Hope these are helpful

The Bible says to " Place Yourself on The Alter of Sacrifice" That is a word that is not used much today. Not many are willing to even Sacrifice the few hrs. Per week to attend Church. We can sit mindless in front of a TV or Screen for hrs. But we have no time to Study to show ourselves approved. That we have a solid understanding of God's Word. We can shop, play golf,hunt, school ,exercise and any number of activities. But we have no time to Pray. The most common excuse for all the above. I'm too tired. We act like the World, dress, go to the same places. But yet God said ,,Come out from among them and be ye separate, be different.

But just like Israel we want to be like all the other Nations, People, kids, The Churches. I know how stupid it is for me to get Marked all over my body with ink. But I want to fit the in. It's all called Sacrifice. It's amazing to me the Sacrifices People will make for job advancement, to get in shape. Spend thousands on clothes, hair, cars, lands, material goods. But won't give God the Tithe, and now we are carrying a curse. I think of all the Heroic Men and Women who have sacrificed their lives for a Freedom we take for granted.

Therein lies, the dilemma,Jesus said"Whom The Son hath set Free, he is Free indeed". But that Freedom came with The Sacrifice. And to maintain it, certain Sacrifices will have to be made. I'm not Knocking anyone who plays Golf, it's not a sin. But every weekend I would take off early and come home late, usually drunk. But when I gave my Heart to God, I started going to Church on Sunday, suddenly, I wanted to be home on Saturday. I battled quitting the Addiction of Skoal, it was tough. But God's grace is sufficient. In 1996, I lost to Drink,Smoke, Curse. I'm still a work in progress, I don't have time to tell of the fasting, other things God said put them to the side. We don't Serve Please-us . We serve Jesus.

God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are One = the trinity.

Who prey tell WHO is judging you ULTIMATELY, I don't care what you think I am

Thank you that i can read the Bible on line and the king James is my favorite version. It has been of great blessing to me . Remember me in your prayers.

Lemme give ya my view on Baptism...When Jesus asked that woman at the well for drink he said whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst Again...Thats salvation by water baptism...But H.G. BAPTISM IS A HEAVENLY WATER WHICH IS THE GIFT OF GOD

But the water that i will give him shall be a well of water springing up unto everlasting life...Thats H.G. Baptism...Our thirst for Salvation cannot be quenched by Water Baptism...But only by H.G BAPTISM....There is only 1 baptism of PROMISE which is H.G. baptism...The gift of God the Promise

......When Jesus said behold i send the Promise of my Father upon you that was baptism of the H.G....Which was the birth of a baby Christ the H.G that Child of Promise...As he said that which is born of the spirit is spirit thats the H.G. THE CHILD OF PROMISE..The multiplication of Christ in humanity via his seed his WORDS..His breath,..When he breathe on them he was propagating very God which is the H.G. THAT CHILD OF PROMISE...Thats y Jesus is saying unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in...Thats y we refer to the H.G as the Child of Promise...He is the multiplication of CHRIST IN US VIA HIS SEED THE WORD....The Granson the beginning of an Israel of God born in humanity.

.....Jesus cd not refer to the H.G. as the Promise if he were not the multiplication of Christ in humanity...The Son of man...Mankinds fruit unto God.

.....That was the original Promise when God swore by himself...I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven...Thus the H.G. wants to be born in us via the seed of Christ Jesus...Thats y the new birth is so important...Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child...You will in no wise enter there in....i know that i am being repititious but i cannot help it i am obsessed with the seed of the Sower and baptism of the H.G. THE Promise...That living water..We are gonna have a Baby...She brought forth a manchild...which is the H.G....Emanuel...I see in the spirit.

