Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 685

In today's terms, to be a 'surety' for someone, is to be their 'guarantor': as in Proverbs 6:1. In other words, you are prepared to stand by the person in case they default in payment, by putting up the money yourself. A very risky position to take - many have had their 'fingers burned', by doing so.

Brother it's truly awesome to meet you.what I do is every morning I listen to 7 Christians song normally with a candle but since Monday I am in hospital I have stroke my 8 miracle my right was affected as I text this message but I'm recovering good psalm 91 is very important it could our shield in tribulation. I followed the commandments at least in my humble way

They're here - I'm looking at them now on a second KJBO tab.

Pat:

It's the prophets of the people that are cause to prophecy lies.

Ezekiel 14:4-10

1 Kings 22:19-23

God Bless You!

When I read this chapter it seems to be a figure of when a minister of the gospel (star) becomes carnally minded in his teachings (falling from heaven to earth). Then smoke from the forces of Satan choke the life giving air and sun. Following the choking of truth comes locusts (false prophets). Nahum 3:17 would reference similar figures. I could go on..... but think spiritual figures of speech when you read Revelation and see it you see things differently. Chapter 8 when waters get polluted living organisms die. Sounds like new testament teachings.

Hello Dora. We do see the Book of Jasher mentioned a couple of times in the Bible ( 2 Samuel 1:18 & Joshua 10:13), but as far as I can gather, the original writings have long been lost. Now, there have been several productions/translations made, & especially a false one in the 1700s AD, but all these have been highly suspect.

Reasons given: since the original manuscripts/copies aren't available, those who included certain books in the Bible were hesitant to include a book that only found proof in spurious writings. From the productions that are available, certain errors were found, being incompatible with the rest of Scripture (just as the OT & NT apocryphal writings were treated): chronological errors (i.e. matters of dates of writing or events) & suspect events (e.g. snow falling pre-Flood).

Some new NT writers also took quotes from extra-biblical sources (e.g. Paul quoted from a Cretian prophet (Epimenidus) in Titus 1:9-14; & also in Acts 17:28 (a Grecian poet); Colossians 4:16 (epistle from Laodicea - not found); 2 Timothy 3:8 and Jude 9 (from the Assumption of Moses - not included); and many more. So we see that references were made to certain 'other' books (whether true of false in content), but done so to strengthen the argument & to also gain a 'listening ear' from those opposed to the Gospel. I've often quoted from the Qur'an when speaking to Muslims, not to give support to their book, but to help gain their 'ear' to the declaration of Christ who is perfectly understood only in the Bible. Some may disagree with this, but it is an acceptable method (as seen in the Bible) when sharing across religions & cross culture.

So, the Book of Jasher was not intentionally hidden from us, but it was deemed unworthy to be included in the Bible, since the original production was not available, & the only ones available were spurious. But if deemed necessary, one could quote from it (& others) prudently to assist & strengthen the discussion.

Yes my friend anointing the people from the east is also fulfilment of GOD'S promise to Abraham .Israel unfortunately always defile GOD . HENCE he allowed Nebuchadnezzar to destroy Jerusalem and it's temple bringing desolation to Jerusalem GODdoes not want hence inspired Cyrus to order Israel to build the 2nd temple. But GOD is very frustrated with the way do the task sending to many prophets before they complete the task. In Ezekiel 43 it is well prophesied.read it carefully and you will that all of it manifests

Now the 2nd temple was burned down by the Roman and the JewsAnd Israel was killed ALL OF THEM because Rome hope that GOD AND HIS people WILL NEVER BE REMEMBERED IN JERUSALEM : Rome put the Greek people to act as Jews to hide this hideous MASSACRE . Rome doesn't want GOD TO BE KNOWN TO THE WORLD,SEEING JESUS CHRIST RISE FROM THE DEAD

But GOD WANT WORSHIPPERS IN JERUSALEM HENCE THE PEOPLE FROM THE EAST.

May you be guided it's so tragic.

Ronnette, please be careful when you say you can't find a true church. Sometimes we can over evaluate people and because of bad examples label a church good or bad. Sometimes when visiting church we might not get a chance to know people more deeply or people are not experiencing the same things we are going through and judge they are not in tune with the Holy Spirit. I am so thankful for the many faithful believers within my church body . The older I get the more I appreciate the different gifts God has placed in the body (as it has pleased Him).

Paul, thanks so much for quoting verses that get passed over so easily because we live in an entitlement society. Others verses to go along with the ones you quoted. Luke 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." When James says "faith without works is dead" he means dead for salvation. He starts the discourse about faith and works saying can faith alone save him.

