Luk 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

Luk 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

Luk 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Scripture is clear that a marriage is instituted by a man and a woman=gender; children of GOD meaning GOD the CREATOR created us and is the FATHER of us made perfect in all ways. Only GOD can destroy our spiritual beings with a consuming fire.

Spencer don't forget Jesus said in John 14 : 17 He dwelleth with you ( among you ) BUT SHALL BE WITH IN YOU....If that good seed is sown in our HEARTS as our lord said...Then the Kingdom is gona be with in us...That New Heart and New Spirit is THE KINGDOM within us not among us...The mystery of the Kingdom of God is Christ in you...abide in me and i in you...Our carnal minds is his enemy thus in order to make his enemy his footstool he had to displace our old adamic nature with his spirit with in us.

.....He cd not make his enemy his footstool unless he was within us....As our carnal minds is his enemy....Thus we will have the mind of Christ with in US.....It has to be an internal kingdom with in us.

.....An external kingdom wd be no threat to satan as our carnal minds is his enemy which is internal...with in us.

...... MAT. 13 : 19 Says the good seed is the WORD of the Kingdom and the word is sown in mans hearts...Thus the Kingdom wil be in mans hearts no doubt.....That good seed is not sown amounst us...But with in us....ok gbu

What is the purpose of gender? For 2 opposing sexes to pro-create and only in this age! Once all the souls that are to be born from above, gender is no longer needed; the whole purpose of man and woman. GOD created all living souls at the same time in 1st age for HIS pleasure; ageless body's that will never get sick or die. Our spiritual bodies (Ruach) was not born but created. Angels do not have a belly buttons for that is used only for an umbilical cord. Angels and yes before we were born of woman from above we were angels also and created in our own image. GOD the FATHER created us all with perfection and beauty that surpasses male or female physical attraction's we have in the flesh. The whole purpose of female and male (organs) is pro-create, there will be no need in the kingdom to come nor was there a need in last age for we were created. Most of social society's problems have come from domestic attraction of opposite sexes. It has caused wars and grave sin. There will be none of this negativity in the kingdom to come. People shedding countless lives because of Adultery, covertness, abominations, perversions all because of gender. GOD says there will be none of this negative elements or rudiments that cause these sins. Look around today because of gender people are so confused. If you do not do away with gender and become as angels were then there would still be all these physical attraction that has caused so much sin and destruction.

Chris plz forgive me, I love ya...You misunderstand me...i wd like to hug your neck....But Chris I can detect CONTEMPT in your posts on the scriptrues that say we are gonna be Gods...Am i right..But anyway...That was what i was getting at...I love the scriptures that say we are gonna be Gods...Like psalms 82 and John 10 etc...But anyway gbu .....((((( Chris )))))

Hi Rosa. The word 'horn' that you read in some Psalms (e.g. Psalms 92:10; 132:17; 18:2; etc), usually have reference to the horn of the unicorn (or, wild ox). I usually picture a rhinocerous in these instances & the power that this beast holds against most all land animals. So the meanings associated with 'horn', can be various, but certainly, one could use, 'power, strength, dignity' in those verses. But in Psalm 75:5, for example, it denotes 'one that is arrogant or haughty'. Keep these words in mind as you re-read those Psalms.

If God calls you to do it, He will Equip You to do it.

You need to try to live a life without controversy. You will pray for the Holy Spirit to anoint you for the work.

Without the Anointing, there is no Harvest. Without a solid Prayer Life with fasting, the seed will fail.

God will hold us responsible to teach and preach THE WORD of God. Revelation 22. It's a serious thing to be a Shepherd to Gods flock. They get born again, and you bring them up like children. They grow from baby to adult under Jesus's watch.

Try street ministry first. I did it all wrong of course. Then the Lord said to me: are you through doing it your way? I went from tears of failed efforts to the greatest harvests I could imagine.

But you have to get the newborns into the care of a shepherd (pastor). They carry the babes in arms and prayer. They guide, rescue, teach, correct, encourage in difficulties. Grow the up into a spiritual man or woman. To an age, when they themselves are reproducing Christ.

Are you ready for the task? God will make a way for you, no matter the obstacles, if He has called you.

Street preaching is a whole different call. It is not being. Shepherd. You guide them to a church who will carry them to maturity. You need to work within the church in any function: childrens church, adult women groups. Singles and married groups. Do tasks in the church. Like phone ministry, visiting elderly at home, sick at home, organize and help benevolence ministries. Churches always need helpers.

If that is beneath you, you're not ready to shepherd.

I'm not criticizing. Just telling the truth. I personally did myself. Following Jesus's steps all the way. I did all the stuff no one else volunteered for.

It was a season. My true love is street ministry.

Roman's 1:20 defines the 3 persons as the Godhead.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit; workin in unison or separately.

Working in United purpose and agreement.