Adam,

Thank's for the reply. My apology if I offended you. Now that I know that you are sensitive about someone disagreeing with you, I'll be more careful. Maybe just saying I respectfully disagree would be better? I am not disagreeing that everyone will have their day of judgement. We will all stand before the Lord one day. I just don't believe that both believers and non-believers get judged together at the same day. 2 Corinthians 5:10 is for believers only. This is the Bema seat of Christ. This judgment for believers is to determine their reward. It's described in 1 Corinthians Chapter 3. Believers pass through the fire, and whatever is of Christ, we will receive a reward, and whatever is not will burn, but we as believers will be saved ( 1 Corinthians 3:15). I'm glad you mentioned Revelation 20:12-15. To answer your question, yes, it does indicate multitudes will be judged at once, but multitudes doesn't necessarily mean both believers and non-believers together. It just says multitudes. So who are they? According to the verses that precede this, these multitudes are non-believers who will be at the Great White Throne judgment ( Revelation 20:11). They are resurrected after the 1,000 reign of Christ, and they (multitudes) will be judged and cast into the lake of fire. They don't take part in the first resurrection. There will be no believers at this judgment because this resurrection takes place after the 1,000 year reign, and Revelation 20:6 tells us that we (believers) take part in the first resurrection, the second death has no power over us, and that we will be reigning with Christ for 1,000 years. While we are reigning with Christ, all the non-believers are still in the grave awaiting their resurrection and judgment. Everyone at that judgment (Multitudes) will be cast into the lake of fire. No person at the GWT judgment will escape the second death in the lake of fire.

Amen Brother Jesse.

We can take those messages right down where the rubber meets the road. They are also messages to the individual.

( HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.) Revelation 2:7.

God bless.

Jesus Christ was God from all eternity past, is so in the present, and ever will be. He did not need to be 'born again' for He was and is God. For Jesus to have to be 'born again' would imply that he had a corrupt sin nature - and that, He did not. He bore our sin but He had no sin in Himself. He ever had the Spirit without measure.

We are born again by the incorruptible Word of God, 1 Peter 1:29. When the uncorrupted Word of God is preached, and heard, God the Holy Spirit brings conviction to the hearer(s), reveals Christ to the hearer(s), makes the hearer(s) see their need for a Savior, and drags them to Jesus to be saved.

God the Father gave His only beloved Son to be our Savior.

Jesus had promised that when He would ascend back to heaven, He would not leave His people orphans, but send the Holy Spirit. We do not have Jesus physically with us yet; we have the indwelling of the Spirit.

Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven.

Is this not clear, then, that there are Three persons in one Godhead?

Study to show yourself approved unto God, workmen that needeth not be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the Word of truth.

John

Read 1 Corinthians 6:9; Revelation 22:15 to name a few verses that speak to sexual immorality, of which homosexuality is one such form of sexual immorality.

These are Jesus's words to His Apostles

1 CORINTHIANS 12

26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily PROPHETS, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

We shouldn't dispute any scripture. If what a prophet prophesies DOES NOT COME TO PASS, do not fear that prophet. If it is of God, it will come to pass.

There are still some unfulfilled prophesies in the Bible. There are lists on Google of the prophesies (separated by OT and NT, which scriptures that show them fulfilled or not.

Jesus took the wrath of God at the cross; and when his life ended; he said "it is finished" thus overcoming through His perfect sacrifice for our sake. Christ was to then go to the paradise section of hades; as He stated to the thief on the cross "today you shall b with me in paradise." He then went to set the captives free; as I believe Peter stated. He was; on his arrival there in His Spirit form to proclaim to those who were bound and already awaiting judgment (all lost and Nephilim; fallen angels in chains in the torment part); that He had triumphed over Satan; who now no longer holds the power of death (or restriction from entering heaven itself). Accordingly; He who is now absent from the body is present with the Lord if saved. He then; of course arose from the dead and many of the saints at that time apparently rose from the dead (a sort of first of the firstfuits). The souls of the saved O.T. saints would have been also able at that time to enter into heaven. That would of course also include the thief who would have had the shortest visit to paradise ever.

