Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 812

Hello Doug,

It is a wonderful thing to have our God dwell within us. Wherever the Holy Spirit dwells, so does our Lord, Jesus, the Son, and the Father. So, as we have received the Holy Spirit at our regeneration we have all the fullness of God dwelling within us! We still remain human, but are filled with God's Spirit. We do not become God, but are sons of God by adoption through the work of the Holy Spirit. It is such an amazing thing that our God has done all that is necessary for our regeneration, salvation, sanctification, and complete redemption from sin, death, and the evil one. Hallelujah!

In this passage in Ephesians, Paul is praying for those in Ephesus that they be "strengthened with might through the Holy Spirit in their inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (NIV)

This indwelling of the God in us is what we are being saved to. Instead of being void of God within us when we were dead to Him, we are now made alive and able to receive Him into our body, mind, soul, and spirit. What a blessing and outstandingly precious position God has raised us to in Him. Instead of occupying the lowest place due to our sin (in hell) we are will be raised above even this earthly life to one that is glorified and incorruptible and immortal with God forever. We will eternally have the Holy Spirit within us and will see God in Jesus and dwell with Him!

Doug, that's a great scripture, Ephesians 3:19 ......that ye might be filled with the FULLNESS OF GOD (the DIVINE NATURE).

Christ was the first to be filled with the FULLNESS OF GOD (the divine nature).

Through the works of his cross, he (the Holy Ghost) is indwelling mankind and giving them the heritage of the divine nature, becoming son's of God (SPIRIT).

Colossians 1:27 ....this mystery, CHRIST (diety) IN YOU ......

How do I find philippians 4:13 ?

Dear Roy, thanks for the info on what you received from the pope's rep. The Roman Catholic church has "mystified" what the bible calls our union with Christ. Some in the Catholic church teach that this union means we are "absorbed" into the essence of God.

This mysticism is a mixture of Eastern religion and the concept of believers being unified with God through Christ. In Eastern religious thought (think Buddhism) through meditation a person "ascend" to be absorbed into the cosmic energy, thus losing personal identity, but one with all consciousness. This is what has been adopted and modified in among Catholic Church members who seek this "mystical union" with God.

I do not think this way at all. The Bible says we are one in Christ, but not absorbed into Him nor do we mix our humanity with His deity. We will be perfected humanity likened to the perfect humanity of Jesus (which He possessed since His conception in Mary).

However, Jesus is not a man that becomes divine, He is God who took on human likeness in every way but sin. So, in Him is full

divinity and full humanity (without sin).

Likewise, we are not humans who become divine. That is a gulf too wide for any to cross, as God alone is divine. We will always be human, even in heaven, but we will be perfected in our humanity to be like Jesus and never sin again. We will have a glorified human body, like Jesus has, that will be immortal and incorruptible. As in a marriage, we will be unified with Christ in mind, heart, soul, and spirit, yet remain separate individuals. We will enjoy the communion of saints which is the bride of Christ. We will forever be with Him and enjoy Him forever.

Who was Jesus talking to when he talked about the drunkenness

As far as I can ascertain; this was the last occurrence of the "glory cloud" in the holy place (v.11-14) recorded in O.T. times. Obviously, we have visions of Ezekiel; Daniel and Isaiah personally into heavenly places; and Revelation shows how the praise of the saints proceeds events in the seal and trumpet judgments. The bowl judgments; however have a similar spin; as no one can enter into the inner sanctuary in heaven until they are completed. ( Rev. 15:8).

The sobering fact is that after Solomon with few exceptions there were kings that were primarily evil; with a few exceptions. Because of Solomon's falling for foreign women; the sins of Molech where child sacrifice was performed repeatedly were done even by these wicked kings. There are a few exceptions where as in 2 Chronicles 34; Josiah burned the bones of the false priests as was prophesied earlier; as well as breaking down many idols and killing others that did such evil practices. Solomon was warned but allowed multiplying of silver and gold and horses to ensnare him in worldly glory ( Deut. 17:17). This verse mentions multiple wives along with that as well as being warned against. The manna mentioned in Exodus 16 as well as Aaron's rod in Numbers doesn't seem to be mentioned here; only the two tablets of God's covenant. I am not entirely sure the reasoning; and no one is sure exactly where the Ark is; although scripture hints that some day there will be no mention of it ( Jeremiah 3:16). This probably hints at the Millennial reign of Christ as to the blessings of multiplied natural descendants at that time.

Phillip, the "HER" in Revelation 18 is Babylon (the world, carnality, falsehoods, deceptions), that all mankind is in the CAPTIVITY OF.

