Amen Brother Alex:

2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his apistles, speaking in them of these things; in which some things are hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable do wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own DESTRUCTION.

1 Thessalonians 3:8 Then shall that Wicked (the carnal mind) be revealed, whom the lord (the Holy Ghost, truth and life) shall consume with the spirit of his mouth (born by the word of God), and shall DESTROY by the brightness (light) of HIS COMING (this mystery ...Christ in you....born of SPIRIT).

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord REVEALED?

God Bless YOU!

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

The earth is the Lord's, God has given Satan power over the earth to do what he pleases according to God's word, will and power. Satan has no power outside of God's will.

Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Also read Job.

God will always be supreme ruler over all He allows Satan to be Satan which is trouble for all in this world But the days are short for Satan and soon he go to bottomless pit forever never doubt God is Merciful and good and has all power

That Jesus died for our sins. John 3:16 and He is the only way to be saved from sin and He is the only way we become Holy. We still may sin but Jesus has us covered you won't want to sin anymore hope that helps.

Yep that's right

Dear Segun, have a look around you, I think it's obvious.

Thank you for sharing, Michael.

My Mom had been saying for years that she is ready to go to heaven and often asked why God had not taken her yet. But in this illness, God fulfilled His promise to her to take her to His house in heaven. She is standing in awe of all that God has prepared for her and those who believe!

The Bible says to die is to gain. I remember when my Father in Law , under whose ministry I was saved. He was battling Terminal Cancer. People would come to Him and say, You're going to be with Jesus, you won't be in pain any more. And He would look at them and say"Do you want to die? "

And of course, they would say, why no, I want to live. And He would answer"So do I, I want to live as long as I can. I only have one shot at this life, I want to be with my Family, friends. I plan on Finishing in Heaven , but I want to stay here a while. " That pretty much sums it up for all of us, As the popular Preaching goes. Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die.

But my Mother who had lost her speech a long time ago, scribbled on a notebook. I Want To Go Home!!!! I said " Mama, You're in no condition to go to your House. " And She shook Her head ,and pointed to the Sky. She had took all the Pain She could, and was ready to meet The Lord. I would wonder why God would allow, someone to go through so much for so long. It is truly heartbreaking to this day. But He said, I will never put more on you than you can Bare. I couldn't have borne all that. Those in Hell, there are no Titles, no regard for your deeds, accomplishments on this Earth, only suffering. But that Thief on the Cross, He will tell His Day of Salvation, when He said " Lord remember me, in your Kingdom"and Christ replied" This Very Day, Thou Shalt be with Me in Paradise"

Those in Hell, all their Greatness is forgotten. But for The Saints of God, Their Testimony will echo for a Eternity. Sampson will tell the Tale of the 2 pillars, Moses will recount the fear, dread, and then God Blew a Hole in the Red Sea. Peter will tell how He stood weeping openly, desperately and by The Grace of God fought His way back. And our Parents, and Me and You will tell The Story that never gets old

I agree with u brother

God is love and we are to love Him with all our heart , soul and mind and one another as we love ourselves and the gifts are important of course for the proper function of the church

Hi Kay,

I am doing well. My Mom died last Saturday peacefully in the hospital. I am joyful for her, knowing she is with Jesus.

Thank you for thinking of me. Our family has some work to do this weekend in distributing her belongings and clearing out the home to be ready to sell. Please pray for harmony and kind words. Thanks

You are right my brother about what you have said about love, loving one another, love our enemies and most importantly God. But the reason God gave His gifts to His children is not really about His Glory so much but for the proper function of the church. Paul described the church as the Body of Christ, as a body that each individual part has a work to do so the whole church functions in a proper way, in the way God wants. If they were not important God wouldn't have given them to us. But He did and expects us to take them and use them, I guess. So you saying that they "don't matter" opposes God's plan for His church actually. Paul says, as I wrote in my previous post, to ask for the best gifts, so how can one claim that they don't matter. Prophesy for example is according to v 3 "for edification, exhortation and comfort". So God uses an individual to give a message to a person or the church for these reasons. Prophesy is not always foretelling, it may be sometimes but not always. Did Nathan the prophet ever foretell about smt to happen in future? No but he had messages directly from God to give to king David. If God wants to talk to us, is it sensible to not want to hear? Just think about it.

Now let's talk about love. God is love, but God is also truth and God is also justice. This means that love can not exist in God separate from truth and justice. E.g. Love without justice is not not right, truth without justice doesn't mean anything, justice without truth can not exist. All three must be present in a person just like their are present in God. But truth is the Word of God, which is also what is right or wrong. If one says I want to have love then according to what God wants then one must have His truth as well, that is His written Word.

So love outside the written Word of God is not accepted. Finally if we just claim that all those things were for that time then we are never going to ask them and never going to get them. As simple as that. But why not?

GBU

EPHESIANS 4:6

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Is God the father of the Holy Ghost?

Is God the father of the Holy Spirit?

Is God the father of the comforter?

Is God the father of Christ?

Is God your father?

Hi Gigi!

You and your family have been much in thought and remembered in prayer! How are you doing?