Therefore; the message given there was a proclamation; it was too late for it to be a salvation message. Now; there is only a torment place in hedes; where the prisoners await final judgment at the White Throne Judgment.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

Lev. 1:10-17 Those who could not offer a bullock, were to bring a sheep or a goat; and those who were not able to do that, were accepted of God, if they brought a turtle-dove, or a pigeon. Those creatures were chosen for sacrifice which were mild, and gentle, and harmless; to show the innocence and meekness that were in Christ, and that should be in Christians. The offering of the poor was as typical of Christ's atonement as the more costly sacrifices, and expressed as fully repentance, faith, and devotedness to God. We have no excuse, if we refuse the pleasant and reasonable service now required. But we can no more offer the sacrifice of a broken heart, or of praise and thanksgiving, than an Israelite could offer a bullock or a goat, except as God hath first given to us. The more we do in the Lord's service, the greater are our obligations to him, for the will, for the ability, and opportunity. In many things God leaves us to fix what shall be spent in his service, whether of our time or our substance; yet where God's providence has put much into a man's power, scanty offerings will not be accepted, for they are not proper expressions of a willing mind. Let us be devoted in body and soul to his service, whatever he may call us to give, venture, do, or suffer for his sake.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

His crop with his feathers - The weight of authority is in favor of the marginal rendering. It is most probable that the feathers were burned with the body, and that the wings, mentioned in Leviticus 1:17, were not mutilated.

Hello sir or madam, I am happy to dialog with you if you share your name so I know who I'm communicating with and if you are respectful. Just saying someone is "incorrect" without any scriptures to back it up isn't getting off on the right foot, however.

I believe all will be judged on a particular day because the Bible says the phrase "day of judgment", "the day when", the "last day". It doesn't say there's multiple days of judgment or a week or month or years of judgment, or that judgment is only whenever you die. Here's some examples:

1 John 4:17 "day of judgment"

Matthew 12:36 "day of judgment"

2 Peter 2:9 "day of judgment"

Matthew 11:22 "day of judgment"

2 Corinthians 5:10 "we must all"

Romans 2:16 - "the day when"

John 12:48 "last day"

Revelation 20:12-15 is a vision, but that verse also indicates multitudes judged at once does it not? So, the scriptural support is strong. Do you feel you have just as much scriptural support against this? Do you know of any verses that say the the opposite?

Aside from being a particular day, you questioned that all will be judged, and suggested 2 different judgments.

We also know this judgment is for everyone, because in verse 15 it says those not found in the book of life were cast into the fire. So, this event sorted people. It doesn't say that in this judgment ALL went to hell or ALL went to heaven. A judgment is a judgment of each individual "according to their works" and determines where they go according to verse 15.

"If that's what you are saying, then that is incorrect."

If your belief is based on scripture then please share it. If your belief is not based on scripture then you have greater concerns.

"Otherwise, how are we to know if what you believe is the correct truth?"

Since you didn't provide any scriptural support someone is more likely to ask you this.

God bless.

Thank you, this verse seems clear also.

Amen. Prophecy in the Bible is still ongoing but the last recorded authenticated prophecy was Revelation. To those stating there are prophets beyond John the beloved, I'd ask, "what prophesy are you adding to what's already been told or what do you choose to remove?"

There's a strong warning In Revelation 22: 18&19 to anyone claiming to be a prophet today.

So far, every response only confirms my question: yes, she was at the tomb, etc. But...my question remains UNanswered. There is nothing in the NT that describes Mary's contact with Jesus until His death on the cross.

Where are the sources describing any contact or teaching or anything between Mary and Jesus BEFORE His death?

Hey James,

The 6th hour would have been around noon, the same time of day it went dark when Jesus was on the cross. The hours of the day, the first hour is around 7 am and they are counted up to around 6 pm with 12 hours. The daylight hours are from sunrise to sunset, and the night, the dark time of the day hours are also 12 from sunset to sunrise.

Hope this helps.

God bless,

The Gospel of Luke 8:2-3 lists Mary Magdalene as one of the women who traveled with Jesus and helped support his ministry "out of their resources", indicating that she was probably wealthy. The same passage also states that seven demons had been driven out of her, a statement which is repeated in Mark 16. In all the four canonical gospels, Mary Magdalene was a witness to the crucifixion of Jesus and, in the Synoptic Gospels, she was also present at his burial. All the four gospels identified her, either alone or as a member of a larger group of women which includes Jesus's mother, as the first to witness the empty tomb,[1] and, either alone or as a member of a group, as the first to witness Jesus's resurrection.[2]

I've read historical accounts, that in the Book of Acts, witnesses went house to house, witnessing events to others. That's how Jesus wanted it. Person to person witnessing.

