When one tithes and/or gives offerings(seeds) and or 1st fruits. Who does one give the actual tithe or offering too? Is this something you give to a church? What if you havent found a church to go to yet?

Your husband seems to have fallen prey to sin from not properly seeking God's help to remain free from sin. He may be saved or not, but it appears you may have to seek God to help you do right by God on a separate path that avoids your husband's destructive interference. If he is not determined to remain true to his marriage vows and responsibilities to you and God then you may have to let him go.

1 Corinthians 7:15

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

Dinosaurs were not killed by an asteroid impact. That theory is scientifically silly.

Reply to Peter halliday:

Nothing can happen that takes God by surprise but lots of things do happen that are contrary to the will of God.

All sins and blasphemies are forgiven by God but the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost which sin is committed by rebels against God who blaspheme God and the message the Holy Ghost is preaching to them they know is the truth about Jesus. When rebels commit such hateful and willful rejection of Jesus after being enlightened by the Holy Ghost they offend God in a way that seals their doom forever.

Mark 3

I do not believe Cain's physical father was Satan while Abel's physical father was Adam, with Eve giving birth to both sons at the same time because she supposedly had sex with both fathers at the same time. That whole idea is preposterous and borders on the demonic.

Very helpful thank you

I'm preparing to study this chapter this morning at our Bible study at church. Went back the 10 years of comments on this and no one points out the fact that Solomon (under the Spirit's direction) wrote 3 books contained in the Bible; Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. That being said, why would God allow Solomon to veer from his 'good start' as king and subsequently watch him drift from his course of following God with all his heart? I believe as a lesson to provide wisdom in the Word of God for those who think anything and everything the world can provide or our own desires imagine cannot satisfy our need for God in our lives. Proverbs is the book of truthful practices that can provide direction for those seeking God by showing them what to avoid and what to embrace. Ecclesiastes is the book containing lifetime experiences that point back to the fact that after all is said and done, no matter how indulgent or seemingly satisfying worldly pursuits seem to be, ultimately their empty of true worth and meaningless in the realm of eternity. Finally, the Song of Solomon is for those who think that one man/one woman relationships are for losers. Out of 700 wives and 300 concubines, Solomon had found true love with one woman. True wisdom on his part would have taken that aspect of his life and turned it over to God for provision, as in the case of Isaac (Abraham's son). Women aren't the problem and neither are men. Sin is the problem and we generate that well enough on our own. Plus the Song of Solomon provides a metaphorical image of Christ and His church.

Do I believe Solomon is in heaven? Absolutely. Like the prodigal son, he came back to his senses and allowed his life to be an example to us that nothing can take the place of a right standing with God Almighty!

Fred G/M GBU...May i give ya my slant on FAITH...As in Hebrews 11:1 ....Now Faith is the Substance of things Hoped for and the Evidence of things not seen....In the Spritual realm under this new covenant....Faith is a spritual Pregnancy via the seed of Christ the bridegroom ...Being bornagain of an incorruptible seed even by the words of God as ,Peter said...But this new birth requires a spritual Pregnancy which comes from hearing hiS VOIC...Faith comes by hearing his Words...There has to be an intimacy.

.....Even in the natural when a woman is pregnant she has the substance of things HOPED FOR ( the Baby ) which is the evidence of things NOT SEEN...No body can see what she has, not even her husband....But she knows it b/c her whole biological make up is changing and she can feel the baby moving with in her...@ only 6 weeks there is already a heart beat....Thats US after he sows his good seed in our hearts we have heavenly Faith...We know we are spritual Pregnant...We can feel the Spirit moving within US...My lil Children of whom i travail in birth Again till Christ is formed in you Gal 4 :19...As we have borne the image of the earthly we must also bear ( birth ) the image of the heavenly....We have the evidence of things not seen which is the H.G the Child of Promise.

.....Unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in....Thats Y he has to know us, thats when his good seed is gona be sown in our hearts and minds....She brought forth a man Child that is gonna rule al nations and her Child was caught up to God and to his throne... Rev. 12 :5....We are the woman and her Child is the result of the sower and his seed...the words of that New covenant....The babes and suckling he mentions ,..Thats y he is saying the Good seed are the CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM....There is a baby Christ in our future....Thats y he always refers to himself as the SON OF MAN.

.....Blessed are them that follow me in the REGENERATION....a BABY CHRIST...

I believe you are correct that n that Ruby . Much love in Christ . The simplest explanation is usually the correct one smiley face .

If you cannot see a thing, does it mean that it doesn't exist?

Faith is just that thing!

It is the means of travel, in the universe and the time of and in His creation.

As we Travel across the universe at the speed of light, there will be times that those who are outside of Him may be given a glimpse of His Majesty, yet only according too His Grace!

The depths of the wisdom of God, His love for man, while preserving who He is!

Sanctification, is the washing away of sin! The sin that easily moves us out of His will for us in ( the way.)

