Is this Isaia 53 ;3 is from new Testament?

Dear Sonya, isn't there a women's program that will hide you and your little girl? They or someone might contact the cops about his abuse, stalking, child molestation, etc.

Trust in the Lord.

Gerry this is a metaphor . Birds , usually the females but some males also , will shield their young under their outspread wings . This may be done to protect them from the very hot sun or to keep the chicks warm or to shield them from the sight of flying predators that can easily snatch up a young chick . The Bible is full of metaphors that often pertain to farming or wildlife . This is because the people of the time would understand these metaphors quickly and easily as they often lived lives around farming and livestock . Many of us are not knowledgeable about these things any more as we live city based lives .

Fascinating post thankyou .

Oh Sonja I'm so sorry for you , please don't give up hope . You must get someone in authority to listen to you . You need practical help . God sees you He knows what you are going through . Dear Heavenly Father please keep Sonja and her daughter safe please bless them as you know they need your blessings please send them a helper in this world an angel to guide and stand up for them . Through Jesus Christ our Saviour I ask you for these things for Sonja if it is Your Will Great God Almighty . Amen.

Of course the soul must die ! How can death be a punishment if our soul , which is us , doesn't die ?

That's what I believe also Jeff and I think that the 1000 year reign of Christ on earth is the true Sabbath . One day is as a thousand years to God and this earth will be a very different place to what it is now when Christ is here . People will not be in charge ! That's got to be a great society that will be a pleasure to live in .

It's a metaphor . In ancient times many people's all over the world lived in what we now call gated communities . They lived in towns that were surrounded by walls and had one or maybe two entrances through a gate that was often guarded . This was for safety , they would leave these towns to work the land etc and come home to them at the end of their working days . The Bible is full of metaphors , sometimes these metaphors are also meant literally , it can take a while to get to grips with these things but the more you read the more you will get it .

Great answer thank you that was helpful and clear .

I believe the kingdom of heaven in this instance refers to the land of Israel and the people living in it at that time who were under Roman occupation .

Hello Texsis, I am happy i can share with you.

your first question:

It all about what the Bible says.

So we have the same punishment for sin. ref Romans 6:23-for the wages of SIN is death... this means sin is sin and it has the same punishment. Remember even in the garden off Eden as Adam and Eve ate of the tree of good and evil God pre warned that the day they eat from that tree they will surely die.

."

James 2:10-11. when we break one part of the law it deemed as breaking the whole law. Death has always been the punishment but we have consequences of our sins. ref: 1 John 5:17 "All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death

your second question:

well i haven't come across the exact word you used LIE-MURDERER but 1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

when you hate your brother you CAN lie about him also.

i will remember your son in prayers too. Amen

Who has deeper revelation on Apostle Paul's submission on women in 1Timothy 2

Exquisite.

I am on a study research praying god open's my understanding of the what transpired from the stories in bible especially from the old testament. i will need a lot of knowledge to compile and use for teaching one day when i come across people with stiff hearts and people with soft hearts. the purpose is to link whatever story that happened from genesis to the result of what we have today in other words "causes and effect". kindly help me !

in todays world many people don't support slavery because of it consequencies. having the love that christ also showed us won't make us make another man or woman a slave to us even if we had the power to except by perversion.

que 1. why was slavery normal in the bible?

que 2. why was slavery perfectly fine in the bible?

que 3. what are the etymology of bondservants, servants and slaves from the hebrew to english

que 4. is que 3 use interchangebly or translated wrongly in the bible? because the slave word sound more harshly than servants.

thank you.

The Bible speaks of having Gates in Heaven, Why do you think that we will have Gates in Heaven, think about it

Hi Patricia. On the surface Matthew 11:12 can seem confusing until we understand its context & noting, that "kingdom of Heaven" doesn't denote Heaven itself, but the events & people that were revealing it.

So, when we look at the chapter, Jesus was speaking about John the Baptist (vv 1-11). Before John's coming & ministry, the status quo remained (i.e. the Jewish people did their thing, the non-Jews were segregated & looked down upon, & the religious leaders had full sway over the domestic & religious lives of the people) - all was peaceful, except of course that they were governed by Rome.

But when John the Baptist appeared & began baptizing for repentance, he caused a stir amongst the religious leaders & the people who began listening to John, & many were being baptized. And then Jesus came on the scene and you know the stir that He caused by His Teaching & Miracles. So, I understand Matthew 11:12, as revealing what was taking place among the Jews since the coming of John (& Jesus): an increasing shift by many towards this new thing being said & done, which in most cases, opposed the teachings & commands of the religious leaders.

