what does kjb say about a nitpicker peers

Men have the same number of ribs as women 12, 6 on each side, same number as tribes of Israel-another story for another time. In the Hebrew-Heb- tsela= meaning-curve The very first surgery of the Bible where GOD created Eve by causing a deep sleep on Adam and took out the curve (Helix curve-X chromosome of DNA curve)- from Adam and created female. Giving her XX chromosome. All women today have an XX chromosome while man has a XY chromosome; DNA is only needed for organic/flesh life. It is not needed in our spiritual (ruach) breath of life body only in flesh and blood.

Satan is in everyone of us...Thats y we must be bornagain of an incorruptiible seed...Remember Jesus wd not commit himself to not one of them b/c he knew what was in man and needed not that any should testify of MAN...Thats y Jesus said outta of the hearts of man proceeds all manner of Evil...It was not just Judas or Peter ITS ALL OF US....We are ALL born with a carnal mind an adamic nature which is the very enemy of God... Romans 8 : 7 ..Satan is truly the God of this present world...And he is in our minds that y we lust after every thing we see.. Even Paul had this problem saying O wretched man that i am, with my mind i serve the LAW of God but with my Flesh ( Satan ) the law of Sin...And in Rev 2 : 13 John tells the angel i know where thou dwellest even where Satans seat is...Thats y we are in such a warfare, we war in the Spirit with Satan and his angels...Our Carnal minds is in rank with Satan...I know where thou dwellest even where satans seat is but holdest fast to my name and has not denied my faith,Even on those days where antipas was slain among you Where Satan dwellest....Satan was in their minds,..Kingdom against Kingdom...War in heaven meaning in the spirit...But when this corruptible puts on incorruption and this mortal puts on immortality...Satan will be destroyed ...No more WARFARE...This whole world is gonna be at REST and full of his Glory....As Isaiah and David spoke of.... Rev. 22 John saw no more curse impling no more adamic nature.. SATANS SEAT...Gbu

Dear Daniel.

At first Chris's answer is great.

But I want to see it from a different angle.

Lets go to Genesis 3: 4-5

V4 - And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

V5 - For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

In that statement there a lie, a truth, and something hidden. That is really evil because people see the truth and then easily accept the lie.

The lie is that Adam and Eve will not die.

The truth is that Adam and Eve will know good and evil like God does.

The hidden thing is that since people get to know evil then they cannot avoid it. They become vulnerable to it. It is not the same with God. Read James 1:13 "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:"

God knowes what evil is but He is not tempted by it. His nature is invulnerable to sin. This is a huge difference between man and God.

The lesson? There are thoughts in our minds that are ours, thoughts from God and thoughts from satan. If a thought is from God then it is about smt good. If otherwise then it may be from satan. In this case don't go to a discussion with satan when he places thoughts in your mind. You cannot win, you wiil eventually fail. Do what Jesus did when faced him in the dessert. Answered him using the Scripture, because the Scripture is the truth. Satan also tried to use himself the Scripture by twisting it but still Jesus answered back the right answer because He knew the Scripture well. Lesson for us? We have to study and learn the Scripture, what it is written, what is meant, etc. And still when a bad thought comes to your mind, nevermind if it yours or satan's, just throw it away, don't think about it, you never know where it will lead you to. There is a saying I like " We can not avoid birds sitting on a tree but we can send them away"

I've just realised something about my relationship with my oldest friend . She is very definately an atheist . We love each other very much . I've just realised that a big part of the reason she loves me and that we have stayed friends for so long , despite the fact that she is a commited atheist , is because of my Christianity , my Christianity that she definately does not want to know about . She loves me because she knows that she can trust me , she can tell me anything and I won't repeat it , I don't ever judge her and she knows she can ask anything of me and if I'm able to I will give it to her or do it for her without question or desire to be repayed in any way . And yet she doesn't want to know Christ . I think there's a word for that , is it a dicotamy ? Not sure how you spell it . Any way , what I'm trying to say is that my friend doesn't want to know Christ but doesn't realise that it is Christ who has made me such a good friend to her . It's a crazy world !