The sin that needs to be removed again and again!

We cannot do it ourselves, it must come from above. It must come from Him, we can only receive it, in this thing called faith!

If you believe the promises of Him, and are covered in Him, then you will see clearly while traveling at the speed of light! His light found in His Son, the Savior of the world!

If you have not been given glimpse, then you shall be left behind!

Repent and be Baptized

Glistening is not in the Bible. I checked. Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, was described as

GLISTERING.

Your claim of Cain and Abel being twins is not recorded as one birth, two kids. It is 2 separate births.

Eve gave birth to Cain, Abel, Seth, and many others.

She did not have a child with Satan/serpent. Satan had no body. God put him into a serpent before Eden. Human body parts don't match with serpent parts.

EPHESIANS 6, says that Satan and demons are invisible. They can get inside of sinful willing humans. Jesus cast a herd of pigs possessed with demons over a cliff. The Bible clearly says the man among the tombs had a legion of demons inside of him. They're real.

They get inside of animals and living things. If the HOST dies, they have to find another body or remain invisible.

Christians have the Armor of God to fight against THE INVISIBLE evil spirits.

Have you ever Googled the Church of Satan? They get together and do evil stuff and pray for PORTALS to the dark world to be opened do more evil spirits can do evil to mankind, make people sin and Harden Their Hearts against God; mock Jesus.

My Aunt was into spiritism: she read Tarot, Did spells, pushed aliens from space, crystals, talismans, the whole show. She hooked up with a guy who was into the same stuff, but he was a HOST for wicked spirits. I made both of them furious when she tried to make my mom believe in their craft.

This is true. That night in bed on my stomach almost asleep; something invisible grabbed my forehead and chin and tried to break my neck. I was pleading the Blood of Jesus with every cell.

Something pulled it off of me. I looked and didn't see anything. Then I hear through the open window a violent fight, loud body blows (angels). Next morning my aunt and friend were gone, real early. My mom said she didn't believe in the Roswell incident book. Wicked human spirits

get inside of willing people.

Don't teach heresy.

In Genesis when God had finished creating, He said it was GOOD. All the trees were good for food.

Only one was forbidden to eat of it. Tree of Life.

So they disobeyed and ate of the Tree of the knowledge of GOOD AND EVIL. All of a sudden they notice they have no covering. They used fig leaves because they were there.

They were covered by purity until they sinned.

God confronted them. They confessed. God performed the first sacrifice of an animal and made them clothes.

The Tree of Life was immediately guarded by an Angel with a flaming sword. If they had eaten of that tree they would live eternally in sin without forgiveness.

One of Jesus's names is Tree of Life.

No archaeologists have been able to find where the garden of Eden was. Revelation shoes us that The Tree of Life was moved. Revelation 22:2

Also, the Ark of the Covenant is in heaven. Revelation 11:19. I believe when the Antichrist arrives at Armageddon to fight against Jesus and his army of the saints of God, on white horses: the Ark of the Testament will slay Antichrist's army. Antichrist's doom is to be thrown into hell, with the False Prophet and the Beast.

I prayed over that event. The Bride of Christ (the saints of God) aren't going to hack through a million man army, and fill the battlefield up to the horses bridles. We see violence on tv and don't even blink. True?

The Ark will slay Jesus's enemies. I believe we will be over the top with joy and victory at the end. To see our Beloved's Victory over Satan

I think "The Church" has been, for a few decades; lukewarm, deaf to Jesus's command to GO YE. Evangelize the lost and those that are blind and deaf that there is GOOD NEWS; if they will repent and grab onto Jesus. He is the Ark. Like Noah did, we gotta preach, Listen!! This is all going to BURN. Wall to wall fire. 2 PETER 3:9-11

God wrote it. He's going to do it. One asteroid caused total extinction on earth: killed all the dinosaurs.

Dear Ben.

The greek for "love" is "agape". This is the word used throughout the greek version of the Gospel, even in verses where the KGV translation uses the word "charity" ie as in 1 Corinthians 13, 2 Timothy 3:10, Colossians 3:14 and many other.

The greek for "charity" (love, compassion,mercy,sympathy for fellow humans, people) is " philanthropia". It is only used in Titus 3:4 "But after that the "philanthropia" (kindness and love toward man) of God our saviour appeared,.."

"Koridos"?. Maybe you mean "charitos", pronounced "kha-ree-tos". It means "of grace, due to grace. The Greek for "grace" is "charis", it comes from a root word that means "gift, gifting". That is why we say that we are saved by God's grace, means salvation is a gift from God. The word "charisma" comes from that word. Charisma in greek means gift, a given talent, grace (same in English I think).

GBU

Yes, thank you dear "Joe", that's how i think to. But then it becomes a big BUT. Because i do not praise then, there will be no worship at all. So and praise the Lord will lift us up, it cleanses us free, the most gracious thing we can do is and love the Lord with all our soul, spirit and body. There lies the praise. Thank you for mentioning this. Now let the day be to the Glory of God, Amen.