God commands that we, God's church (the called out) come out of HER (BABYLON)(the world, carnality, falsehoods, deceptions).

Revelation 18:2 And he (the ANGEL OF THE LORD, Christ, God's messenger of SPIRIT, the HOLY GHOST, THE WORD) cried mightly with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen (though Christ resurrection man is no long in captivity to Babylon (the world, carnality, falsehoods, deceptions), is fallen, and (Babylon)(the World) is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, (falsehoods, deceptions) and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Revelation 18:4 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Come out of HER (BABYLON, the world, carnality, falsehoods, deception), my people (God's church, the called out), that ye be not partakers of HER SINS, and that ye receive not of HER PLAQUES (the wages of sin is DEATH).

The gift of God (Christ in you, LIFE and TRUTH in you, the HOLY GHOST in you) is ETERNAL LIFE.

GBU

God has always been and will forever after the end be. His earthly human blood was shed, not Him who is spirit and one with Jesus. The bloodshed is also that of billions upon billions both long gone in days o old, the here and now, and in the end but only as God says it will be. No one knows their day or hour but God, not even the angels know. And as far as God's name, only He knows it, and man can only guess and assume it is as they see it to be. God made all things including the angels. So don't make a mistake about God and Jesus being one the same. It says this throughout the Bible. The word Elohim because God came to earth as Jesus to walk amongst His people - His creations, called man. I am interpreting the entire book of Revelation and will publish it when I'm done. For now, my comment is on "the word of God," who was, is, and always will be; there is no such thing as a trinity, meaning three, for God is all; AND ONE THE SAME, NOT THREE different entities as most think He is. This word Trinity is not in any Bible unless one of the pagan ones. It was made up, yet many of you speak of the father, the son, and the holy spirit as being separate, and not one the same. Wake up people.! It states clearly in even the orthodox bible, the name of God what no one knows but Him - God, himself. Ho logos tou Theou, or "the Logos of God." The plural is defined as more than one, but this greek tells that God is one, not three for He is the word, was manifest into the son Jesus, then went back to heaven in spirit, and will return once again as the living God in the flesh, Jesus, is His name, and He is Lord of lords, and King of kings, our only creator telling the angels and all of us who He is, and what He will do, to rule for a thousand years on the new earth and in the new heavenly kingdom that only He will once again create, and place all of us who are His children back upon the new earth, and heaven will be reserved for the angels and saints. Amen.!

If I remain focused on the laws of God and leave His will and judgment up to Him, I will learn who is righteous by observing the failures of the wicked. My reward is my being surrounded by Gods chosen and obtaining wisdom and knowledge.

What we must understand is the mystery of the Kingdom of God is Christ in US which is Spirit..The Spirit has to be Born in US via the seed of Christ,...Thats y they call him the bridegroom...thats Y he has to know us...Today if you will hear his Voice meaning his Seed...Thats y he is saying that which is BORN of the Spirit is Spirit, his seed is the word which is Spirit thus his Children are Spirits...The H.G. plural that is gonna be as the Stars of Heaven, that was the great Promise when God Almighty swore by his very self that Christ was gonna be multiplied as the Stars of Heaven.

....We cannot be born again unless we hear his voice that incorruptible seed which are the words of very God as Peter says..Being bornagain of an incorruptible seed etc...Today if you will hear his voice ( that good seed ) harden not your hearts. As Faith comes by hearing his voice that good seed the word initiating a spritual pregnancy...Even in the natural when a woman is pregnant she has the substance of things hoped for the evidence of thing not seen...Our Child is the H.G. the Child of PROMISE the multiplication of Christ Jesus is US....Thats y they call the H.G. the Promise he is the very offspring of Christ Jesus...Whosoever receiveth one such Child in MY Name receiveth Me..When Isaiah saw the Kingdom coming he says unto US Child is born unto us a son is given ...Thats y Zech is saying he is our 1st born our only Son...Thus he is truely the Son of MAN. MANKINDS Fruit unto God via that good seed...k

Thank you for sharing His Word to the World!

Blessings Always!

Marke, the "her" in Revelation 18 is Babylon, the world's system of government (law written in stone), directly opposite God's government (law written in the heart).

WE are commanded to come out of BABYLON and live under the LAW OF THE SPIRIT.

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her (Babylon, the world, carnality) my people (Christ church) that ye be not partakers of her (Babylon, carnality, worldly), and that ye receive not of her plagues.

