Psalms and Proverbs

King Solomon wrote most of it

1 Kings 4:29-34

And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.

And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

The two witnesses will be here after the tribulation.

Jesus' coming is right after the sun and moon are darkened also known as the Lords Day

Read Mathew 24 Jesus answers the question of what will happen in the end and in sequence.

And more specifically read Matt 24:29-30

The book of revelation matches up perfectly.

Read it with no preconceived ideas.

God's Word is AMAZING and the truth.

Please, give the Book, Chapter and Verse of the expression telling us that God's Word is to be "rightly divided."

Thank you.

The U.S. 9and Europe for that matter0 has gone for the ways of the world rather than the Word. It is sad for me as one who lived

during the late 50's/60's and how our society cared more for God's way. But all the people I grew up with are the ones who turned

the tide and taught it to their children and now grandchildren. So, the slippery slope got slipperier as the decades rolled

over.

But I do believe that God knows and has a plan. He is sovereign and will bring glory to Himself no matter what man does.

I admire the believers in countries like China, who are under Communist or dictator rule. It is difficult and dangerous for them to

practice their faith and win converts. Those in Arab countries are definitely persecuted and martyred. I want to have faith to

endure to the end and not be swayed by the pressures of society or government.

Good day i truly believe Jesus was say that if you believe in Gods words, in know that it comes from God himself, you on your way to be save from being condemn but you also have to be born again. die in the flesh, so you can live in the spirit. If i am not right please someone give more insight. I leave you in Jesus name.

Well, you two have learned a very valuable language! I never learned another language other than English. If I could choose one now, I'd choose Greek. I do think it would take me many years to learn it fluently. So you two are valuable to us on this site.

Giannis,

I know that there are slight variations in these creeds depending on denomination or era. I do love the way these doctrinal truths are set within these creeds. It puts together the core of what we believe along with Christians through the ages. (the communion of saints). When I get sidetracked into the weeds, it is good to return to these core beliefs notated in Scripture that bring me back or the conversation back to the beautiful "basics". I do think there was God's wisdom in causing these creeds to come to be. But, like I said before, they are not straight up Scripture and any creedal statement should be put up against Scripture to see if It indeed truly reflects the teachings of the Word of God. There are many, many creeds out there and anyone can write one, but the test is if they align with the Word.

Good even in your comment you spoke about watched speeches. aim truly interested in do the same. For one so i learn to speak more elegant and to be able to articulate my thoughts and ideals more effectively. i grow up when meeting a person, we talk face to face and had conversations. Now it seems as though most people prefer texting and social media activity. I also believe that God is also preparing me to preach, teach and warn. It not too many mentors that you can trust to lead you right.

May you Continue to be cover with blood of Jesus. Amen

A person as me why do God Call Jesus Son If Indeed Jesus Is God.

Dear Kelly

What do you mean with God's human vision? Do you mean what is like to see a vision? What do you see and how is it?

Dear A Wife.

The situation in Europe is worse than the US, especially in central and northern Europe. The vast magority of Europeans are completely atheists. They hardly know anything about God and Jesus Christ. They never go to church. Real Christians are considered as old minded extremists/fanatics/outcasts. Europeans adore believing that their grandpa was a chimp, their grand grandpa a sponge and their 3Xgrandpa a nothing. This is what they get tought in schools from the very begining of their school lives. A complete nonsense. People claim they know a lot and are wise but believe in nonsense. How true is nowadays what apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 3:19-20 & 1 Corinthians 1:18-21. Same where I live, people although labeled christians, know almost nothing about what is written in the Gospel and their lives are completely irrelevant to God's way. There aren't many real christians and a lot of them are drifted towards world's beliefs, especially the young generations. Nothing can break this chain unless God shows His power. This is our prayer during these times here. We pray and ask God to give His children the Gifts the First Church had been given. To rise people like Paul, Peter, Philip and the rest who performed miracles, even Paul's shadow performed miracles, and preach God's Word with authority. And we have promises from the Lord that the miracles that the ancient church saw will be repeated before the end. But we have to be in the right position for God to trust and use us. God Bless You sister.

I thank you for encouragement and the word of God. If you find a little time daily or when you can you continue to share.

Iam truly hungry for the word. Especially bring to me on personally level so i can understand, apply and delivery it.

How would you counsel Tamar, Amnon, Absalom, and David in 2 Samuel 13?

How would you counsel Tamar?

Giannis:

The four kingdoms seen by the prophet Daniel:

#1 Babylon

#2 Medes and Persians

#3 Grecia

# 4 Kingdom of God

Man's doctrine teaches the seven years of anti-christ; God's word doesn't teach that.

Most misapply Revelations and Daniel, you have to put lots if other verses together to come to truth.

Like the puzzle you spoke of.

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach ...for the kingdom of heaven is AT HAND (HERE NOW).

According to man's teaching anti-christ is still future.

Revelation 22:10 ..the time is at hand.

Daniel spoke of FOUR kingdoms: Christ said the forth came when John began preaching.

This nullifies the anti-christ as the fourth kingdom; Daniel would have had to seen five kingdoms.

God Bless You!

