"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
1 Corinthians 16:14
"Let all your things be done with charity."
Colossians 3:14
"And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness."
2 Thessalonians 1:3 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
1 Peter 4:8
"And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins."
I believe that wisdom is the power to decern that which is in our paths, whether to enter or not enter, to go or not go. It is also the power to learn what is true or untrue after testing by the spirit. As we go about our life experiencing scenarios guided by God's wisdom our spirit man commits these to memory as evidence of the unseen things that we trust and develop faith in, this becomes knowledge. This is evident in homeless street people as they are said to be "street wise" having WISDOM of the streets. These people are also resourceful in order to attend to their basic needs as they gain KNOWLEDGE of where to get these things or take advantage of opportunities to get them. Wisdom and knowledge in their situation comes from their environment, just as my wisdom and knowledge comes from my faith and effort to live a godly life always seeking and praying in the name of Jesus Christ my savior. Faith begats wisdom, wisdom begats knowledge. Amen.
We see that Jobs kids liked to party. Job would go to church and offer burnt offerings for ALL of them (verse 5) continually; meaning every time they partied, Job went the next day to cover any sin.
Meanwhile, Satan had obtained permission to test Jobs trust in God and his faith. God had confidence in Job. He allowed it.
Between Eden and the Cross of Jesus's Crucifixion; Satan still had Adams Dominion, Power and Authority to use it. Jesus took it away from Satan later. Satan IS NOT HUMAN. He has no right to even be on earth.
So Satan is like a spy. He sees what we do and figures out our weak areas. He saw Job making sacrifices for his kids and suspected some doubt, fear, over-protection. He purposed to strip Job of everything he loved. He stirred up an F5 tornado and killed the kids, homes, meat animals, crops. All Job had left was a wife with a razor sharp tongue. Satan afflicted Job with skin disease and painful sores that weeped pus.
Satan does that stuff whenever he sees an opening in our faith. He sneaks around, uses familiar spirits to dig up dirt on us and our ancestors. He's evil. Family=familiar
Jobs wife tells him to curse God and die. His so-called friends drag his character and habits through the dirt he sits in.
At the end, God tells of His majesty, works, power and might. He OWNS storehouses of snow, hail & rain. Do we ever pray for rain in drought? pray for the snow to spread out over great distance so it's less dangerous? Ask for tornadoes to get away from your town? Pray for the hail to be tiny?
Jesus GAVE US Authority over Satan, evil spirits, weather, wicked politicians even. We have all that Adam lost. Jesus suffered greatly to give us the authority and the POWER OF THE NAME OF JESUS. We are told to BIND (arrest) the evil; we are to LOOSE the blessings, the healing, the finances, a better job, tell the weather to be still.
He knows who will be saved He knows who will perish. We have this in mind and will not lose the hope we have received in Jesus Christ. Do you think it was a coincidence that it was Judas?
God bless in Jesus Christ Holy Name above all others name on this earth. With regards from Matthew chapter 1.
The first Enoch was the son of Cain.
He is described as a son of Cain, and father of Irad. After Cain arrived in the Land of Nod, to which he was evicted by the Lord as his punishment for murdering his brother Abel. His wife became pregnant and bore Cain's first child, whom he named Enoch.
The SECOND Enoch was a descendant of SETH, the third son of Adam, and great-grandfather of NOAH ( Genesis 5:22-29). SETH is the bloodline of Jesus Christ ancestors and Must Not be Confused with Cains ancestor.
First Book of Enoch was at first accepted in the Christian Church but later excluded from the biblical canon. Its survival is due to the fascination of marginal and heretical Christian groups, such as the Manichaeans, with its syncretic blending of Iranian, Greek, Chaldean, and Egyptian elements.
Justin, Athenagoras, Irenaeus, Clemens Alexandrinus, Lactantius, and others borrowed an opinion out of this Book of Enoch, that the angels had connection with the daughters of men, of whom they had offspring (Nephilim: 'the giants of the past'). Tertullian, in several places, speaks of this book with esteem; and would persuade us, that it was preserved by Noah during the deluge. The Book of Enoch, however, was rejected by Origen, Jerome and Augustin as spurious.

Mishael comment: there is Much confusion as to the First Enoch, son of CAIN (who was cursed by God), in Genesis.

I kinda like BIBLEHUB dot COM
First, sit down and write down all the facts. Good or bad.
What was said, replied or alleged. Legal or illegal.
If it's a legal issue, after you get all the FACTS on paper, you can make an appointment with a Legal Aid Attorney to see if you have a case. Google legal aid in your city. Cost may be nothing.
As a Christian, you need to keep everything honest and open before God. Then you can pray for Him to help you to resolve the issues.
Sometimes we need to settle ourselves first.
This all I can say without details.
I will pray in Jesus Name that he will give you favor with resolving these issues and to bring His peace and clear thinking into this situation. Amen.
Don't bury it and let it simmer or boil. Find a way back to the center, and peace. Let God undertake.
Notice the word many in this verse .
They are very persuasive, being deceived themselves , but they never seem to come out of it and have huge followings .
But they are wrong and miss out . Dear reader trust no man but the word of God . Ask God for wisdom he promises to give it to those ask in faith . He surely does and you will not fall for the fakes .
Can you be so [friendly and look at the pages here so you can find out : ). And be blessed with words from Matthew chapter 1. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen
I love it, he said, "he who is without sin"__
and everybody had to walk away.