She was one of the women who went to enter the tomb of Jesus and properly dress his body. She told the disciples Jesus's body wasn't there. She was in the Upper Room on Pentecost. There are records of that. I don't think she traveled with the Disciples after that, as there is no scripture for that.

When ya think of the Godhead think about Abraham Issac and Jacob...Thats y he told Moses that his name was Abraham Issac and Jacob...Abraham offered up his only son just as God Almighty offered up his only son Jesus...That ram caught in the thicket by his horns is symbolic of Christ Jesus and his Crown of Thorns.

.....Thats what Abraham means in Hebrew exaulted Father he was a type of God Almighty that wanted CHILDREN...That was the great Promise that Christ wd be multiplied as the Stars of heaven...Thus an ISRAEL of GOD....Spirits as that which is born of the Spirit is spirit which is the H.G. Emanuel God with us...

.....Just as natural ISRAEL came out of the ABRAHAMIC TRINITY....The ISRAEL OF GOD WILL come outta of the heavenly trinity Father Son and GRANSON....Just as the 12 tribes came out of Jacob the 12 manner of fruit will come out of the heavenly Jacob...Read Isaiah 49..Without this Father Son and GRANSON SCENARIO there can be no multiplication of CHRIST seed...And thats when God swore by his very self that Christ wd be multiplied as the Stars of Heaven...An ISRAEL OF GOD VIA THE SEED OF CHRIST....There wd have neva been a nation of ISRAEL WITHOUT this Father son and GRANSON...scenario

....But now we look for an ISRAEL OF GOD...THE MULTIPLICATION OF CHRIST SEED IN US SINNERS....Ya gotta realize that Christ sows a much greater seed then ABRAHAM....Thus an Israel of God the H.G. born in us....And the field is the world...Thus the woman with Child is US....NOSOTROS TODA EL MUNDO....

Trinity:

ephesians 4:4 one body, and one spirit ......

ephesians 4:6 one god, and father of all....

the kingdom of god is not a trinity but a expanding family.

jesus said that we may be one as he and the father are one.

there are many who have already become one with god during the last 2000 years, therefore there is not three.

christ was the first man born of spirit.

the holy ghost is that one spirit, the holy spirit is that one spirit, god is that one spirit.

man's seed is the sperm that comes out of his loins.

man's seed creates a flesh and blood seed, a man of flesh.

god's seed is spirit, the holy ghost, the seed of god, came upon mary and christ, the seed, of the holy ghost, was born in a body of flesh.

christ's body was crucified on the cross, and the father (one spirit) raised christ back in a resurrected body.

christ, gives us, this new birth, as a gift, the new inheritance, being born of thee seed of the holy ghost.

a child of god, in god's expanding family.

christ the firstborn, of the seed of the holy ghost, among many brethren, born of the seed of the holy ghost.

1 timothy 6:16 ....who (the seed) only hath immortality, dwelling in the light .....

god bless you!

jesus is lord

Hi Bob , I have always believed that Mary Magdalene is also the Mary of John Ch 11 , however that's just my belief . All those stories that you speak if are just that , men's imaginations working overtime . If you want to know the Truth it's best to stick to what it actually says , or doesn't say , in the Bible .

While trinity is a word not found in the Bible, it is easy to understand the concept of why this word is used in Christendom.

"Trinity', in the dictionary, means "(lowercase) a group of three; triad. (lowercase) the state of being threefold or triple.

The Godhead ( Acts 17:29, Rom. 1:20, Col. 2:9) consists of 3 persons, thus, a 'trinity", consisting of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. However, they are "One' in the sense of mind, purpose, essence, character.

Blessings!

Yes & No. We did need prophesy at the beginning of the New Covenant. Christ Jesus and His finished work brought forth the New Covenant. However, the "real" apostles (those in the New Testament) prophesied (e.g. -- 1st & 2nd Thessalonians have much prophesy concerning what is to coming during the rapture, tribulation and 2nd coming).

Those which were fulfilled by Christ before He ascended though...