The Apostle Paul wrote Godhead.

No where in the pure King James Bible, from Genesis to Revelation 22, is the names Trinity or Triune. Use the SEARCH engine, to verify.

As for me, what is in the Bible, is what it is. A choice I made. Everyone, including me, is responsible for what we believe and teach. I don't argue this, so don't email me about it. What's on the page is true.

Genesis 6

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. ...

Some people assume the sons of God in this passage refer to angels. I don't. The term "sons of God" is clearly used in the Bible to refer to angels as well as to human believers. I do not believe the passage in Gen 6 refers to godly angels having sex with human women resulting in wicked angel/human offspring. I believe a better interpretation would be that believing men had sex with unbelieving women and their offspring ended up becoming unbelievers of renown.

If not, I find it problematic to say the offspring of angels were born with the sin of Adam, knowing that sin is not passed through the mother but through the father, to the offspring, else Jesus would have inherited Adam's sin from his mother.

Hosea 1:10

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

John 1:12

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

There is a reason the Bible does not say Jesus "took our place" on the cross or in hell or that He died as "our substitute." Such wording is not completely accurate and therefore not in the Bible. Jesus took His place on the cross as a sinless substitute for the sins of the whole world because there was none other to take that place. Furthermore, Jesus did for the sins of the whole world, not just sinners, so if He had taken the place of all sinners in the world then there is no reason for any sinner to have to die for or in his own sins.

Yes, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit! One triune God.

Alex. Well, if that's what you managed to glean from my comment, then I really have no more to add. If you begin to deal with the specifics of someone's comment (even a particular verse) rather than formulate your own ideas about the comments, then we might have a basis for discussion. I was writing about two kings & the satanic spirit that was in them & worked through them. What you've written has absolutely no correlation to that.

Can you give a meaning of TRINITY

Thanks for that Suze. I agree with much that you wrote, but rather than deal with each part of it, I would ask, What is the origin of our carnal minds? What was in Paul's mind when he stated, "the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God" Romans 8:7,8: where does this carnal mind/carnal life, lived in the flesh, come from?

Is this something God has given us from our birth, or has another intruded into humanity causing us to sin against God & that sin has been passed on to all generations? ( Romans 5:12; Acts 5:3; 1 Timothy 5:14,15; 2 Corinthians 2:10,11; 1 Thessalonians 2:18; Luke 22:31,32; etc., are a few verses showing Satan's activity, from the first day till the day he is put away, & our ongoing struggle to withstand him & his devices & to live in the power & joy of the Holy Spirit).

Satan is never absent - He is present - He is at work - and working in the hearts & minds of those who choose to live according to the dictates of their flesh & not in the fullness of the Spirit. Such were the gross sins of those kings mentioned earlier - if Ananias & Sapphira could have Satan gripping their heart so as to lie to the Spirit, how much more of Satan's control over those kings & indeed so many rulers/govts of today & their workings against Jesus Christ.

Robert,

Matthew 12:40 says " For as Jonas was three days and three nights In the whale's belly so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth"

That comes to a full 72 hours not 36. Not sure I your math was off accidentally or purposefully.

For all this business of a person having to know that Christ did do this and all the suffering that he went through is a bit heavy. Yes a person needs to know that Jesus bore his/her sins on the cross, died and was buried, then on the third day he rose conquering death and hell. But the simple fact is that it isn't required to know this.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life"

Jesus hasn't been to the cross and here he is telling Nicodemus how to be saved...without the knowledge of what Jesus will go through.

Take Phillip and the eunuch in Acts 8:26-40. Yes the eunuch was reading in Isaiah 53:7 concerning the prophecy of Christ having to endure the suffering and death of the cross but when the eunuch saw water he asked. "See here is water. what doth hinder me to be baptized? and Phillip said, if thou believest with all think heart thou mayest. And he answered and said I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts 8:36-37

Acts 16:23-34 tells of the time Paul and Silas we're in Philippi, arrested and beaten with whips and thrown into prison with the jailer given orders to keep them safely. We learn that en earthquake cames and broke the foundation of the prison, with the doors opened and their bands loosed. The jailer came out and thinking his prisoners escaped was about to kill himself. Paul cries out for him to not do so.

Bringing us to verse 30, "And brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

And they said, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and they house."

That's just 2 passages showing the simplicity of salvation.

The Kingdom of God.

Part 3.

"WITHIN YOU."

The better translation would be "in your midst" or "among you." Jesus was telling the Pharisees that He brought the kingdom of God to earth. Jesus' presence in their midst gave them a taste of the kingdom life, as attested by the miracles that Jesus performed. Elsewhere, Jesus mentions His miracles as definitive proof of the kingdom: "If I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you" ( Luke 11:20).

