    Geographically, Heaven is the third Heaven, that is where the Lord is. Hell is located in the heart of the earth... I think it was Spurgeon who said, this life is the only Hell a Christen will ever know, and this life is the only Heaven an unsaved person will ever know.

    Remember Jesus telling the story of the woman who gave two mites, and that was all she had, and the rich guy gave, but he didn't give all he had.

    2 Corinthians 9:7 God loveth a cheerful giver.

    The USA has a corrupt Government like Jesus declared ancient Israel had. God warned the obedient Israelites to flee into the Mountains to escape the coming destruction. Only the ones who obeyed God's voice lived to tell the tale. I have asked God to avenge me of all Americans who support the corrupt Government in Washington, D.C. who are assaulting me with Havana Syndrome weapons.

    2 Corinthians 4:4 " In whom the god of this world" Satan is the god of this world.

    "Judas the BROTHER of James, this would be Judas, also called "Thaddaeus" Matt 10:3 Mark3:18. An excellent candidate, for he like Peter, James and John, was an apostle. The apostle James and and Judas were the brothers. The problem why it is not, Judas the Lord's brother, he was not an apostle.

    Will Jesus tell you to depart from him?

    "Then said Jesus again unto them,

    I go my way, and ye shall seek me,

    and shall die in your sins:

    whither I go, ye cannot come."
  • Luke - In Reply - 3 years ago
    The short answer the one thief went directly to Hell after death. And the one that said. Lord remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom, died saved and went to Abraham's bosom which was called paradise at that time. No one goes to heaven before Christ died on the cross, it wasn't available cause Christ had not yet shed his blood to pay for the sin of mankind... At that time Hell and Paradise.Abraham's bosom were in the heart of the earth. Now Heaven is available to the saved, and Hell for the unsaved.
  • Luke - In Reply on James 2 - 3 years ago
    You weren't specific about what verse from James. Keep in mind James is written to the 12 tribes of Israel. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The bible does say that God does hate certain sins above others.

    The Holy Spirit, is the author of the scriptures, the interpreter, preserver and teacher. When you get to heaven it will be revealed to you.

    The bible never mentions Paul being married. However according to Jewish custom he man have been, we don't know.
  • Luke - In Reply - 3 years ago
    It never said that Paul was married. It is possible that according to Jewish custom he may have been. The disciple Peter was married.

    Amen Brother Alex;

    This is for the ones reading our comments.

    Zechariah 12:6 And in that day .....

    The DAY of the LORD, when it became possible TO BE GIVEN eternal life, THE FIRST RESURRECTION.

    John 11:25 .....I am the resurrection, and the LIFE ....

    This DAY has been going on for 2000 years.

    Zechariah 12:6 And in (the first hour of) that day will I make the governors of Judah (OLD SAINTS) like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in (NEW) Jerusalem.

    Zechariah 12:7 The LORD also shall save (resurrection to LIFE) the tents of Judah (Old Saints) FIRST, that the glory of the house of David (NEW SAINTS) and the glory of the inhabitants of (NEW)Jerusalem do not magnify themselves (the NEW SAINTS) against Judah (the OLD SAINTS).

    Zechariah 12:8 In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of (NEW) Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David as God, as (the likeness) of the angel of the Lord before them (OLD and NEW SAINTS).

    God Bless YOU!

    Elias is Elijah in the Old Testament. The mystery would take some explaining. A mystery is something we can't understand, that's why it is a mystery.
  • Luke - In Reply on Ezekiel 23 - 3 years ago
    The King James Bible is God's preserved word in the English language. So the whole bible is God's words. The bible is a difficult book. Every verse of scripture has 3 applications, 1) Historical, 2) Inspirational, 3) Doctrinal. Chapter 23 is an allegory of Jeursalem's and Samaria's unfaithfulness.
  • Luke - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Adam was made in God's image. After Adam fell man is no longer made in His image. If you are born again, you are born in Christ's image. if you are not born again, you are in Adam's image.
  • Luke - In Reply on John 3 - 3 years ago
    " Begotten" means to give birth. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh.
  • David on Habakkuk 1 - 3 years ago
    There is a lot here in the prophet's writings that pertain to us and can help us in our present situation in our nation. Just this past month, we've had mass shootings. The last one in Texas has caused many to ask the same questions that Habakkuk asked.

    "O LORD, how long shall I cry, and THOU wilt not hear! Even cry out unto thee of violence, and THOU wilt not save!"