The "kingdom of heaven suffereth violence" (not in Heaven itself, but people now pressing against it when once before they were ignorant to such Truths) - "and the violent take it by force" (speaking of those, maybe only a few, convinced of what they were seeing & now leaving behind pharisaical laws & burdens, & grabbing onto the true teachings of the Kingdom). This was a momentous time in the presentation of the Son of God & the soon-to-be irrelevance of the Law & religious trappings - that at the Cross, people could have a heart change, a new Spirit infill us, & an High Priest who could identify with us & give us His Peace & Comfort, which could never be achieved under the Old Covenant.

In Revelation 2:20, Jesus says: "Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols."

The author(s) of 1st Corinthians 8 are teaching that Christians are at liberty to sit at meat in the temple of an idol.

In Acts Chapter 15 the Holy Ghost, the Apostles, the elders, and all the brethren (including Paul) were in agreement that even Gentile Christians should abstain from eating meats offered to idols.

Acts 16:4-5 says the churches were established among the Gentiles based on the decree that Paul and his companions preached (that Gentile Christians must abstain from pollutions of idols).

I agree with you Glenys that the Hebrew word for the references you gave, show that 'copper or bronze' was the intended meaning. Why the KJV translators opted for 'steel', I wouldn't know nor even hazard a guess. However, from a little research, it seems that steel (maybe in it very primitive form) was found from excavations at an archaeological site in Anatolia (now in Turkey), and that was dated from 1800 BC (about 3800 yrs ago). Yet, this knowledge shouldn't have allowed for a word change.

Hi Sariah.

Just to add to what has already been shared. I there may have been other temples built in diverse locations but what is recognized as the Jewish temple of God had to be built in its appointed location.

Deuteronomy 12:1-11.

There was only two.

God bless.

Matthew 11:12 --- Violence in heaven puzzles me. We think of it as peaceful perfection.

Hi Gerry.

As Brother Chris mentioned the eagle represented a wonderful metaphor just like here in John you see a whole chapter of metaphors.

John 15:1-5 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

These metaphors throughout the bible gives us a clear picture of the intent.

God bless.

Hello Adam!

Appreciate your reply back, I don't know the scripture by heart but I do know it says that when he returns and he brings all his saints and his angels that Every Eye will see him. And plus I understand at the end of the Armageddon the world is not destroyed until after the millennium. That may explain when he talks about the lion and the Lamb lying down together and the little child put his hand in the viper nest.

He says also in scripture (I cannot quote the verse yet but I will definitely look for it) that the world will be at peace for 1000 years. Which I believe based on what I've been listening to (David Jeremiah ) in reading that all the animals of all kinds Will be at peace with people plus that explains I think when it talks about the child and vipers nest during the 1000 years, I think people will still be on earth and live and die and have children.

But everything will be at peace and seek will be locked up for 1000 years.

I will study And find the Scriptures that support or indicates a possibility that the answer is yes and let you know.

Thanks!

Hi Larry B.

The Ezekiel reference is future. "It's during the Millennium " Ezekiel is seeing a vision as Ezekiel 40:1-2 says.

But let's set that aside and be direct with one another. Your aim is to fight anyone who claims Israel exist. Atleast that's what your original post seems to say. I've sent you several verses where God says his promises depends himself and his honor as a father to them and not their obedience. God is not a liar and he doesn't make promises that he don't see through and when he promised to Abraham he promised by himself. Hebrews 6:13-18.

LISTEN TO THE LORD ASSURANCE TO THEIR EXISTENCE.

Jeremiah 31:35-36. Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:

If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THE SUN AND THE MOON STILL SHINES!

VERSE 37 GIVES ASSURANCE IN A WAY THAT IT CONTRADICT YOU DIRECTLY.

Jeremiah 31:37. Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel FOR ALL THAT THEY HAVE DONE, saith the LORD.

GOD SAYS IF YOU CAN MEASURE HEAVEN AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH SEARCHED OUT BENEATH HE WILL CUT OUT THE SEED OF ISRAEL FOR ALL THE WRONG THEY HAVE DONE!!!

ARE YOU SAYING HE'S LYING?

Larry B you may not have to like Israel but you should be glad to see they still exist because if God's word and promises can't be trusted then we have no hope.

God bless.

The Pastor is WRONG, and the Bible does support the death of the soul,,,it's called the second death, at the Great White Throne Judgement if thou hath not repented and come to the Lord, thou shall perish.