I fail at things often. Then I pray immediately. It gets my mind back on Jesus and relying on his forgiveness and freedom. I sliced the top of my thumb earlier and boy did it bleed!
Last week was full of warfare. I musta done something right? Lol. Kinda like Peter. He admits he believes Jesus is the Son of God one minute; next minute the devil stirs him up to tempt Jesus to rely on their protection instead of Father.
It's for rest and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes I sing to Him, and He sings with me.
I pray in the car sometimes.
We need to also crack open the Bible and read everyday. The Word inside your heart and mind is very valuable too.
You are a disciple of Jesus. He may need your strength and Bible knowledge to help a woman that's going through a trial.
That's why the scriptures say not to forsake assembling together. We're there to edify the Saints. Lord knows these days everyone can be lifted up in the spirit of their minds.
What a wonderful blessing you are!
Yet 1 John 3:7-10 reveals the two-faced 'Christian': having every appearance of serving God, but has sin dominating his life; living carelessly & not carefully.
There's a box up above called TESTIMONIES
that are how people came to be a Christian. Very insightful
It helps to study the Bible so you can answer some of the questions people ask us. Like, how do you ask Jesus to save you?
Or why does bad things happen to good people?"
If they want to tear down the church and rant about how mean God is, you can excuse yourself if you want to. (I have a doctor appt at 3pm). If the Holy Spirit is not dealing with that person__sometimes our short conversation will harden their hearts. Be sensitive.
We know that the early Church met together on the first day of the week (Sunday), but even if they didn't & continued to observe the Sabbath as both a rest & worship day, then they would have to place themselves under the demands of the Law (the whole Law) & by that Law be judged. What happens if they (or, you & me), fail to fully observe the Sabbath? What happens if suddenly we are required to get some work done, and without thinking, we break the Sabbath? How does God forgive us when we're under the Law? We can't say "we'll observe the Law & if we mess up, then God will forgive us through Christ". It doesn't work like that, because Jesus has "redeemed us from the curse of the law" (curse = death & separation from God is the finality of the Law): Galatians 3:13. One cannot be under the Law & in Christ at the same time - Truths that oppose each other.
If Saturday is to be observed as a worship day (or, any day of the week), then it should be of choice or convenience and not because of a Sabbath significance. Romans 14:5,6b: "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it."
They've suffered some devastating tsunamis in past history.
I pray for them. I know it's hard to uproot and move away. I've done it 22 times. Home is where Jesus lives; and I carry Him in my heart everywhere.
The heart of the Lord is Mercy.
Yet, you might be thinking of a person's particular suffering or sickness (e.g. Job - which was a specific instance of God's Permission given to Satan to test Job's character & faithfulness; & maybe God stills allows this today- I can't tell). Yet we also know that God does discipline His child who wilfully continues in sin, not receiving correction ( Hebrews 12:5-11; Revelation 3:19; 1 Corinthians 11:32; Psalm 94:12,13). But His discipline comes in various ways & degrees of severity, as a father would mete out to his erring child. So the bottom line could be expressed as: if we were NOT sinners, living in all purity & holiness before God, there would be no physical sickness coming upon us, nor would there be need for any correction or discipline by God or man. But we should be cautious in trying to interpret every sickness or hardship being the result of some spiritual or moral failing - not always, but sometimes - each one will know in his heart from whence this comes.
The Holy Spirit in us will manifest good things in us by His choice and power. Asking for Him to direct our lives and work through us will bring an awareness of how He manifests in us as we interact in the Body of Christ (the Church).
1 Corinthians 14, Leviticus 19:18,34, Deuteronomy 6:5, Deuteronomy 7:7,9,13, Matthew 5:44,46,
It seems that there have been maybe 6000 years of recorded history from Adam to know. Genesis tells us that day and night began verse 3 (Day 1) But we do not know how much time elapsed between Genesis verse 1 and 3. Time did begin with creation, as any movement requires time (rotation of planets, burning of gases in a sun for example).
Romans 1:20 tells us that there is a revelation of God in nature. And Scripture is His revelation as well.
So, things that are discovered in science is part of this natural revelation, but science is not as exacting in this topic as the age of the earth because it was not directly observed by humans. Time was not recorded before humans were created and kept track of the days and seasons. So, we can certainly inquire of science what is theorized and also found in artifacts. many of the things concerning space, laws of nature, and age of things is presented by way of mathematical calculations and physics. Way beyond my comprehension for sure. But, even so, I am glad that there are curious and intellectually brilliant people who delve into these things. Think of Galileo and Copernicus who proved that the earth was a sphere, not flat, and that the earth rotates and orbits around the sun. Many religious top dogs of their day condemned their ideas, but these have been proven true after all.
The Scriptures is not a history or science book. It is God's revelation to mankind for us to know He exists and what He has done, said, and promised. It is our manual for salvation, not our science text to explain all of the mysteries of the created world.
Within the context of spiritual revelation and natural revelation, there is a vast amount of knowledge in both that we will never discover in this age. In the resurrection, we will know so much more, but even then, we will never know all that God knows nor all there is to know about Him. Yet we will know what He deems is needed for us to be eternally satisfied.
Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Exodus 23:25, Matthew 4:23,
Luke 9:55-56,
Jeremiah 32:27, Jeremiah 32:17, Luke 1:37,
Hopefully these are helpful
God has a reason and a purpose for allowing the sin to happen in the first place and for all that has happened in history, right/wrong; wonderful/terrible; and in between.
this makes me think of the little song that we often teach to children in Sunday School, Trust and Obey.