    We are surrounded by so many things; mass shootings, rising gas and oil prices, food shortages- milk formulas etc. Doesn't look good. Habakkuk was troubled that GOD was using a evil nation like the Babylonians to be HIS agent of judgement. The US could be in the same situation. However we need to be like Habakkuk and trust in the LORD. Remembering what GOD has done for us in the past and trust in HIS timing. Habakkuk waited to hear GOD'S answer in 2:1, because he knew GOD would do the right thing and will correct him in his thinking.

    May we humble ourselves and pray as HE wills us to do and trust in the LORD to have all things in control. 2 Chronicles 7: 14-16

    GOD bless all on this forum.

    May 30, 2022 GOD bless all who served in the armed forces this Memorial Day and their families.

    Millenium.

    Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

    And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. Isaiah 65:8-10.

    NOTICE: HERES A CONTRAST GROUP IN Isaiah 65:11-16. These blessings is not to ALL!

    Isaiah 65:17. parallels with Revelation 21:1. So you can go back and forward between the two books and get the sequence of events in its order and see the players involved and their separate destinations.

    Isaiah 65:18-20 is clearly Israel and clearly future. (Not the Church)

    See here the parallels:

    Isaiah 65:19. and Revelation 21:4.

    Isaiah 65:21_23. and Deuteronomy 28:30-33 ( Deuteronomy 28:45-46) is clearly Israel.

    Isaiah 65:25. Clearly future.

    Notice the economy, location, two groups and two fates, in both Revelation and Isaiah in both books last few chapters.

    Isaiah 66.

    Isaiah66;17-21. and Matthew 25:31-46. (Judgement of the individuals of the Nations) Notice three groups 1) The sheep.

    2) The Goats. 3) The little ones. (Possibly the 144000 sealed servants.)

    Isaiah 66:22. Shows Gods faithful promises and purpose for Israel is eternal.

    Now we come to Isaiah 66;23-24.

    Isaiah 66:23. Speaks of All those who are saved!

    Isaiah 66:24. Speaks of those who are not. ( Revelation 21:1-8.)

    IS 66;24. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: FOR THEIR WORM SHALL NOT DIE, NEITHER SHALL THEIR FIRE BE QUENCED; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. ( This speaks of their eternal state of damnation.) as seen in Revelation 20:13-15. Revelation 22:11.

    2 Peter 3:6-14. Speaks of two groups, repentance, consequences.

  • ELB - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 5:11 - 3 years ago
    Brother Mark:

    I have a question?

    Is the best you can do, good enough?

    Maybe it's not our doing, but Christ's doing.

    Colossians 1:27 ....this mystery .... Christ in you .....

    Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (Christ in you) working in you (his body) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

    Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into HIS (Christ's) REST, he has ceased from his WORKS .....

    We are the BODY, Christ is the LIFE.

    Revelation 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keeps MY WORKS unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations ....

    God Bless You!
  • Alex N - 3 years ago
    Earl yes we agree...Jesus said 4 times in John 6 ...I will raise them up AGAIN the last day....But he also told the Sadduees who did not believe in ANYKIND OF A Resurrection that Abraham Issac and Jacob were already with God in the Kingdom...Saying GOD IS NOT A GOD OF THE DEAD BUT OF THE LIVING ETC.

    And also the scriptures speaks of 10,s of thousands of his saints that will come with the lord.... Jude 14...The Lord comes with 1000s of his saints etc

    ......Have a good day my Bro. Earl GBU

  • Mark Valesano - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 5:11 - 3 years ago
    Bad company corrupts good character ( 1 Cor. 15:33) or a bad apple spoils the bunch. Have a good day, my brother.
  • Mark Valesano - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 5:11 - 3 years ago
    Good morning, Alex N. I think I become more amazed every day at the willingness of people of the faith (Christians) to ignore Scripture. Church discipline, judging, or any other topic that poses a 'problem' or uneasiness for us should be avoided at all costs tends to be the rule of thumb. What is Peter writing about in 1 Peter 4? Judgment must begin in the house of God. What do you think that means? Read the verses preceding it. God's house should always be a house of order. I'm not declaring it's perfect, of course not, for it's full of those of us doing our best to follow Him every day. Again, it's about those who declare a lifestyle of sin and still want the security of God's forgiveness and Heaven at the same time. God doesn't play that and never will. Jesus can't be your or anyone's Savior unless He's your Lord ( Romans 10:13). Don't forget the man Jesus healed at the pool of Bethesda in John 5, read the admonition Jesus gave him in v. 14. God makes us responsible for the gift of His salvation or healing. That's what repentance is all about.

