to be part of the Elect (or, chosen) of God.

    They were not chosen randomly, some to be saved & others rejected, but chosen because of what God knew about them. God knew even before we were born, how our lives would pan out, our younger years, our careers, our struggles in life & even the day of our death. So they, & us, are the chosen of God because of His Foreknowledge (He is an Omniscient God): knowledge of how we will respond to Him & the Gospel. And Peter says that this foreknowledge of God involved the sinner being cleansed by Christ's shed Blood at Calvary & the sanctifying (setting apart) Work of the Holy Spirit. So knowing all this, there are certain people who have been ordained to receive God's Salvation & others who are not. And God also knew the ones who would not receive salvation because He knew they would reject the Gospel, or if they never heard it, they would still never accept Christ. The ones that God knows will belong to Him, will all come to Him - none will be rejected, as if to catch God by surprise. And Peter then gives these chosen ones the assurance in verses 4 & 5: those who are Christ's, have an incorruptible inheritance reserved in Heaven & while we're still on Earth, we will be kept secure in our salvation by "the power of God through faith" when salvation's full work is completed "in the last time (the day when we see Jesus & be with Him forever)".

    So, those who are truly God's children (born again by His Spirit), will lead careful holy lives (see the rest of that chapter on this) - we can't, nay, can never fool around with God by leading double lives. It only proves we never belonged to God. Many believe in God, even as the devils do & tremble ( James 2:19), but that belief won't save them.

  • Chris - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hi Marsha. There are many verses that speak of, or allude, to the Triunity of God, i.e. God manifesting Himself to us in three Persons. But if you're looking for a single verse, then 1 John 5:7 fits the bill: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." Of course, the Word given here is Jesus, Who is the Word of God made flesh for the suffering of death ( John 1:1-14; Revelation 19:11-13).
  • Chris - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Thank you brother Jesse for those further thoughts on this important doctrine of God's Grace showered upon sinful man, through Jesus His Son.

    True biblical Christianity stands well apart from any religion, even so-called Christian sects & cults, that require their adherents to attain some standard of good works or level of sanctification, to be acceptable to God. None can ever hope to reach the high standards that God would require - and God knowing this, stepped into this World, offering up Himself as the only payment & hope of mankind. How we would grieve the Spirit of God, if we should even contemplate adding our own efforts to secure that salvation that was well beyond our reach. And yet, when the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in the believer, not only our security in salvation is assured, but our lives & our works will be done and seen in demonstration of the Spirit's Power. That the Glory of God might be seen in His unfathomable Plan to save us and His great Power & Love exuding from His children. May we be circumspect in our daily walk, giving no cause to the unsaved around us to despise our Gracious Lord. Every blessing to you & brother Henry for your contributions; as you can see, I'm very passionate with this subject.

  • Chris - In Reply on Revelation 17 - 2 years ago
    Amen Steve. Roman Catholicism has sufficiently perverted the Truth & ensnared it's adherents for too long leaving most incapable, even unwilling, to break free.

    That the papacy in recent times permitted the laity to read the Scriptures for themselves, when only the clerics were once empowered to read & give understanding to it, was an important event to the freeing of many. No doubt many are now hearing from God's Word as 'thus saith the Lord ' and not, 'thus saith the Church '. That Christ is sacrificed at every Mass would rank very high on the list of RC abominations. But God is able to set many free as they consider the true state of their souls.
