How many "Gifts Of The Spirit" are there? In First Corinthians...Chapter 12...Verses 8 - 10...I only count 8. Or is there 9 ?

Thanks so much!

Lynne,

Another comment : Notice, Jesus was speaking to people who called themselves son's of Abraham, putting themselves as heirs to salvation. Genesis 22:18, Luke 16:14, in Luke 16:24-25, then Luke 16:27-31, there's many things Jesus is saying here. He's pointing out Salvation isn't sealed in birthright.

Nor those who think because they should be allowed in but live cruelly towards others: Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 7,

He's also pointing to his own resurrection. Luke 16:31, & prophecying their denial of him even after that prophecy is fulfilled.

Notice also: John 3:12, Isaiah 55:9,

Hopefully these are also helpful

Hello Hanna,

1Kings 2,

Why did Solomon have Adonijah put death?

1st because Adonijah asked Solomon's mother to conspire to do an unlawful act, trying to get Solomon also to be part of breaking GOD's law. 1Kings 2:13-21, The law: Leviticus 18:8, Leviticus 20:11,

2nd Treason, I believe Solomon saw this as an act of Treason, also punishable by death even by law today. Please see 2Kings 2:22, Adonijah had already tried to take the kingdom from Solomon: 1Kings 1,

David was promised that his son Solomon was to reign as king after him & that Solomon was going to build the temple for GOD. This was known: 1Chronicles 28:5, 1Chronicles 22:5-9, note: 1Chronicles 22:17, "all the princes of Israel" 1Chronicles 29:1, please read all of Chapter, 1Chronicles 22. & 1Chronicles 28,

Note: 1Chronicles 29:22

3rd the curse, was Adonijah trying to curse Solomon, his Father's household & Israel? Leviticus 20:9, Deuteronomy 11:27-28,

Hopefully these are helpful

King David had promised Solomon would be king upon his death. See 2 Samuel 15. King David made the promise to Bathsheba. Adonijah attempts to have himself anointed king trying to usurp the right of Solomon. That is why Solomon is not invited to the feast. He clearly understood his actions. This action suggests that he is someone who will cause great problems for Solomon in the future. Solomon forgives him provided he would abide by the restrictions. Solomon told him he would allow him to live if he showed himself to be a worthy man. However, after the death of King David, Adonijah goes to Bathsheba asking for Abishag from David's harem which could be seen as an affront to Solomon's authority. In first Kings chapter 2 you will see that Solomon obviously understood this. He would always have conflict throughout his reign as king if he did not settle the problem of Adonijah

God's view through these verses seems clear. Does it seem clear to you?

Phyllis,

Thank you.

Sometimes I feel led to answer a question or reply for others who will read the response, seeking answers.

May The truth of GOD, always prevail above all of our own words.

Sometimes I feel led to wait to respond, like on this delayed reply. I don't necessarily remember a discussion in these pages with "Ken". I also didn't want to be appearing as gloating over. I also didn't want you to feel I hadn't received & welcomed your kind words, encouragement & well needed affirmation.

Yes, you're correct. There are some who seemingly have their mind & hearts determined on their own outcome & seek validation. This site I pray will be full of GOD's truth, HIS HOLY Words & HIS Words prevail! I pray GOD keeps us from our own sinful decisions & pursuits.

Psalms 10:3, Ephesians 4:17-32,

Psalms 21:2, Psalms 19:14,

Again, Thank you

Kindest regards

Your doctrine is correct. I understand only what the holy spirit is directing me in. The complexity of. Scripture should move us to learn more.i believe that allowing the spirit to move through us in his particular way will draw the gospel into his children. Though not scriptural in its words , can it still be taught this way? Please correct me according to scripture. I trust you understand my meaning while considering your presentation of the word! Another word is I am not preaching the law and gospel. Nor preaching like Billy Graham. What do you think Alex? Help me out, perhaps I am speaking in a tongue? These are the last days!

Shaa rei thanks for your reply and comment...GBU in Jesus name...Remain blessed in Jesus name Shaa rei....Let the H.G. be forever in this forum. To teach us and guide us...Amen

Hi Lynne,

There have been many discussions about this. People differ in opinion. James 1:5, I ask you pray for wisdom & discernment of truth.

Why do you ask, this question like this?