GBU

Amen, Brother Alex, if Christ (the word(s) are in us and we are in the word(s)), we are in the BOOK OF LIFE. The SEED awaiting the harvest.

Praise be to God for Jesus the Christ the son of the Living God! It Is by faith in his death burial and Resurrection there is life!! If we confess with our mouths Jesus is Lord I believe in our heart that God has raised him from the dead we will be saved!! May God grant us change of mind!! Thank you for making this possible to share

A thought provoking part of a long sentence. I noticed for the first time that there a commas in it. Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, the ye might be filled with the fulness of God.

2 Samuel 6:7 also records this event with Uzza. It is a natural reaction; to steady something about to fall and perhaps he should have known better. There were rules as to how to carry the Ark in Numbers 4; and other places on who was allowed to. In 1 Samuel 6:19 people also were slain for LOOKING into the Ark.

This is basically the same principle involved for those who would be in the inner Temple. Since this appears to be an unintentional sin; it is not at the same level of transgression as those who tried to enter that weren't supposed to be in there; let alone those that had "strange fire" ( Leviticus 10:1-11). The result may be the same; as to ending this earthly life; but the eternal results for those who are saved or unsaved surely wouldn't. Moses; in fact himself was warned by God that he wouldn't live if he viewed Him fully; as no man can see God (in the flesh) and live ( Exodus 33:20). It is this Holiness in God which we should strive for; now that in some sense He lives in us as a Temple or Tabernacle. ( 1 Cor. 6:19). This verse shows; in fact how for self careless living can lead to physical death ( 1 Cor. 11:27 and following verses); and could allude to those who martyr God's saints as well ( Psalm 116:15). See also Rev. 17:6; Rev. 6:9:11.

It truly is a profound thing for the eternal God to tabernacle with men. It is based on His grace; and His covenants in which ultimately in the New Covenant involved our redemption through His Son. ( Heb. 8:13; 9:15). This is; BTW the only way any old covenant is ended-God's covenants are eternal; and our vows for our lifetime and that of the other parties represented as to what was promised. God is ever faithful; even when we are not. ( Deut. 7:9) for context.

Marke plz don't be offened but Jeremiah 1 : 5 is just prophetic of the Manchild ,that Child of PROMISE, THE H.G. that is gonna rule all Nations...Jeremiah neva did destroy any Nations or Kingdoms...Its just prophetic of what Jesus said when he the Spirit of Truth is come ( the H.G. ) The Kingdom he will reprove the world of sin and judgement and righteousness etc...Jeremiah was truly a great prophet but there is a greater then Jeremiah coming which is the H.G. that Child of Promise...Which is the very kingdom of God unless you receive the kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in...The Child that Jeremiah is speaking of is the H.G. that Child of Promise that is gonna Rule all Nations...AS Rev 12 : 5 is saying she brought forth a Child that is gonna rule all nations...and satan wants to kill this Child simply b/c he is the multiplication of Christ in humanity That Child of PROMISE via the seed of Christ Jesus as the field is the world where that Godly seed will be sown...Satan knows that this is the Child of PROMISE that is gonna be as the Stars of Heaven....destroying Satans Kingdom...Thats y Satan wants to destroy this Child and his Mother the Church....Who is my MOTHER Jesus asked, them that hear my words ( his seeds ) and keeps them. To whom the word came ( his seed ) it made them Gods....and his WORDS cannot return unto him void...They will have to form a baby Christ in US....and Christ is God.

...My lil Children of whom i travail in birth AGAIN, AGAIN till Christ is formed in you...This is the 2 nd travailing...The Kingdom of Solomon did not come till the 2 nd time Bathsheba Travailed in birth...The 1st Child died in its infancy which answers to Christianity the 1st Church the early Church..He had to give them up..According to Micah 5...But they return again with the woman in Child birth.... Rev 12 : 10 Now is come salvation and the Kingdom of our God and his Christ Child the H.G. The Spirit of truth. That is gonna rule all the world.

At the day of the Lord, 6 million (false) Ashkenazi Jews are taken captive, Genesis 10:2-3, Revelation 2:9, Joel 3:1.

1/3rd of world population will die between the 6th and 7th trumpets.

The holocaust is yet to come.

Paul writes Romans 13 to say basically two things: First, just because the Roman Empire, and most governments are corrupt, doesn't mean that all government in principle is bad. And secondly, he infers that while people should hold the Roman Empire in contempt, and resist it, they should not do so by breaking the law.