Thank you for this beautiful reminder to look to the Lord. I needed to hear this.

Dear Local ...

To my opinion when the Scriptute says that all authorities are from God, that implies that the institution of hierarchy or of governing etc was put in men's mind by God so people have organized societies, otherwise the world would have been a jungle. Government officials, Presidents /Prime Minisstets/ Kings etc (I mean the persons themselves) are not God's choise. If they were then God violates people's free will, at least in democratic societies where people vote fot their leaders. But even in authoritarian countries we would suggest that people like Hitler, Stalin and the rest were placed by God Himself??? Antichrist too??? Doesn't make sence. It is true though that God used and still uses some specific leaders for His Own good purposes.

With respect

You are never alone my brother in Christ . I love you a lot but God and Jesus love you more than any human could . They know your heart and they are always walking next to you . Cheer up , awesome days are coming , days of peace , real lasting peace for all , days of light and love and life and righteousness and truth and justice and mercy and rejoicing for everyone . You are going to see this . Days when no one will be hungry or thirsty or afraid or depressed or feel unloved or lonely . You are going to see these awesome changes and you are going to be a part of them . You are a very special and beloved servant of God and of His Son Jesus Christ . Always and forever . So.....cheer up ! Smiley face .

Context is a great thing .

I don't see it here .

Hi JF Maddox. Ecclesiastes 12:6,7: "Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." These might be the verses you're thinking of.

Or even of the hymn from the same Scripture:

Some day the silver cord will break,

And I no more as now shall sing;

But, O the joy when I shall wake

Within the presence of the King!



Refrain

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story, saved by grace:

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story, saved by grace.

(and 3 more verses)

These verses in Ecclesiastes speak of the certainty of human death (of the body & its return to earth), but of the eternality of the human spirit which returns to God.

I

would like to extend my

apologies for the delayed response to all participants that responded to my enquiry.

It is humbly appreciated.

God bless...

Sounds to me like Jesus may be calling you to evangelize? You have the burden. Pray about it.

Try to find a Church that has an active Street Ministry and intercessory prayer group.

The Book of Revelation, chapters 2 and 3

Speak about the Churches on earth in the Latter Days. I think we are definitely living in the time of the Laodicean Church.

I am a 70yr old street preacher. My feet have done some miles! Been tossed off sidewalks by "Christian Scientists" many times. With my own money, I bought tracts and made homemade sandwiches for the hungry or I bought McDonald's coupon books for handouts.

America is more churched than any other nation on earth.

Earth has had over 6000 years to be born again into the kingdom of God. There are TV Preachers on cable and local tv channels. The AM and FM RADIO STATIONS have 24hour a day preaching available.

Why be upset at people who are preaching and teaching on here? We do this because we love Jesus and care enough to answer questions and overcome the barriers people have about leaving earth to live with Jesus Eternally. We need prayer warriors. Romans 1 accurately describes last days people. They turn the tv channel because they are not nervous about eternity in hell.

If people don't know how to pray for the lost__there's a great movie named WAR ROOM that's very inspiring! It's on streaming. Look at what people feed their minds, their eyes and pollute their SOULS.

I don't want to freak you out. We're running out of time. The nation that launches a NUKE AT ISRAEL, is going to see God snuff it out and then snuff them out. Palestinians are on YouTube preaching about the MAHDI that will come on the scene and lead them into battle to eradicate Israel and Jerusalem. They are serious. It should spur us to begin EVANGELIZING the spiritually walking dead.

Israel is 9.5 miles wide. A nuke would kill almost everyone.

Hi Daniel. Your question appears quite philosophical which demands a similar response & I'm unsure mine will cut it - maybe others can share better.

I understand that man & woman (in Genesis) were created in complete innocence, having pure thoughts before God, with each other, & with their surroundings. If any evil came by them, even as Satan approached them, their thoughts towards him & his words should not have been tainted with anything impure. Even Satan's promise that they wouldn't die if they ate of that tree, & their consideration of that promise, probably still did not constitute anything evil. But when those pure thoughts & holy position before God were being contested against offerings that were not in their sphere of innocence, they had the choice of withdrawing back to God's Word (as Jesus did in Matthew chapter 4) or accede to that which made appeal to the 'flesh, eyes, life's vanities'. So, Adam & Eve did become like their Creator in knowing "good & evil", except that knowledge that was held in the realm of God, became the undoing of man who was destined to fail being led to sin.

