The Jews is continuing its efforts to ruin the worship in Jerusalem let's hope and pray that this does not grow big

Rev 11;7

Hi Sister GiGi,

Thanks for your reply, and it's always so nice to hear from you.

I appreciate all of your input on all of the various biblical scriptures, and always find your posts on point, knowledgeable, and very informative.

I also concur with you regarding Paul, 2 Cor 3:6 I too, also believe that Paul is referring directly to the OT law per this scripture. In my mind I believe Paul was emphasizing the New Covenant was not of the law, but of Christs Gospel. This New Gospel is the "Good News" that, if we hear it, and take it to heart, we will live it, and if we truly live it - will be also be conforming with Gods laws, thereby receiving Life rather than death.

God Bless.

If god made one race of man where did all the other races come from?

Not really but thanks.

Steven, I look forward to your next response on this topic.

Oops, Believer,

I replied to you under the top comment in this thread. Please see it there.

Hello, Believer. Historically, Christians have believed that Jesus is eternally God, never having been created by the Father, One with the Father and the Spirit yet a distinct Person within the Godhead. Also, historically, Christians have believed that Jesus is equal to the Father and the Spirit, all possessing the divine nature to the infinite perfection and fullness.

Your view that Jesus is a created being infiltrated the church in the early centuries by a man named Arius. It was refuted and determined to be heresy. This viewpoint has popped up across the centuries. and been repeatedly refuted. It is called Arianism.

I do not want to include here my own Scriptural refutation of Arianism as the site Pulpit and Pen does a good job of it. I googled Scriptural refutation of Arianism to find this site. I encourage you to check this out.

God speaks of giants in the Old Testament Gen 6:4.

Genesis 2 explains from God, the generations of His creation. Hope this helps Trinidad. God bless

Amen Gigi.

I believe you hit the nail right on the head.

This is nothing new, It takes conviction from the Holyspirit to repent. All can be done by us for the individual is pray for them. I've been busy the last couple of days.

I will share some more tonight.

God bless.

Kathy,

I did reply to your question but it did not show up on this thread. It appears on page one of the Discussion comments.

Bro Dan

Please see my response above in this thread. I think I hit the wrong reply button.

When we realize that Jesus knows everything about us! When you come too that realization, you have stepped into your destination.

Understanding the love of God is incomprehensible!

The woman at the well questioning Christ, how will He get this water? "If you knew the gift of God"!

These words are gifts of His will toward man. Sitting beside a well full of water that we all need to have to live. He proclaims we need more than this water, we need the water only He can give! Living water!

This water we have nothing to draw with, for it is a gift from Him that is a wellspring unto everlasting life!

You, who are the well spring know this life we have in this water.

For, We cannot live without it!

Repent and be Baptized

Romans ;11

Read it, the answer to his question is yes.ISRAELandjews are totally destroyed and he is the Antichrist of his, and he change the commandments and circumcision.john and peter was fighting against him and. Warn the world. they continue

The deception we are in today. The witnesses in Jerusalem are now fulfilling Rev.11 ;1-8.take note and read KJV only

Amen and Thanks Bro Dan.

Even when it's a parable ir a allegory or what ever that spiritual insert will not make the Lord a killer or a crooked judge.

This type of onslaught is nothing new. I just ignore direct confrontation with this evil. And try to represent the majority of the Good people on this site so when new people come on they can take it serious instead think we all have those devilish views.

Thanks and God bless.

Good Afternoon, Bro Dan. I agree with you wholly. The Bible writings include many different literary genre's. I f someone is unsure whether the bible passage is meant to be taken in a way other than literally, then they can use the internet to get help with that from reputable Bible scholars.

But we know that some will not do so, trusting their own fallen minds and hearts and saying these are being led by the Spirit and they don't need anyone else to help them understand the Scripture.

Also, You and I and most likely others know that when Paul was talking about the letter killing in 2 Corinthians 3:6, he was talking about the O.T. Law (verses 3-11 to read the quoted Scripture by Alex in context) which condemns all of us because we have all broken this law, therefore bringing the penalty of sin on us, which is death.

Paul was not speaking of the written words of Scripture in both the O.T. and the N.T., otherwise the Scriptures that record the words of our Savior, Jesus, would be lethal, too, but He said that His Words are Spirit and Life ( John 6:63). We know this is not true. And we know that those who say that Paul was referring to the written words (letters) of Scripture kills are using this illogical view as a smokescreen to excuse themselves from refutation and to give creedance to the erroneous way they interpret much of Scripture as being allegorical, prophetic, and illustrative of deeper, hidden meanings and the way they mish-mash isolated Scriptures together, spattered with their erroneus interpretations to create a narrative that (like you said) rarely makes sense, is illogical, and does violence to the actual God-inspired Words He had the writers write with the context and genres He directed them to write.

Thank you for your response to A. I appreciate that you did.

Amen and thanks Richard.

Great truths God bless you.