    As for the woman 'caught' in adultery, somehow they forgot to bring the man forth that she was with. I think when Jesus stooped down to write on the ground, Deuteronomy 22:22-24 may have been what He was writing. Sad how people always try to catch God on a technicality to serve their purpose or beliefs.

    The Bible declares that we should study to show ourselves approved unto God, a worker that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth ( 2 Tim. 2:15). Trust me when I say that I make myself transparent with the Bible class I oversee. I point more fingers at myself than anyone, because I know that no good thing dwells in me save for Christ and His Spirit. The other part of my responsibility is to point to those who want to compromise their walk with God of the dangers that they are subjecting themselves to. I encourage you to reread 1 Cor. 5 and 6, Gal. 6:1-10, and 2 Tim. 3 (especially v. 5).
  • Jose on Job 36:14 - 3 years ago
    Hello. Job 36:33 translates differently from other meaning from other Bible translations where it speaks that when it thunders it means God is angry and speaks of His indignation. Why the different meanings when KJV does not mention anything about God's indignation pertaining to Job 36:33? Thank you.

  • Dav47 - In Reply on Genesis 7 - 3 years ago
    Lev 19:19 Deu 22:9 horticulture, you don't plant different seeds side by side it will intermix and taste horrible don't cross pollinate; don't mix plant or seed, they will not mingle , want be fit to eat. GOD wants things the way he made them, they are perfect the way they are, same with animals and all HIS creation; HE doesn't want them mixed they are perfect the way HE created them.
  • Dav47 - 3 years ago
    Mat 22:39 I here so many question and concerns of are we to love our neighbor/enemies: As always search scripture. one who fallows CHRIST and tries to be a good neighbor you love as you love all Christian brothers who fallow the doctrine of CHRIST. The 1st and greatest commandment is to love GOD with all your heart and soul and if you do you would be a good neighbor. Is upon the head of any head of house to protect you family with your life if need be. Would you let a neighbor walk in your home and abuse 1 of your family? I hope you said no.

    Paul wrote: Rom 12:18 Many look over "If it is possible" sometimes it just is not possible to get along and you don't ever let someone run over you. If you have a neighbor that does not love GOD and commits egregious acts against you; he cannot be of GOD but of Satan, 2 John 1:7. Do you love Satan? I hope you said no. Anyone that does not fallow the doctrine of CHRIST we are to not so much as wish them a good day 2 John 1:10. We love our enemies only after they have turned from their sins against you and accept doctrine of CHRIST, 2 John 1:9, not until. CHRIST tells us Math. 10:14 if they do not accept doctrine to turn from them, wiping even their dirt off. If they sin against you and repent and ask for forgiveness then you forgive but if they don't then have nothing to do with them until they do.

    Leviticus 19:15-:18 GOD tells us what being a good neighbor is. If he is self-professed Christian (brother) and he breaks these rules then scripture tells us to set him aside until he repents and ask for forgiveness. If he doesn't then vengeance is the Lords. You will be blessed while he has to watch; perhaps he eventually comes to senses an wants the good life you have. But if you are unlucky to get an evil neighbor you best be on guard, Christians are not 2nd class citizens where we allow to be stepped on.

    2Th 3:14,15 Mathew 18:15-:20 Romans 16:17 2 Thessalonians 3:6-:14 Luke 17:3,4. Corresponding verses.
  • Suze - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Thank you Alex , I do understand exactly what you are saying and I won't refute it , I do believe that Christ will physically return to earth as it states in Acts Ch 1 , to establish God's Kingdom on earth and that Christ himself will rule over the earth in person from Jerusalem , Moses was a foreshadow of Christ and he had helpers to judge and teach the Israelites and I believe that is what we , the ressurescted will do , we will do the same kind of things that Angels do now . I totally get and appreciate all your posts very much , I do also believe that the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord and that the meek shall inherit the earth , the promises made to Abraham were not just about his seed but also about the actual land of Israel , at the end of the day....all things work together for good to them that love God smiley face , much love to you in Christ and a big hug .

    Hi Marke.

    If you mind me saying, I see those scriptures the way you do.

    Isaiah 66 speaks on the millennium. Job and Hebrews don't connect to those verses at all.

    I'm going to do a comment on Isaiah 66on a new thread.

    God bless.

    I see those scriptures the way you do. Im