You are cared about, and loved in Jesus, dear friend and sister!

Blessings!

"I am not sure why you keep on mentioning inner hurts. I was raised Christian all my life that is all I know."

You do this in every post I've seen. You start with a paragraph accusing or condemning someone and then try to manipulate it to sound like you're helping. I don't know how many times it needs to be said...this isn't a site for political, ideological, denominational or otherwise...conflict. Read the Comment Guidelines and ask yourself if you're coming here to help those who don't understand the Bible well in a simple way with reference to the KJV? Are you edifying the church? Or are you causing discord and preaching personal doctrines?

You could have simply written: Let's pray for all of those under the oppression of religion [Bible verse KJV]. Let's pray for those oppressors in Islam that God may have the final word [KJV verse] and that they may be saved. Let me be a light to them.

But you write these post with a multitude of words. Try humility when you're faced with a disagreement because there are plenty we can find but that's not the purpose of KJV online discussion. It's for the edification of the body and outreach to the unsaved. That's it.

Proverbs 10:19 KJV: In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

@T. Levis: Some verses were helpful, some weren't. Like Exodus 21. What's that about?

Those were laws for the O.T. Jews to follow. Looking at the track record of the Jews, they were a nasty, rebellious bunch who, even though God made himself known to them, still rebelled against God and He punished them many times.

The Jews even rejected Jesus and had him put to death.

Can we still learn from the O.T.? Yes. There's a lot of wisdom in the O.T., but some rules, (regulations, laws, statues, ordinances)

Jesus did away with. Jesus died to free us from such laws. No one will ever get to heaven by following O.T. Mosaic laws.

Gal. 4 : 1 KJV...Now i say unto you The HEIR ( THE H.G. ) ..We are just a joint heir with him but he is under govenors and tutors until the time appointed of the FATHER...Just like Jesus was under governors and tutors till the time appointed of the FATHER till he reached the age of 30...But the LORD OF ALL in this passage speaks of is the H.G. the Child of Promise...But in that it refers to him as LORD OF ALL implies he is an ABSOLUTE SON...( God) ..And the main HEIR....We are just a joint heir with the H.G.

....We were all born by the will of some man but the H.G can only be born in us via the seed of Christ Jesus...The living word..By the will of God.... Romans 8 : 17 we are just a joint heir with Christ THE H.G..

.... Whosoever receiveth one such child in MY NAME RECEIVETH ME...The Child is the H.G. that CHILD OF PROMISE.

... John 1 : 13 His name sake the H.G. is not born by the will of man nor by the will of the flesh,..Nor by the will of blood...( Jew or Gentile ) But only by the will of God.

.....This John 1 : 13 is telling us that the H.G. his NAME sake....IS gonna be BORN IN US SINNERS by the will of God not by any man...Thats y Jesus is telling us That which is born of the Spirit is spirit which is he the spirit of truth the H.G the child of Promise...Which answers to our new heart and new spirit...That new heaven and new earth..Which is Christ in us the hope of Glory.

....We are a joint heir simply b/c we are the BRIDE and he is the Bridegroom...And we are gona be made 1 with the H.G. Emanuel...The H.G. has a name its Emanuel...As the H.G is God with us....Jesus said when he the spirit of truth is come he will abide with you for ever....Thats the H.G Emanuel God with us...The Child of Promise...The multiplication of JESUS...The H.G Cannot be born with out the seed of CHRIST sown in our hearts thats y he has to know us thats when the good seed is sown in our hearts....Multiplication was the great Promise...Resulting in a baby Christ the H.G...PROMISE.

If a little Boy or Girl would come up to you and say my teacher said according to the Bible that we are to be Holy, can you tell me just like you can describe the steps of Salvation?

Thank You!

who do you think is the ruler of this world ?God or Satan

Romans 9 : 8 ...Not all Israel is Israel...Neither b/c they are the seed of Abraham are they all children but in Issac shall thy seed be called....That is the Children of the Flesh ( natural ISRAEL )...These are not the Children of God But the Children of PROMISE are COUNTED for that GOOD seed...Who are the Children of Promise...The H.G. is that Child of Promise that is the result of the sower and his precious seed that is sown in our hearts...Thats y Jesus is saying that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the H.G. a living being and the very seed of God...THAT CHILD OF PROMISE...Thats y Jesus told Nic. a Jew he had to be bornagain...

.....Had natural ISRAEL been the real children they wd not need to be bornagain of an incorruptible seed...But there was none righteousness no not one...And God wanted a perfect Israel..Thats y he sent Jesus to die for the sins of the world...That the great Promise wd come into effect...That a heavenly ppl wd be born in us which is the H.G that Child of PROMISE...As he that is born of God cannot sin...Which is the H.G. the Israel of God...That is gona be as the Stars of heaven in multitude...Thats y the new birth is so important...We are ALL gonna birth a baby Christ which is the H.G the Child of Promise...Thats y Jesus said unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child..The H.G...You will in no wise enter there in.