There are three popular interpretations of Jesus' words in Luke 17:21 that the kingdom of God is within you (or among you): 1) the kingdom of God is essentially inward, within man's heart; 2) the kingdom is within your reach if you make the right choices; and 3) the kingdom of God is in your midst in the person and presence of Jesus. The best of these interpretations, it seems, is the third: Jesus was inaugurating the kingdom as He changed the hearts of men, one at a time.

For the time being, Christ's kingdom is not of this world ( John 18:36). One day, however, the kingdom of God will be manifest on the earth ( Isaiah 35:1), and Jesus Christ will rule a physical kingdom.

Jesus told his desciples to pray for the Kingdom.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Mat. 6:10.

Some say the Kingdom started in Jesus ministry.

There's several problems with that view.

1) Davids throne no longer existed then. "It still don't.

2) Revelation 20. refutes that notion. "The devil is still at large, look around.

The Millennial Kingdom is a one-thousand-year literal and visible reign of Christ upon the earth during which Satan is bound, Israel as a people is restored, and the Jewish Temple rebuilt.

Isaiah 2:1-4.

Isaiah 11:1-10.

Isaiah 65:18-25

I like this one!!

Isaiah 11:11. God will gather Israel a SECOND TIME and all this will happen.

This is being fulfilled before our very eyes! He just haven't poured his spirit on that nation yet.

God bless.

S, Spencer,

I so agree. Scriptures are so very clear that there is only one God and that there will never be any gods besides Himself.

It is audacious to promote the belief in the deification of man. I think we should not desire to become gods and should really be humble and accept our position, purpose, and constitution as a creature. Creatures cannot change in their natures. men do not become angels nor gods. What a wicked teaching.

Hey ELB,

The Hebrew word I see is helel (shining one), If I recall correctly, I believe the translators had trouble with this because Jesus is referred to as the bright and morning star in Revelation 22:16. They struggled with how to translate this proverb against the king of Babylon. The word Lucifer is from two Latin words 'lucem ferre', derived from roots LUX (light) and FERRE (to carry). I believe Greek is phosphoros or eosphoros.

I will not get into all the folklore, cultures, and myths but Lucifer was a name for the planet Venus, which is the brightest in the morning, but it was also called the evening star. Forgive me if I am wrong, someone else that has done a better study on this may can give you a better answer.

God bless,

Are women permitted to preach the word according to the bible?

The Kingdom of God.

Part 2of ?

Here's an article.

In Luke 17:20-21, Jesus says, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you"

The context of Jesus' statement is a question put to Him by His Pharisee detractors who had asked when the kingdom of God would come (verse 20).

Jesus' answer was that the kingdom of God was not coming in the manner the Pharisees were expecting. The kingdom would not be inaugurated with spectacle or splendor; there would be no great and magnificent leader who staked out a geographical claim and routed the Romans; rather, the kingdom would come silently and unseen, much as leaven works in a batch of dough (see Matthew 13:33). In fact, Jesus says, the kingdom had already begun, right under the Pharisees' noses. God was ruling in the hearts of some people, and the King Himself was standing among them, although the Pharisees were oblivious to that fact.

Various translations render the Greek of Luke 17:21 various ways. The phrase translated "within you" in the KJV and NKJV is translated as "in your midst" in the NIV, NASB, and NET; "among you" in the NLT and HCSB; and "in the midst of you" in the ESV. Earlier versions of the NIV had "within you" with a marginal note suggesting "among you." There is obviously a difference between saying "the kingdom of God is within you" and "the kingdom of God is among you."

Within you" comes off as an unfavorable translation, seeing that Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees at the time. Jesus was surely not saying that the kingdom of God resided within the Pharisees' hearts. The Pharisees opposed Jesus and had no relationship with God. Jesus in other places denounced them as "whitewashed tombs" and "hypocrites" ( Matthew 23:27).

See Part 3.

Hello! I just signed up for the KJV Bible online. I was raised on the KJVI've been a believer 55 years, but took to reading a modern text several years ago. However, I am now back to the KJV primary because I learned Scripture in the KJV and have not been successful at memorizing a different translation. So I will be refreshing my memory with verses I love in the translation I love!

Melonie asks who we trust because her heart has been broken? God is Faithful!!!!

We live in a time when trust is one of the most treasured of emotional and financial supports. Trust, which is an asset, valuable, and moral correctness which accents the person's personality and attitude is sought by so many. However, what we see today is just the opposite! who can be trusted? Temptation is running rampant upon the earth, however, how do we look to invest in the church when temptation from within the church is based today on business models which dictate many of the churches and greed is running rampant within people who work within the church? God is Faithful? Who do we trust in the world??? That is my Question Please comment!

I find no corroborating support in the Bible for assuming angels are superhumans with the ability to have sex with humans.

Reply to ELB.

Because of what Jesus said in Matt 22 I believe angels do not have the ability to have sex with humans.

Matthew 22:30

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