Then what about the thoughts by the Creator? Are those thoughts from a Holy God Who could destroy masses of people or send an evil spirit to persuade a man, or even allow a test to someone to the point of breakdown, be regarded as 'evil'? Could it be that what we see as sin, fails to understand the origin & intent of the 'perpetrator'? Is there a difference when sinful man murders another and when a Holy God takes a person's life? I'm trying to, by these questions, submit that when apparent evil is seen, if it comes from a sinful man, then it is sin; if it comes from a Holy God, then His Acts are based on holiness, righteousness, & justice. So God's 'evil' thoughts are not evil, but might seem evil from a sinner's perspective. Adam & Eve were first denied such knowledge - they then succumbed to Satan - they lost their innocence - their thoughts would always be tainted.

Dear "JF Maddox"

Ecclesiastes 12:6

Stay Blessed in His Holy Name Jesus, love u in Christ. Luke 8:40-56

Beloved "Daniel", as you say it is, even in a double sense. Proclaim death and depravity and it will be like this. Proclaim peace and joy and it will be. We learn to capture the thoughts so that they do not lead to sin.

2 Corintihans 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Yes, He also created all life forms. Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Then I think: Moray eels in the depths of the ocean, the Whale and the Snake. Elephants, Crocodiles, or Piraia. When you go into that world and see everything that has been created. We also understand that this can be a picture of what we can encounter in the Spiritual world.

The only thing I can advise is to eat God's Word, ask for guidance. So that you get to know them all, for even then reveal those who do not want good.

Stay blessed in Jesus Name, love u in Christ. Luke 8:40-56

Sounds like a Poem.

It may be a poetic writing inspired by the WORD of GOD. Resemblance to GOD's timing & mercy.

Please see, these scripture, Matthew 24, Mark 13, whole chapters, 1Corinthians 15:52, Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 12:15-59, 2Peter 3:9

Hopefully these are helpful

Romans 1:18-32, Jeremiah 19:5, Romans 11:33-34, Romans 8:7, please read all of Romans 8,

Ephesians 4:14-32, 1Corinthians 2, Psalms 139, Colossians 3:12-17, Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 2:3,

2Timothy 1:7,

* Romans 12:1-2, Romans 12, Psalms 1:1

Hopefully these are helpful

AMEN

Stay Blessed in Jesus Name, love u in Christ.

Luke 8:40-56

There is no other interpretation possible other than that she is the Woman Who Rides the Beast, the Prostitute Church centered in the City of seven hills who should be the bride of Christ but is not. That's what Rev 17-18 is all about. She is responsible for the blood of the saints and ALL the abominations in the earth today. America - give me a break.

The 6th head of the beast morphed into the 7th head in 476AD when the 11th horn uprooted 3 others (Vandals, Ostrogoths and Heruli) and took control spiritually and used that power to rule all. The beast received a deadly wound in 1517 and set about destroying the Reformation using Gnosticism - humanism as implemented by Clement VII and Loyola. The RC Church became a Gnostic institution and set about making the rest of the world secular and humanistic. By 1730, Michelangelo Tambriorini, General of the Jesuits 1706-1730 "See, sir, from this chamber, I govern, not only to Paris, but to China; not only to China, but to all the world, without any one knowing how I do it". Charles Chiniquy 50 Years in the Church of Rome. Read F Tupper Saussy's book "Rulers of Evil". Only then will you understand why the world is like it is today with the revived 8th head. Of course, nobody wants to hear this, everyone has pet theories about some future Anti-Christ unaware that this theory came from a 1600 book by Jesuit Priest Ribera and picked up by cultists Irving and Darby.

Beautifully put. I believe some misunderstand, the "Coming of The LORD, Return of The LORD, THE Day of The LORD " as I did also, as dearly loved fellowship of Believers would pray for it. Maybe by Philippians 3:20, eagerly awaiting, & Colossians 4:2, That misinterpreted.