1st we have Luke 16,

Then we have Paradise mentioned 3 times, in: Luke 23:39-46, 2Corinthians 12:2-4, Revelation 2:7,

Out of the Grave: Ezekiel 37:12,13, Matthew 27:52,53, John 5:28,

Judgement : Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 7, Romans 14:12, 1Peter 4:1-5, Matthew 12:36,

Jesus being the 1st born: Romans 8:29-39,

Again the rapture takes place before the tribulation you just won't b there

Why did Solomon have Adonijah killed? I don't understand that.

The saints do suffer tribulation

Please read Matthew 24, & Mark 13, Jesus' words : Matthew 24:4 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you" ._.._.._.. Matthew 24:7-9, "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilence, and earthquakes, in diverse places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my names sake." ._..

Matthew 24:13 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." ._.._

Matthew 24:21-22 "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."

And except those days should be shortened, there shall no flesh saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." ._._._.

Matthew 24:29-30 "immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken:

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."

Also repeated in Mark 13,

Deuteronomy 4:30

Matthew 13:20-21

John 16:33

Acts 14:22

1Thessalonians 3:4,

Hopefully these are helpful in you study of the Word

Christ Jesus came one time to preach, teach and to fulfill the New Covenant with his Blood. Take take away our sins by taking all those to the Cross with Him. In rising from the dead or ascending people sometimes say "well...that was going away and coming back." I say they don't really believe. He never left us then. Never did. He fulfilled it (it is finished), rose from the grave after 3-days of fulfillment in an other respect and ascended in the first chapter of Acts to give His Holy Spirit to all. That was all one time. He wasn't going and coming back as he stated he'd never leave nor forsake us - which is a promise He's always kept.

Now, the rapture Christ comes to take the church before the tribulation and or 'hour of temptation' as I've read in Revelation. He states very clearly that the church was never intended to see or go through the rapture. That's not John Darby or movement -- it's been believed and known since the early church.

After all events of the tribulation have taken place and the 7-years draws to an end; Christ Jesus is coming back. Which is the 2nd coming.

This shouldn't be taught as derogative. These are all three prophetic events. Christ Jesus coming as the Messiah was prophesied long before it happened and people weren't counting it as a number. But, it happened at a point in which the Father declared it was so. The same will be of the rapture (the falling away and are signs that this is nigh)

Matthew 24, Mark 13,

Hopefully these are helpful too

The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion. I know that wherever evil is, it will not even put up a fight once confronted with God's true goodness. On the other hand, God's forces can never surrender. Amen

1 st Cor. 12 : 13... For by 1 SPIRIT are we all baptised into the body of Christ whether we be Jew or Gentile.. Bond or Free thus there are not 2 gospels. only 1 gospel simply b/c there is only 1 bridegroom...only 1 kingdom, 1 baptism . 1 lord etc...1 Faith 1 SPIRIT.

......Only 1 new covenant.... Gal. 3 : 28 ....In Christ Jesus there is no Jew or Gentile no Male or Female...WE are all the same in Christ Jesus.....same same....Under this new covenant God does not SEE Gender...Male or female we all must birth Christ in our hearts...lives

..... Matthew 5 : 45....He makes his rain and his sun to shine on every person....Good or Bad...Therefore God is no respector of persons...Thats y Jesus said if i be lifted up i will draw ALL men unto me...Thus he will truly pour out of his SPIRIT on all flesh Joel 2 :28 kjv

First of all; Hebrews 9:28 is the only verse I know which mentions Christ coming with the specific words "second time" where it seems there to indicate coming for the saints (i.e. Resurrection and Rapture). When we look at 2 Peter 3:10-12; we see the "Day of the Lord" as an abbreviated framework; apparently stretching from the onset in the beginning of the Tribulation through the Millennium period and to the day the "elements are melted with great heat." (the new heaven and new earth established). Thus; it is apparent that there are different phases to the "Second Coming" which would make more than one event to be encapsulated in that whole period of time. 1 Cor. 15:20 shows this application in regard to the "firstfruits." Christ was the first part of the "Body" of Christ to be Resurrected; and some apparently came out of their graves at that time. Then there are those saints of the N.T. and the O.T. as well as the 144,000 given this designation as well in Revelation.