.....When Jesus said behold i send the PROMISE of my Father upon you that was baptism of the H.G. a birth of a baby Christ in them...Their new Innerman which was spirit the H.G....She brought forth a MANCHILD the H.G that is gonna rule all nations..As Jesus said when he the Spirit of truth is come he will reprove the world of sin and righteousness and Judgement...The Spirit of truth is the H.G. Emanuel God with us...That Child of Promise...Thats y Jeremiah saw all the world in travail and birth pains.When Jesus said b/c i have spoken these words sorrows have filled your hearts he describes Child birth.

Do you consider yourself to have faith? That is what the just shall live by.

Thanks for getting back with me....

How could Joseph quality the Lord Jesus Christ to be of the tribe of Judah, when Jesus Christ was not of his seed? Jeremiah 22:28-30..... In Matthew 1 it lets us know that the physical seed of the father determines the tribe!

God bless,

Phil

What are the 1000 foreskins' given to Saul from David after this massacre? How demeaning, yet proactive. Without an clear answer, I would say that it would not be circumcisions', for if it were, the Philistines would have not perished!

In the Viet Nam conflict, this would become a common practice of castration. Castrating the enemy , even removing the ears, carrying them around ones neck as a trophy. The atrocities of war, searing the conscience.

Each generation shall learn and shall not pass until all things be fulfilled!

Jesus asked His disciples , "who do men say that I Am"?

The power in the confession of such men, will cause the world to turn upside down. That the prophecy once again as the sands that flow through an hour glass, will once again never ever end and shall prevail, as long as heaven and earth exist. The lunacy to think outside of the prophecy is walking in the darkness that soon will come to those who do not believe! They have killed the prophets, but remember He has reserved the best for last! Jesus shall return in the power of His might with all His Holy Angels!

If you do not believe the prophecy, then you are the enemy, neither can you belief the trinity found in the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Repent and be Baptized

Sad. Story from Jesus and all you worry about is the oil and wine. Sad.

Hi Melissa. 'sostanza' is not an English word. We can see it in the Italian language & it almost always refers to 'substance or matter'. In the Italian Bible we find examples in Daniel 7:1, Luke 8:43, Luke 15:13, Hebrews 10:34. The sense of 'evil' is not found there.

This second part of this chapter cannot possibly be referring to satan because God tells Ezekiel to take up a "lamentation" upon the king of Tyrus. "Son of man, take up a LAMENTATION upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him......"

Ezekiel:28:12a

A lamentation is defined as "a passionate expression of grief or sorrow." Just why would he be "lamenting" over the supposed destruction of satan if this were the case? We lament or there has always been lamentations for humans and cities being destroyed...never satan! It's all in the Bible regarding the examples and principle of what lamentation was and scripture doesn't contradict itself...it INTERPRETS itself. I find that just one word that we find insignificant in scripture actually is the key to bringing clarity to the passage.

I do believe God is speaking in symbolism to the king of Tyrus but to an actual person. It's poetic like most prophetic words given to the children of Israel were poetic. In Hosea, God is speaking to them and calls them a backsliding "heifer". Is He saying they are LITERALLY a heifer? No!

The first half of the chapter still can't be referring to satan because God is saying this prince of Tyrus is saying he is God when he's but a man and we know satan is not a man! He goes on to say that when God sends men to slay him will he tell them before they do it that he is God? They will see he is just more man because he will perish like a man. Once again...this cannot be referring to satan because this is not how his ending will be according to RRRevelation.and in Isaiah .

I ifirmly believe the Bible is a spiritual Book and spiritual language can only be understood by the Spirit of God revealing what things mean in the Word so we aren't misinterpreting things. Also context is very important!

Hello Deborah. Are you enquiring about the meaning of this passage (btw, Amos chapter 3 only goes to verse 15)?

If so, the Prophet Amos, who was actually a sheep-herder ( Amos 7:15), was called by God to give Israel another stern warning (chapters 3 to 6). If they didn't change their ways & begin to honour God rather than play with idolatry, the Judgement of God still stood against them.

Bethel was no longer a holy special place (as it was for Abraham & Jacob) but a city given to idolatry. So in the passage you've asked explanation for, God tells Amos to proclaim to wicked Israel, that their judgement & captivity is certain. God will destroy the altars that they created in Bethel, not for godly worship, but to idols. They probably still had the true altar there, but others were raised as well. The "horns of the altar", where once the blood of the sacrifice was poured upon, would now be cut off & cast upon the ground. And if that wasn't enough to alert them & bring repentance & change of worship, even the grand houses of those of wealth (wealth no doubt accrued from idolatrous practises & corruption) would be destroyed. These were houses that some had for the Winter & Summer seasons & houses laced with ivory & precious metals (King Ahab of Judah built such a house: 1 Kings 22:39). All these will come to an end, when they would be destroyed & the people be taken into captivity.

Ohhh yes, thank you, this helps, I think my problem was that I was reading the Bible backwards like a manga. Much appreciated!

God saw how man struggled with following commandments and laws so He sent Jesus to die for our sins and by doing so also made it as plain and simple as possible when Jesus said: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets." ( Matthew 22: 35-40).

I thought the same thing. God is always with a capital G.

I think you are pulling our legs , one of mine has bells on .