Hey GiGi,

Thank you, I did read your reply to Jay, I read most of your posts and others as well. I agree, it comes from the Old Roman creed that scripture supports. Over hundreds of years, it has been added to. "descended into hell" was added for an interpretation of 1 Peter 3:19-20. The one thing I do not agree with is the word "spirits" nowhere in scripture is the dead called spirits or being in prison, and it is not clear this happened while Jesus was in the tomb.

The communion of saints was added, in short, this is spiritual unity of the faithful on earth, the souls in purgatory, and the saints in heaven in the unison of the same body under Christ it's head. My understanding, there is no knowledge after death until the resurrection when Jesus returns.

The Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed are mainly about God as a trinity God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The first lines of the Athanasian Creed say this, "Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith. Which faith unless every one do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly"

It puts the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed mandatory for salvation and I have not found any scripture that confirms this. My understanding is this puts these creeds above and before the gospel of Jesus Christ plus if we look at history, how many lives have been taken under the words anathema and heresy due to these creeds. Brings to me Nicolaitanes Jesus spoke of in Revelation. I understand the word catholic.

Jude 4 is good, one of the reasons in my heart I feel if I call Jesus God, I deny the Son, 1John 2:22 2 John 1:9 also 1 Corinthians 15:28.

I do not think you are being contrary, I appreciate your reply, we are to love and encourage each other how else can we grow. If we agree or disagree if it is in love.

God bless,

Does the KJ Bible tell us or give clues as to how old the Earth is? Or maybe how long between Genesis 1:1 and the birth of Jesus Christ?

I tried researching the topic on the internetThe general consensus of Christianity I found was as follows:

1.God creates everything (including earth, the heavens & all living beings) in 6 days then rests on the 7th.(Genesis)

2. Jesus is sent from heaven to earth (approximately 4000 years later)& lives approximately 33 yrs. After resurrecting from the dead 3 days later, he ascends back up to heaven. This event (1-A.D.) marks the beginning of the calendar we currently use today.

Using the above references3

4000+33+2021= 6054 years since creation.

Does the Bible actually say anything to contradict the (30 minutes of) research I performedor possibly interpret the passing of time differently?

Chris, I probably worded what I was trying to say incorrectly. I'm not trying to say the law wasn't done away with, as I was actually talking about the Sabbath, which is included in the law, but was given centuries before the law was given to Moses. So doing away with the law has nothing to do with God giving the Sabbath to Adam and Eve and their children, who continue to this day. Christ keep the Sabbath until his death, and if you read the Ten Commandments you'll see you honor nine of them.. And I, like you, will stop for now as we both see things in our on way. We'll finish this discussion in heaven in the near future.

Bernie,

In John 5:24, Jesus is summarizing everything He just said by saying that you must believe in me and the one who has sent me. You have to take us together as equals. If you reject either one of us, you will be condemned!

The words "Usury" & "leasing" mean to make money from additional fees like "interest rates" additional profit from the person "giving" usury is "unusualy high rates" Leasing also meaning lying, falsehood.

Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:35-43, Deuteronomy 23:19, Ezekiel 22:12,29,

Psalms 15:5, Proverbs 28:2,

Ezekiel 18,

Hopefully these are helpful also

Thanks Richard.

God bless you and all you do.

what is the meaning of john 5:24

t's OK GiGi, the Necene Creed is exactly as you quoted it in your post.

A clear millennial psalm. We have Christ ruling and reigning as designated in the authority of God in the first four verses. As long as the sun and moon endure His fear shall be throughout all generations; which would exemplify the physical offspring that will continue until the end of the 1000 years. (As a side note; even after that period it is said that there is no NEED for the sun and moon-whether they are restored as some eternally lasting form of what they currently are is up for debate in the end of Revelation). The righteous enduring and "abundance of peace" in verse 7 once again is shown to last "as long as the moon endureth." Verse 8 about dominion from sea to sea again; would terminate after there is "no more sea" according to Revelation 22. The next few verses show submission of the kings of the earth and presents being brought in where the Messiah reigns. Delivering the poor and needy; once again is something not needed after the eternal Kingdom comes into place; nor delivering their souls from "deceit and violence" (v. 14). The verse about "prayer for him" in verse 15 seems a bit odd. It probably corresponds with the praising of Him; in asking that, perhaps others who are coruling under His authority will be found to be a blessing to whom He can delegate responsibility. It is interesting to note that as far as I can tell no one prayed for Christ anywhere in scripture even when He endured His fateful hour of death. He certainly prayed to God and now intercedes for us in heaven. Fruitfullness is indicated in verse 16; and of course verse 17 indicates that His name shall be continued as long as the sun. Certainly for all eternity beyond the 1000 years He will continue to retain this status; as to the sun enduring; other verses in Psalms seem to indicate perhaps it will. ( Psalm 72:17)-etc.

Giannis,

Yes, I agree with what you wrote. Also, no worries on the lettering. I do own a copy of the Textus Receptus and do read from it when I am looking for help in understanding certain sections of my English bible. English is such a general language where words can have multiple meanings. I think that is why we have so many denominational churches today. It is because people cannot agree on what the English text is saying. However, not so with the Greek which is such an exact language and almost impossible to come away with multiple meanings on what the text is saying. I think the Lord knew what He was doing by choosing Greek as the original language for the doctrinal section of our bibles.

Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you Giannis, this is really helpful and gives me more knowledge as how to consider my question.