The trumpet sound may or may not be recognized by those who remain on the earth. The resurrection of the saints; however will be undeniable. Once the "restrainer" in 2 Thess. 2:6 is removed (i.e. the Spirit as is currently operating in the church age of grace); then the series of events occurs until Christ PHYSICALLY returns to defeat Antichrist and split open the Mount of Olives (see Revelation 19; Zech. 14:4). He is seen even as soon as the 6th Seal Judgment; with victory being declared as a "done deal" as well as His wrath being evident well before the end of the 7 years.

It would seem that at the end of the Millennium; the heavenly city descends and essentially God the Father comes down in 1 Cor. 15:24-28 after the Son rules on earth in the 1000 year reign. So in a sense that is the "1st coming of the Father" to earth.

There are evidently Resurrections in the Tribulation of the 2 witnesses; perhaps others. At the end a few are still physically alive. Only one Rapture.

Alex N. Remain blessed in our LORD JESUS. I thank our Father who made All things.

but those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint amen

Would you liken what you have described to John three. When our LORD speaks to Nicodemus of born again to see, Uriah, and born again to be entered in David, CHRIST THE KING.

could Bathesheba's husbands also be likened to Simon Peter, how the foundation of the bride is built on him. Can you see the parable showing Simon Peter is Uriah, and Cephas the Rock, who Simon Peter becomes, David, depicts CHRIST JESUS , the chief cornerstone

There are many more I am sure. Two sons show this , as in Ishmael and Issac. One is promise born free. David. The other promise born in bondage Uriah

Two women with babies, David shows one is a slave to sin, the other free in truth

I could write all night.

I thank our Father for your comment. Thank You JESUS for great and mighty things that we could not know without You. Indeed with You all things are possible, Hallelujah , Glory to You Father GOD forever and ever. Holy Spirit You are most welcome in this place.

The LORD be magnified

Fred interesting post but lemme give ya my take on an Intimacy. Its strickly the result of the bridegroom and his Voice his Words which are his Seeds...Even in the natural conversation is intercourse the ultimate Intimacy produces a Child of PROMISE the H.G. Thats what this NEW Covenant IS an Intimacy with Christ via his seed his voice,..Today if you will hear his voice His Words which are his seeds...Harden not your hearts,.. Jesus said your hearts is the good ground where that good seed will be sown

.....The Father said i will KNOW them ALL from the least to the greatest...An intimacy with humanity via hearing his words his seeds The contents of the book in the fathers right hand ...Intiating a heavenly birth...Thus the Children of PROMISE that are gonna be as the Stars of Heaven and we are the recipitants of these heavenly Children...Unless ya receive the Kingdom as a lil Child. ..They are the result of his seed that spritual Intimacy with Christ the bridegroom the sower of that good seed.

....There has to be an Intimacy with Christ meaning he has to KNOW US....Thats when that good seed is sown in our hearts initiating a birth of Christ in us the H.G. that Child of Promise...The Son of MAN..The result of the seed of the Bridegoom the Words of God...The Good seed is gonna be sow in our hearts...Thats when the hyman of our hearts is broken..The Untimate INTIMACY..That New COVENANT....I will KNOW them ALL Jer. 31 :34 .. ..Thats when Jeremiah saw all men in travail and birth pains...Their Child is the Child of Promise the H.G...Jesus said the GOOD SEED are the Children of the Kingdom.... Matthew 13:29 kjv....That Woman in Rev. 12 : 5 is the very best example of an Intimacy with Christ ...Her Child is the H.G. as that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit...The Woman is Humanity, The WORLD, as the field is the World where that good seed is sown...our hearts is the field..where this Spritual Intimacy will take place...The seed of the sower is the seed of Bridegroom.

Finishing a previous question:

Lazarus couldn't cross over the gulf to take water to the rich man in hell. My question is when did all of this situation change for us when we die? Now we go to heaven if we're saved and we see Jesus and our loved ones who have gone on before us.

Those who die lost and unsaved go to the devil's hell.

So when did all of that "hades/paradise" stuff change?

Confused here.

Please help but don't get really heavy duty over my head with it please.

Thanks.

.

Luke 16:19-31 tells us about the rich man who died and went to hell. In verse 23, it says he was in "hell." The rich man could see Abraham and Lazarus "afar off" and there was a great gulf between them. He asked for Lazarus to bring water to him and Abraham told him it w

i am a kjv 1611 bible and i don't understand how so many books are written that are called bibles 1 God, 1book of 66 books. we have it all. dom't be misguided by the work of satan he is the author of confusion and ready always to steer you away from the Truth.