Then one day I read: Amos 5:18-24,

People long for Mercy, Justice, correct judgement that may be the root of the plea, prayer.

However Jesus instruction was pray "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven " Matthew 6:9-13,

Daniel 7:27, Psalms 145:13, John 17, note John 17:15-16, Luke 17:20-21,

Proverbs 21:3, Isaiah 56:1, Psalms 82:3, Isaiah 59:4, (context Isaiah 59), Jeremiah 22:15, * Isaiah 58,

2Samuel 8:15, 1Kings 10:9, Ezekiel 45:9, Micah 6:8,

We even as 1 person can bring justice, mercy, truth, hope, deliverance, through faith, endurance, prayer, action & being a living example

Romans 1:17, James 2, Hebrews 11, 2Corinthians 5:7, Mark 11:22-26,

We are called to bring Justice, Judgement, Mercy.

Ecclesiastes 5:8, Jeremiah 23:5, Matthew 24:3-51, Mark 13:5-37, Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 6,

Psalms 102:17, * James 5,

Hopefully these are helpful, please share these scriptures with those whom you feel led as a tool

Okay Linda. I will leave you with the Word of God & re-reading of the Scriptures. This thread is open for others to read & they too can look at the Scriptures & discern who was saying what to whom...and why, in respect to the matter you raised.

Romans 13:1-7 describes the responsibility for Christians to live in submission to the human authorities in government. The reason given is that every government leader has ultimately been established by God for His own purposes. Generally speaking, human government serves to rein in and punish those who do evil. Governments do this on God's behalf. Christians must pay their taxes to support this work God is doing. In addition, those in Christ owe respect and honor to the authorities that God has put in place. Other Scriptures, such as Acts 5:27-29, distinguish between ''submission'' and ''obedience.''

Romans 13 tackles three big areas that living-sacrifice Christians must address. First, since God puts every human authority in place to serve His purposes, Christians must submit to them; this idea comes with a particular context. Second, we must love our neighbors as ourselves. Third, we are called to live as people of the light and throw off works of darkness like drunkenness, sexual immorality, and jealousy. We are to take on the armor of light against the darkness and, in fact, take on Christ Himself instead of serving our own desires.

2 Samuel 13

David loved God, loved his family and loved his country. He was vulnerable through his deep love for all.

Amnon had a dirty old uncle encourage him to pursue Tamar (Absalom's sister). The uncle tells him what to do. Tamar tried to reason with him that as half sister, David might give her as a wife. Amnon only wanted what he'd been whipped into a frenzy for. After the rape, he didn't want anything to do with her. Nobody told David about it. David did not know what was going on, in his own household but he found out. He was angry at Absalom.

Tamar went to live in Absalom's house; in seclusion. Absalom simmered in anger 2 years before he dealt with Amnon.

Tamar is shown in David's genealogy; which is unusual.

Absalom was married? It's recorded he had 3 sons that must have died at birth because they are not in the genealogy. He had 1 daughter and he named her Tamar too. She was a woman of fair countenance like her Aunt Tamar. I don't know how long she lived.

Absalom did many many evil things. He raped all of his fathers concubines in full sight of town; and more. 2 Samuel 15

Abdalom died hanging in a tree by his long beautiful dreadlocks. Joab is fetched and he stabs Absalom in the heart with 3 arrows; the troops with him smote and slew him afterwards.

To conclude: the better question is what happened to Absalom's 1 daughter, that he named Tamar. Females were not in genealogies as a rule.

I think David's daughter Tamar died of a broken messed up life. I think In honor of her suffering, Absalom named his daughter Tamar, also. There is no record of the end of her life.

Galatians 3:13 says, CURSED is any who dies by hanging on a tree. Absalom died on a tree. Judas died on a tree. Jesus died on a tree so that WE ALL MAY LIVE ETERNALLY.

David's psalms represent a lot of heartache over his life, his kids, his choices. He loved large.

I Am Fixated ON the Words Of JESUS.

JESUS Said: Have Not I Chosen You Twelve And (ONE Of You) IS A DEVIL.