Not a sin if in moderation, which to me means minimal. I believe things God intended for us which are good can be abused and used to harm ourselves or others and that is sin. Food = can be used for obesity, feed additions, or idolatry. Money = can be abused and used for greed, coveting, idolatry, etc. Sex intended within confines of one lifelong marriage can become adultery, fornication, lust, etc.

Some things are like playing with fire, with very little benefit with an enormous downside risk. People know their own temperaments and weaknesses for whether some are appropriate for them to dabble with.

Bro Alex,

I realize there are parables, allegories, and metaphor's intertwined in the bible. But for the most part, there are also logical and literal explanations for most. When Jesus spoke in parables he also took His time to explain the logical meaning of the parables so that we can understand the meanings - in the literal sense! Correct? God wants us to understand His Word!

The book of Revelation is a good example of these allegories, of which you speak. We really can't hope to decipher the exact meaning of each of the Apocalyptic revelations, or the bizarre imagery, and symbolic representations of reality, but we can "literally interpret" some of it. Example: in reading Revelations we know that God is going to end this earth as we currently know it - and He has said he will create New Heavens and Earth. So if we are to believe God Words, then we are believing this literally - Correct?

When we start trying to read between the lines, emphasizing some scripture, and discarding other scripture, and molding the scripture to mean something that we "secretly envision", "seeing hidden meanings" that's taking a path that can lead to confusion, including distorting the bible scripture that would inevitably render the scriptures meaningless for most people to understand.

Lastly, I believe the Bible is God's Word to us, and He meant His Words to be believed by us - literally and completely.

God Bless.

S Steven its you that makes his blood of no effect by preaching our conduct takes us to heaven...When its only by the blood of the lamb that saves us....When we were yet sinners Christ died for us, all of us...He paid the price for everybody...and not only us but every person....Jesus is the propitiatiton for our sins and not our sins only but for the sins of the world world...1 st John 2 : 2

.....Steven you have contempt for that lake of fire...That refiners fire and fullers soap which is the H.G...Baptism of the H.G. and Fire....You do not realize its what we need is that cleansing fire....Satan fears that refiners fire and fullers soap....its the end of his kingdom that is within us...Its an internal fire as we need to be washed internally..Water Baptism is an external washing but to be baptised with the H.G. AND FIRE IS INTERNAL...As our new heart and new spirit is internal.

....What he did at Calvary is for everybody and anybody....When we yet sinners Christ died for us ALL of US

...The very fact that he makes his rain and his sun to shine on every person, no exceptions....Proves we are all gonna be saved in the end....Jesus cd not teach us to forgive our debtors if he didn't forgive all his debtors humanity this world..

...When his blood dropped on the earth its was just prophetic that this whole world is gonna be made clean by his BLOOD...Thats y he said if i belifted up i will draw ALL men unto me.

...In Adam we all died but in Christ we will ALL live...The scripture cd not even refer to Christ as being that 2 nd Adam if his blood was not applied to every man....AUTOMATICALLY IN THE END WHEN THE BOOK IS OPENED....The vert fact that Paul a murderer was saved when he didn't even have salvation on his mind proves God is gonna save every person in the end...He is gonna pour out his spirit on all flesh wither ya want it or not..As mans carnal mind is not subject to the laws of God AND NEITHER INDEED CAN BE...Thus its gona be to everybody everyman. GBU

Kathy:

Man doesn't go to a PLACE, heaven of hell.

John 3:13 No man has ascended up to heaven, except he that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which now IS IN HEAVEN; IN MAN.

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

We are JUST A BODY; THE NEW HEAVEN, where the LIFE of CHRIST dwells.

When he pulls THE LIFE out of the BODY (human flesh) that fleshly bodies dies.

The LIFE goes back to God who gave THE BODY LIFE.

When we depart this fleshly body we instantly are GIVEN a NEW BODY, the BODY of CHRIST.

.

The kingdom of heaven is IMMORTAL LIFE.

The only man that has IMMORTAL LIFE is Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:38 ...and to every SEED, HIS (CHRIST) OWN BODY ......

John 14:6 I am Life ....

Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods, the children of the most high,

Psalms 82:7 But ye (flesh and blood, this earthly body) shall die like one of the princes ...

LIFE can never DIE, only this body of flesh DIES: LIFE continues in a NEW BODY.

God Bless YOU!

believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved/ Acts 16;31. No mention of calling on the name of the Lord or repentance in true biblical salvation.

When does God send a man a wife?

Thanks for reminding us that was in the Old Testament!

literal means without allegory or parable or metaphor....But without a parable our lord did not speak to them... Mark 4 : 34 kjv...Thus we cannot take the bible literal....Simply b/c its packed with parables and allegories and metaphors....Without a parable he spoke not unto them.....k

Romans 14:7-12, Philippians 2:1-11, Matthew 7,

Hopefully these are helpful

In genesis 1;27 the bible states God made mankind and instructed them to multiply. In Genesis chapter 2 he created Adam and Eve. There were humans before Adam and Eve?

If God abhors evil and is always against it then why does Isaiah 45:7 state, "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." I understand that God does all things at all times but why does it state that He created evil? Isnt that going against God's stance on evil? Thank you for your time and God bless.