The intimacy of God the Father is found in prayer.

Intimacy is the conversation we have in and through His son Jesus.

This is His spirit of intimacy,

The way to connect for you and me , through this, His ultimate sacrifice .

This is the intimacy of God

The same intimacy between the Father and the Son, is the ultimate love man will need to survive in this, His creation.

So now you know He is That way , that truth, that life!

Now you know who He is as He waits for your prayer of confession.

Now you know Him as He is, this is the intimacy He wishes for you and me!

The spirit man is the third person.

It will do what it see's and hears!

If you are Seeing only Christ and hearing only Him, then you will see the Father and what true intimacy is!

The intimacy between the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit!

Repent and be Baptized

Sure and I will second that. We all are given free will but Marke there are also people who are evil doers without knowing but if they come to the Lord and Faith they can always ask for forgiveness. The Lord loves all his creation even the most heathen. What they must do is come to him and Ask. That is what the Lord asks. Like in this pandemic we see the vaccine. Now if you look at the word Temptation Marke if you exhaust this word you will see that Rebeling against God is in fact to experiment on diseases when the Lord asks you to come to him. 2 peter 2 9 Temptation. Now I prefer to commit to the Father of all creation so he can call me his child. I come to think how many have took this vaccine and still haven't turned to the Father.

5043 tknon - properly, a child; (figuratively) anyone living in full dependence on the heavenly Father, i.e. fully (willingly) relying upon the Lord in glad submission. This prompts God to transform them into His likeness.

Reply to Douglas:

Daniel's vision of Rev. 12 was of the end times, especially of the 7-year period commonly referred to as The Great Tribulation. According to Daniel 9, there are 70 weeks determined for Israel, divided into 69 weeks (62 weeks + 7 weeks of 7 years each) and then the 70th week. It took 49 years to rebuild the temple in Nehemiah's day (7 weeks representing years = 7x7 = 49 years.) From the completion of the Temple until the day Jesus entered Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate on what we celebrate as Palm Sunday was 434 years (62 weeks representing years = 62 x 7 = 434 years.) One week after Jesus' entry through the Eastern Gate He was crucified.

The 70th or last week refers to the 7 years of tribulation that is yet to come, and apparently soon coming.

Reply to Juni:

I suspect the passage is referring primarily to Jesus' first coming as Savior. He came unto His own but may of His own rejected Him. Nevertheless, others believed and received Him, proving they were worthy by faith to be forgiven of their sins and given new life.

Reply to Theresa:

I believe Jesus will take His Bride out of the world before the Great Tribulation just as angels took Lot out of Sodom before the fire fell that burned up that city. Jesus will later return to earth at the end of the Tribulation to set up His kingdom on earth.

Some Christians believe that whatever happens only happens because God designed for it to happen and that nothing happens that is not God's will to happen. I do not agree.

Dear "Robin Burcham" Revelation 20:15 example:

I read something today that i noticed. Paul writes in 1Timothy 5:1-16 that we must not choose widow until they are 60 years old. To serve in the church, appealingly abusive to all genders, men and women. And then here many teachers simply fail to see the truth. That in the Lord are men also the women. (now it will be a memory room)!

Because they would fail the church in some way. Even then, do not stick to the church and the word. It seems that Dear Paul was very concerned about the widows. And that he simply may not dare to mention the boys/men.

Now we know that before God we are equal. That is why all younger people are meant here as well. I believe that the Lord will lead us fully to the truth. John 16:13 So when you are young / have habits / or in other ways show your childhood / youth. Then this will be refined with the realization and growth in God. For the day will come when we will stand before the Judge, and then it is good that all our cases are settled with the Lord.

All habits / bad habits will peel off us. For with God we are One.

So make your best friend, and ask for forgiveness if you know it's wrong. And if you know it's wrong, that mistake will chase you until it's no longer a mistake. Hope you understand.

And the day He reveals Himself then we probably have other things to think about :) God Is a great God no one is above or beside our God. He has conquered death, so it no longer has any power! In His Blood we have received healing, hallelujah Amen in Jesus Christ's holy name, stand strong in the Bible and Jesus, friend and all evil will flee from you. Love u in Christ. He Is the one who is great here on earth and is no small god you must believe. He will have all the glory forever, so great is He.