Amen Brother Chris,

Amen free

god bless you

Brother Alex:

I believe both you and Suze are right.

At Christ Resurrection, David received the promise of immortal life, he has become the SEED, now he is planting SEED as is Christ.

David the SEED has no need of a PLACE called (literal) HEAVEN, man doctrine.

Isaiah 6:13 But yet in it (the land, earth) shall be a tenth, and it (the tenth, the offering to the Lord in righteousness) shall return (first resurrection), and shall be eaten: as a teil tree and as an oak, whose substance IS IN THEM, when they cast their leaves, the HOLY SEED shall be the substance thereof.

Revelation 22:2 ....and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Do we agree that the OLD SAINTS were raised with Christ, let me know if we don't, and we will look to the scriptures for the answer.

God Bless YOU!

What does surety bond mean in the bible?

gossip slander... This is not Godly...

Sister Suze:

Revelation 8:9 And the THIRD PART of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the THIRD PART of the SHIPS were destroyed.

Psalms 104:26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, which thou hast made to play therein.

Isaiah 27:1 In that the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword (the word of God) shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan, that crooked serpent, and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

Revelation 13:10 And he that leadeth into captivity, shall go into captivity, and he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.

Revelation 20:4 .....and the souls (mines of flesh) that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus .....

God Bless You!

It's part of the beatitudes and sermon on the mount Matthew chapters 5-7, Matthew 6:9-14

number of times the word "Time" is found in the kjv

If we were good and honorable; the command isn't an issue-that's what you seem to be saying. But suppose you yourself were the wicked neighbor. If you were open to rebuke; would you want your neighbor to rebuff with meanness instead? Would the love of Christ demonstrated show how good can overcome evil; hence "drawing all men unto Himself?" These are not easy issues. I had to show love today toward my father who is verbally abusive; and whose mind is slowly going. This kind of grace only comes through Christ in us. Even if it is never appreciated; as the Word says God has it rain on the just and the unjust. Judas Iscariot is the most extreme example. Christ offered him the sop (an item of honor); until the deal was sealed as it were with Satan. He knew all along that he was the prophesied "son of perdition" who would betray Him; but the Psalms say that it was his "trusted friend"; clearly indicating amazingly enough sorrow and pain in the heart of Christ even for him; and Isaiah 14 indicates the same for Lucifer (also see Ezekiel 28).

Food for thought. Agape.. Rich P

God will not place an evil spirit within His servants to prophesy falsehood; but as Baalam did and the the 400 false prophets around Micaiah with the council of heaven had a demon represented who was given permission to not only tell a lie but was guaranteed by God Himself that they would listen. This is what makes so called "prophets" today suspect; especially with so little discernment of spirits evident today. The Spirit of God never states things that are appealing to the flesh; but evil spirits do. Our hearts being deceitful above all things ( Jeremiah 17:9) makes us prone and susceptible. In fact; the many curses were warned of in Deuteronomy; and also to Solomon should he be drawn away with many foreign women to worship their gods. These things happened. The case of Micaiah shows a TRUE prophet who at first mocked the false prophesy then rendered the truth. This involved a patriotic attitude which is a warning today for those who would not accept God's judgment when He determines it comes; likely during the Tribulation in this nation.

Suze... I love ya but let me give ya my feelings on Acts 2 : 29....Peter is not saying that David is not going to Heaven...Peter was just trying to tell all those folks that David was not the one who David was prophesing about....Peter was trying to tell them that the Prophesy of DAVID'S soul not left in Hell is just prophetic that its Christ's soul that was not left in hell etc,...Its Christs soul that wd not see corruption....Not DAVID ...In fact most of all Davids Prophesies were really about Christ....That special Son that was to come out of Davids loins was really prophetic about the H.G. that Child of Promise that wd come out of Christ loins...his seed etc..His breath etc...Christ's words are his seeds etc..

.....David that great man of God will be in Heaven but he is not that great king that will rule over the house of Israel forever...As David had prophesed about as being himself....The bible just uses DAVID as symbolic language for Christ that great King that will reign over the house of Israel forever....But there is an element of truth in DAVIDS Prophesy....THere was a great king that came out of DAVIDS LOINS which was Solomon that was to reign in Jerusalem forever...But its the H.G. the Comforter the Child of PROMISE that is gonna come outta of Christ loins (his seed ) that is gonna rule in NEW JERUSALEM The kingdom in our hearts for ever.