His Resurrection & Ascension

The 1st verse is when these events were prophesied and the latter when they were fulfilled.

Raised from the deadPs 16:8-11Acts 2:24-31

Begotten as Son of GodPs 2:7Acts 13:32-35

Ascended to GodPs 68:18Eph 2:8-10

Seated beside GodPs 110:1Heb 1:3+13

There remain a number of prophesies unfulfilled which are written in the book of Revelation (which given to us under the New Covenant and concords with scripture as far back as Leviticus).

What prophesy has ceased? Absolutely everything after Revelation chapter 22. No one has prophesy beyond what's written in the Bible. The Holy Bible is a finished work but an ongoing prophesy. Each time someone stands up and says "I had a vision", "I have a prophesy..." this is not true.

Revelation 22:18-19

"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: 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."

That warning is to anyone who dare prophesy beyond the prophesies already written in the Holy Bible. The last prophet is Christ Jesus and none other. When John the beloved died -- this is the last God ever revealed new prophesy and with so much yet to come; how is it some are adding to this? Did they not read the warning above?

Tony:

There is flesh and blood: A BODY

There is ONE SPIRIT: IMMORTAL LIFE

Flesh and blood, the body, dies and returns to dust,

Spirit, life, CANNOT die.

Hell is a doctrine of man: If a body of flesh and blood was placed in literal fire, it would be consumed in a few minutes, there would be not eternal torment. No need for a second resurrection.

If SPIRIT (there is only ONE SPIRIT and that SPIRIT IS GOD)( Ephesians 4:4-6) was placed in literal fire, it would not be affected.

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

Lazarus and the rich man is a PARABLE.

Lazarus went to the bosom of Abraham, symbolic of the BORN AGAIN, being ONE with God.

The rich man went to the GRAVE, a gulf that CANNOT be passed over UNTIL the second resurrection of the DEAD back to their flesh, to be judged and brought to TRUTH.

There are TWO RESURRECTION, one has already occurred, Christ and those that were ORDAINED to have their part in that FIRST RESURRECTION.

Luke 20:36 Neither can they (those CHOSEN to have their part in the first resurrection) DIE ANY MORE: for they (the CHOSEN) are equal into the ANGELS; and are the children of God, being the children of the (FIRST) resurrection.

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and Holy is he that hath part in the FIRST resurrection ......

The second resurrection TO JUDGEMENT, has not yet occurred BUT:

Isaiah 26:9 ...For when thy JUDGEMENTS are in the earth (second resurrection) the inhabitants of the world will LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS.

1 Timothy 4:10 ...for we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN (even those in the second resurrection), specially those (in the first resurrection) who believe.

Romans 8:19 For the earnest EXPECTATION of the creature (man) WAITETH (second resurrection) for the manifestation of the Sons of God (first resurrection).

Romans 8:21 Because the creature (man) ITSELF shall ALSO be DELIVERED from the bondage of corruption (the GRAVE) into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

God Bless YOU!

Under the New Covenant we do not need any Prophets....The H.G. the Anointing is greater then any Prophet . As them that are least in the kingdom is greater then John ...and John was Greater then any Prophet..Of them that are born of a woman there is none greater then John...But the H.G. is a baby Christ..As he can only be born in us via the seed of Christ...The H.G. is our Prophet...As John said you need no man teach you the anointing you have received of him will teach you all things etc...Thats y the scripture is saying the testimony of Jesus is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY...And the testimony of Jesus is the H.G..and is the only Prophet we will ever need...And the H.G. IS THE Israel of God..That Child of PROMISE that will lead us into all truth.

.....And the H.G is the Gift of God. Thats y God gives us the H.G. which is the Child of Promise that Isaiah says will lead us into all truth..The Kingdom....She brought forth a man Child that will RULE ALL NATIONS...And after the woman gives birth the Kingdom comes.... Rev. 12 : 10 kjv....Her Child is the result of the sower and his seed simply b/c the sower of the good seed is the CHRIST the bridegroom..Thus a baby Christ is the H.G. That Child of Promise greater then any Prophet.

Father God Jesus the Son. And The Holy Spirit all are One equals the Trinity