We must pray that we always have a conscience that allows us to praise the Lord.

Romans 5:1-5 in Jesus name, love u in Christ.

We're gonna need a little more info. Does he have a name-the one fighting against God?

Dear "Charley",

thank you for coming with this reminder. And as so many times before, we must never stop teaching / patient all people.

Now there are separate threads in here that explain hell and they make parts of all the levels of the earth. So u can like them, i would advise you to look at them. We must also remember that everyone on the web is at different levels in God's plan and in His arrangement as well. So that we is always indulgent with everyone. Everyone is welcome here on the web, whether they will be is another matter unfortunately. and in the kingdom of God too. In Jesus Christ. :) Peace be with you and yours. Romans 5: 1-5 love u in Christ.

Proverbs Chapter 6

16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Colossians 3:8 - But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.thee.

Matthew 6:24 - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and money.

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (Read More...)

Galatians 5:22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

1 John 5:13-17 - These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (Read More...)

What are the seven deadly sins in the Bible

Sons of God, where men that feared and served the Lord.

Pam, Whom God anoints; He appoints. He will accomplish His Word.

King David was a shepherd. Samuel anointed David King over Israel. It was YEARS before He made it to Jerusalem.

We have this same issue come up frequently. A preacher friend Iverna Tompkins ministers to Churches. Generally meetings with women. Sometimes the Pastor requests men or women to attend as a mixed group.

If you listen to a couple of her videos on Youtube__the message she delivers (the Word) is anointed. Everyone is blessed who attends.

On the Day of Pentecost in the Upper Room, IT WAS A MIXED CROWD. All of them received the Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT. The room spilled out in the streets! Everyone heard the message (gift of tongues) in their own language. All 3 Mary's were there: His mother, Lazarus's sister Mary and Mary Magdalene.

The Holy Spirit came as a rushing wind, doors and windows blew open, and the fire of tongues fell on all those who were there. And everyone was experiencing the gift of tongues, they were prophesying and proclaiming Jesus as Messiah, King of Kings, Lord of Lords with all their strength.

People outside heard the sounds and rushed to see what was happening and they too heard their own language!

Jesus meant it to be this way THEN AND NOW. We are so cultured and PC you rarely see the gifts of the Holy Spirit in a church service. I've been in churches that allow the Holy Spirit to Come and Fall on us. He did. I walked towards the stage and the Power of the Holy Spirit was so strong, we all fell into a kneeling position. 2/3 of the church got touched or healed. The oil of joy poured on us and all the pressures of life and depression were lifted off.

Men or women are all able to pray ISAIAH 61 or Luke 4:18. We are all called to GO YE INTO ALL OF OUR WORLD and work in the Harvest. Do you hear that call?

Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you and anoint your message.

Receive the joy and fill your lamps with oil.

Matthew 25:12, John 9:35-38.

jesus did not go to hell he went to the lower parts of the earth the holding place

for the old testament saints to bring them to paradise . ephesians 4-8-9

jesus conquered death hell and the grave and never suffered in hell this

is blasphemy hesuffered on a olden wooden cross for lost sinners.

where in the bible is this find where these people that hes taking are gonna fight aganist him,'' god'' 17chapter and37 verse

I attended a very secular private high school, but we were still asked to memorize this passage of Corinthians as sophomores. I remember at the time my humanities teacher gave an interesting lesson in Greek/Roman root words for modern English, and they raised a connection between "Charity" in the King James edition sense of the word, and "karidos" which meant "love for fellow mankind" in the old Greek Bible translations. It seems like the modern American Bible has lost some context when it changed "Charity" to "Love" unless one's pastor is at hand to mention the distinction.

To me - to fear God means to fear his wrath, not to fear to faithfully approach Him with our prayers and sincere repentance

Doug,

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to help me. I will read as you have mentioned the scriptures concerning this situation I'm going through. I know there's an answer in the Word. That is my life's manual. But so much knowledge in that book that will solve all problems. It's just finding where to look and to follow through with God's plan.

God Bless you

Susan

John,

I understand. No need for apologies.

God Bless you

According to what I read in John 20:17 (KJV Crown copyright in the UK),

Jesus commanded Mary Magdalene to "...go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."

Every Easter, the message that Mary Magdalene dutifully delivered is proclaimed on billboards and Church marquees all across Christendom.

Similarly, God gave Blessed Mary a pretty important message to go tell on the Mountain...

There are lots of discussion on what is meant for us and what isn't. There is no other bible that changes these ( 1 Corinthians 11:14-15) the spirit and word agree.

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay (tithe) of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. (also Luke 11:42)

Mild Bill - (Jesus said these ye ought to have done, pay tithe. and not to leave the other undone.) When Jesus says something we ought to do it, it is not an option.