Marke you are so right GBU We should not partake in any kind of liquor..But we must remember what Jesus said its not the things that goes into our mouths that DEFILE us but the things that comes out of our mouths that DEFILE us,..What comes out of our mouths comes from the HEART and its the things that come from the HEART of a MAN THAT DEFILES HIM...Just as Jesus the living word washed their feet it was just prophetic that the living words that new covenant is gonna wash our hearts...You are made clean by the Word that i have spoken unto you...Abide in me and I in you.

...... the foot washing was just prophetic of a heart washing via his Words the contents of the book that New Covenant...Then we will all sing a NEW SONG...The blood and the living word are the same...Simply b/c Jesus was the living Word made Flesh and Blood...And talking about the Blood, Today is April 2 nd...which answers to Abib the 14 th the beginning of Passover...according to the old Hebrew Calendar...But now his Blood is applied to the Doorpost of our hearts to them that hear his WORDS...He wrote that Book with his own blood...Thats y it is called the book of life...My words are spirit and life...

.....OK mi Voy Nesesita caf'e

Dear Christian , here are some Bible verses that might give u some food for thought ; Genesis Ch 2 V 22 , Zech Ch 12 V 10 and John Ch 19 V 34 . I hope these verses spark your interest .

Suze, I meant for this post to go in the general comment section.

Now I guess you got to read it.....

Dear Philip

Although there is a wide acceptance by christians in US that Babylon is America as i read in comments, over here most christians believe that Babylon represants EITHER the apostat church during the times of antichrist, that is the union of all cosmic churches and/or religions which they accept anything apart from the truth of the Word of God, anything that sounds nice to their ears, and possesses wealth and power and serve the plans of antichrist OR it refers to globalization, the universal political, economic, cultural ...system of the modern world we live in.

And please let me make an observation. If you think America has a faith problem you should come to Europe to see what atheism is really like. America still holds on in faith. Please keep doing the good work fellow christians.

GBU

Arnold, it sounds like you are walking well with the Lord, my friend. Have a restful night's sleep.

Thank you so much for sharing this useful King James Holy Bible. God bless you all.

The Book of Enoch is another non-scriptural writing promoted by those who do not believe God has preserved His Word throughout human history. Like the Book of Mormon, which was first promoted by Joseph Smith in 1830, the Book of Enoch made its first appearance in 1773 in the hands of James Bruce. Likewise, another text that has taken Christianity by evil storm winds is Sinaiticus, another Johnny-come-lately spurious text.

Until Constantin von Tischendorf's discovery of the Sinaiticus text in 1844, the Codex Vaticanus was unrivaled.[2]

#1 The 1st Book of Enoch was discovered in Abyssinia in 1773 by a Scottish explorer named James Bruce. It is an apocryphal book in the Ethiopic Bible which is typically dated between the 3rd century BC and the 1st century AD.

Hello Don. We're not told exactly where Jonah was when he received the Word of the LORD, but we do know that he was originally from Gathhepher ( 2 Kings 14:25). This town is difficult to locate (if you're trying to place it on a modern map), as the name & maybe the town itself has since long gone. But from my old maps, it was located west of the Sea of Galilee (formerly, Sea of Chinnereth). When Canaan was divided amonst the twelve tribes, this town was a part of Zebulun's heritage & later was in the area of Galilee, in Jesus' Days.

Revelation 10

Is that you Elijah?

vs 1 The angel with his right foot on the sea, and left foot on the earth is Jesus (mirroring the 2 beasts in Revelation 13, rising from sea & earth).

vs 5-6 are paradoxical because Jesus says all creation comes from God, where we Christian's are sworn to saying that Jesus created all, John 10:30

Revelation 10:5-6 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

vs 7 We are reminded that God has plans to end this age at the 7th trumpet.

vs 8 Jesus gives the prophet the little book, the Word of God (Bible).

vs 9-10 Since it's sweet in his mouth, then bitter in his belly, it must be before the 6th trumpet, day of the Lord, when life drastically changes.

Revelation 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

vs 11 These aren't saints, but 1 person. This must be describing Elijah's appearance before the day of the Lord. Elijah is to preach the word of God, salvation, on the backdrop before it comes, Malachi 4:5

There may be a million lessons to be learned from Jeremiah but I like the verse that shows God has even unborn babies on His mind and heart, proving abortionists offend God when they kill an unborn child.

Jeremiah 1:5

King James Version

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

I suspect the "her" of Revelation 18 is America, but could be referring to any nation or group who fancies themselves to be in God's favor but are not and, like the Church of Laodicea, are rich and increased with goods but lacking the filling of God's Spirit.

Rev 3

14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