.....Thats what Peter was trying to tell them in Acts 2 : 29 ...David was just prophetic of Christ and Solomon was just prophetic of the H.G. that is gona build that great temple in our hearts...As our bodies are the temple of the H.G..Abide in me and i in you....Thats y Jesus said a greater then Solomon is Here..

.....An external kingdom wd be no threat to Satan...It has to be internal, simply b/c our warfare is in internal....His enemy is our carnal minds thus the kingdom has to be with in us....In order for God to make his enemy (our carnal minds ) his footstool.. 1ST COR 6: 19 Your body is the temple OF H.G.

Brother Paul,

Amen. The scripture's you present here is clearer than crystal clear water!

We only need to drink from this ever flowing water.

John 4:14

"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

God Bless.

Why not accept what is written in Genesis 1and 2?

He chose soil and moulded Adam into the form all people would be. Since we have the elements within us now: of unique chromosomes and DNA, all of that would pass into future people born. God breathed life into Adams nostrils, the breath of LIFE. Adam was completed. A living, breathing HUMAN being.

God Made Eve from just one of Adams ribs. She had the identical components in her body; plus the capability to bear children. A womb and breasts to feed her children.

We do not know what color Adam and Eve were. Scientists cannot figure it out either. DNA and chromosomes are still mysterious to them. It's still a science not explained. A white woman can be implanted with donated sperm, and give birth to a black (or other colors) child. That's why they separate sperm now, and store it according to the fathers color.

The old days restrictions (by families) of people intermarrying with people of different color, has been abolished. So we currently see what some people call " mixed race families.

All of this is from Gods permissive Will for mankind. It was of man to separate us, and try to restrict inter- marriage.

Restrictions God put upon the Jewish people, is that they marry other Jews. But people will be people, fall in love with other races and religions. The restriction imposed is that the children will be raised as Jewish.

Myself, I'm what one would call a Gentile. Non-Jewish. I was raised in a Southern Baptist Church and was baptized at 12. I will end this there. I hope you can accept how God made this world and the people he put on it. Be at peace. May we do as God spoke into us: be fruitful and multiply.

This world will end because God made a blood covenant with Israel, concerning their land. That was Gods decision.

He made covenant with descendants of Abrahams son, Israel. Jesus is Jewish and we can receive him as savior and Lord; today.

Dear Sister Suze,

Always enjoy your posts, and I hope you don't mind me offing some clarification here regarding scripture that specifically states that we can enter into Heaven, the same Kingdom of Heaven where Jesus/God reside.

Jesus tells us below that if we do God's will, we can enter into the "Kingdom of Heaven."

Matthew 7:21

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

So yes, we should be striving for this reward!

God Bless.

Sister Suze:

Revelation 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast in to the sea, and a THIRD PART of the sea became blood.

Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters (seas) which thou sawest, where the whore setteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Daniel 2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of a mountain made without hands ....

Hebrews 12:22 But you are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, and unto a company of innumerable angels.

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire.

Exodus 7:17 Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shall know that I am the LORD, Behold, I will smite with the rod that is in thine hand the waters (peoples, nations) that are in the river, and they shall turn into blood.

God Bless You!

What we call The Lord's Prayer is in Matthew Chapter 6 verses 9 through13. It is where Jesus tells us how we should pray to our Holy Father.

Thank you my fellow believer. I actually memorized Psalm 91 by heart. I will do the same for the other chapter.

Sister Suze:

Revelation 8:7 And the first angel sounded, And there followed hail mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and a THIRD PART of the trees were burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.

Isaiah 28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one (Christ), which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, and a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to earth with his hand.

Psalms 18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.

Psalms 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens (in us), and the Highest gave his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.

Psalms 148:8 Fire, and hail; snow and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

Ezekiel 20:47 And say to the forest of the south, hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD God; Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming fire shall not be quenched, and all faces from the north to the south shall be burned therein.

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

God Bless you!

did solve and paul ever get marriag

I have a question! What book and verse in the Bible does it say for a red bird not to lay with a blue bird?

True to your observations our world is spiritually lost, the RCC is never a place of worship , the Christians lost it too when they have Vatican 2 now Islam too is lost because they prefer Mohammad over jesus,while they were commanded to do so, loosing

Their power to witness.today we are very close to the great tribulation.

What you can do is askGOD for guidance and protection . Go to your room and pray to the Father. Learn the commandments

Be the remnants of her seed WHICH KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST

Get some Christians song psalm 91 Isaiah 40;27-30