They are cast into the lake of fire, for God IS that lake of fire

DEUTERONOMY 4:24 (For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.)

PSALMS 37:13 But the lawless shall perish, And the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

What happens to the fat when it drips onto the coals in a BBQ?

DEUTERONOMY 4:24 (For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.)

20 And the beast was arrested, and with him the false prophet that did the signs before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone

The Son of Perdition means liable to Die, He's the only one sentenced to DEATH thus far, but many follow him into the lake, whereby they die.

I need prayers for healing I have a knot on the top of my head & I told the doctor but he doesn't know what it is & didn't do anything, my hair is falling out especially on that knot & I have a bald spot there that I have to try to hide. The knot is getting bigger. I also need healing for my other health problems. I desperately need prayers for me & my little girl, we are trying to escape my abusive estranged husband the authorities haven't done anything to help us & he touched our little girl & tried to end my life in front of her just before that. We are afraid of him & he walks around free & calls us & threatens me & stalks us somehow he knows exactly where we are & what we are doing. My own mother is on his side , I don't know how or what he has said to her but she is using the land that my grandparents wanted me to have against me saying that she will give me my inheritance back if he lives with us. The monster who abused, raped me , constantly cheated on me , broke my nose & injured me multiple times & tried to take my life, & touched my little girl & I do mean sexually & the fact my mother knows this & is trying to force us to return to him & live with him. We desperately need prayers that something is finally done to him & that he is finally punished & that he is stopped & finally dealt with. Please pray that he is put where he belongs. Please pray for a financial blessing for me & my little girl to help us be able to survive on our on. Please please pray that we are safe & protected from him & that we aren't forced to live with him or have him set foot as free man anywhere near us or in any place we live or stay. Please pray that my mom will give me & my little girl the land & that she will not sell it at all or try to use it to make us take him back into our lives. Please pray for us. We living looking over our shoulders & afraid & no money because he disabled me & I don't get much in my disability each month, it's not even enough to afford a place

I would love to know the verse in the KJV that speaks of "sin is sin in Gods eyes". a lie being judged the same as a murderer,? can anyone help me with that and pray for my son to be a stronger believer.

children of disobedience is an Hebraism : not disobedient children, but sons of Satan in a special manner, being those in whom he works, and on whom the wrath of God comes.

So if you are of the Bloodline of Cain, who is the seed of Satan. you are said children.

Also if you are not of the Tree of Life, but are of the Tree of Good and Evil, you are said children

It is not my duty to name the scripture, but copy paste works wonders.

Yes, there will be wars is exactly the psychological war that takes place IN YOUR MIND, which in the Bible is coded as Heaven and Earth, the Body.

"God is love but satan is evil" ? But God himself says... Isaiah 45:7

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

and again... Romans 13:1

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."

So it appears that what we have been TOLD is not exactly true. Like so many things

Once you search out all the Dogmas and... Matthew 15:9

"But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

Let me enlighten you, when you battle each one of your beliefs that were bred and pounded into you, and you come to the Water of Truth within yourself... You will know all the monsters John the Revelator was talking about. That is the Battle. But once the MIND is renewed, the veil comes off the heart. 2 Corinthians 3:16

Christ in you, the hope of glory.

You're correct Gerry, Almighty God doesn't have wings. But we do see instances of this metaphor being used, as in Psalm 91:1-4. We see it Psalm 17:8, Psalm 36:7, Psalm 61:4, Psalm 63:7 (Psalms of David); Deuteronomy 32:11,12; Malachi 4:2; and maybe others.

As you look at these references, you will notice how the writers viewed the all-shadowing, all-protecting God over them. They might have considered the eagle gliding onto her nest with outstretched wings, and then when another bird of prey appeared to attempt an attack on the young, the mother eagle covered them with her wings - for protection & to keep them out of view. For that time in history, I think that the eagle represented a wonderful metaphor of God's concern & care to those who feared Him.

Bruce. Biblically speaking when a Christian dies His Holy Spirit. Goes back to God

Who gave it and the body decomposes and his soul which is breath life I.E. when

You take your last breath that is the end of soul life. Now an unbeliever is just

Body and soul so when they die I.E. from dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return then also they are their last breath and that's the end of soul life. The

Confusion in this area of scripture is there are those that believe that spirit and

Soul are the same and they are not. Also that a human is born with spirit and it gets

Regenerated not correct, man lost his spiritual connection with God in Genesis.

Now biblically there is hell or Sheol the grave then there is hell the gehenna which

Is eternal damnation for all unbelievers, so for us born again does not apply also

For the just it does not apply.