The Mouths Of 3 Disciples (Matthew, Mark & Luke) Have Established That JESUS Called Simon PETER (Satan).

In The Mouth Of 2 Or 3 Witnesses Every Word Of God Is Established.

JESUS Called Simon Peter (Satan).

Satan = A Devil

Jesus Is Not A Liar (In My Eyes).

You (On The Other Hand) Seem To Think Otherwise.

Why don't You Look Up At JESUS Now? And Tell HIM That "HE" CALLED

The WRONG Disciple, Satan?

Yes Valsa, I tend to believe that also, that Noah, his family & the animals were in the Ark for a week before the first drops of rain were seen.

Question in the KJV-- Who and why, is or are, the "higher powers" in Romans 13;1

Thanks Kay,

I too, am not a manicure, fake nail, foo-foo girl either. I like to work hard. I am learning to use power tools now that my husband is stocking his tool repertoire for upcoming retirement. Learned to use the chop saw, circular saw, reciprocating saw, drill, impact driver, in the month before my surgery. My friend and I are "in training" concerning tools. So, my husband shows me how and then I go to her house and show her and we practice on scrap wood. Kinda fun, actually. But the best thing is that my husband and I can work on projects together (and with our sons, too).

How I thank You Heavenly Father, that You are there all the time and have promised never to leave me nor to forsake me. What a great comfort it is to know that no matter where I am or what I am doing, I can call upon You, day or night, knowing that Your ears are ever open to my cries for help.

Lord, You know that there are times when I feel so very lonely. I feel that no one I know seems to understand or even cares. I realise that they all have their own problems and interests, but even those that I am closest to do not seem to understand me or show any interest in me.

Lord, I know that part of the problem is that I am focussing on myself and my own needs, instead of realising that many other people are probably feeling much the same as me, and have no one to talk to and no one who understands them.

Help me Lord, to turn the eyes of my heart toward You every moment of the day and away from myself, knowing that only You can provide the fellowship and intimacy that I crave for, and that it is You alone Who can flood Your perfect peace into my heart and reveal Yourself to me in a new and special way. Thank You for being my Comforter and Counsellor. I pray that I may draw close to You in a way that I have never known before, so that Your comfort and grace may flow through me to others who are going through a similar loneliness. This I ask in Jesus' name,

Amen :)

Well done, Mishael

There is so very much more to Abraham being told to sacrifice Isaac. It is a fore-picture of what God would have to do with Jesus at the Cross.

When Adam sinned with Eve; he forfeited the dominion and authority that God gave him. Satan STOLE it. It gave Satan authority to be upon earth. It gave him permission to do all that he did to JOB (short of murder).

Jesus set aside all of his Godhead powers and was born as a HUMAN through Mary.

Satan IS NOT HUMAN. He has to borrow bodies. Someday satan will inhabit the Antichrist's body. Demons have to borrow bodies. That's why the Holy Spirit gives us the gift of Discerning of Spirits (God, Human, or Evil).

Satan DID NOT know what the Godhead planned. If he did, he would have prevented the mob that screamed for Jesus to be crucified. He was sure Jesus was dead. However, on the 3rd day, Jesus came out of the grave with all of His powers restored.

Let me return to the CROSS. In order for Jesus to suffer OUR SEPARATION FROM GOD, he had to die. God had to turn away and not watch the horrors inflicted upon his SON. Much like Abraham did as he held the sacrifice knife above Isaac. God was showing us the future day when Jesus would take upon himself the sins of all mankind.

In his spirit body, Jesus went to hell and took the keys Satan had stolen: death, grave and hell. Jesus opened the prison and released all the people held there.

Satan has no power or authority to afflict mankind. People without Jesus as their Lord and Savior can be hurt by Satan and his demonic angels. He is ILLEGAL on this earth. He can cause calamities.

We have power through prayer to stop his illegal attacks.

God prevented Abraham plunging the knife into Isaac. He provide another sacrifice. Abraham obeyed God, and in doing so, made it possible for everything written in the Bible to happen just as it did.

The battle of Armageddon will be between Abrahams two sons: Isaac and Ishmael. Isaac is the covenant son.
