    Charity and it a manifestation of love and not love itself. Jesus said when you do unto one of the lest of these you do it unto me. 1 Corinthians 13:13

    "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 think Christianity answers to the woman taken in Adultry.....We all worship him with our lips but our HEARTS are FAR FROM HIM....We go a whoring after every materistic thing......Actually its the Dollar that is our God.....In that last day its Christianity that will come before God in Judgement she is the Woman taken in Adultry.....But just as Jesus forgave the Woman and told her to go and sin no more.....His words that new COVENANT will give her a new heart and a new spirit.... She is gonna birth a Child which is the H.G. that Child of Promise..... Rev. 12 : 5.....SHE brought forth a man CHILD that is gonna rule ALL NATIONS.....Thus the KiNGDOM WILL BE WITH IN HER.....She is gonna be a new Creature.....Jesus is gonna be married to the backslider The woman taken in adultry is US......Remember King David A type of Christ married Bathsheba an adultress....But she was not an adultress after Uriah died.....Uriah being the LAW..... Romans 7 : 4 Paul says you are dead to the LAW by the body of Christ that you should bemarried to another Even to Him that was raised from the dead Christ Jesus....When he wrote in the sand the 2 nd time it was just PROPHETIC that he is gonna write in OUR HEARTS the 2 nd time ( the 2 nd coming that new covenant ) has to be writen in our Hearts ...... Jeremiah 31 : 33 & 34 KJV

    Hello GiGi



    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.
  • THE BEST STORY IN THE O.T.__Mishael - In Reply on Mark 2 - 4 years ago
    We know from Job 1 that he was a righteous man who feared God (reverence, honor).

    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.

    In peace, "Leland Kendrick md" i write because you had a small mistake, as i when it comes to writing. (I believe Jesus isachiort was not the) error. It was Judas not Jesus here. A small typo only.

    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.
  • TWO ENOCH's IN THE BIBLE - In Reply on 3 John 1 - 4 years ago
    Enoch (Hebrew: meaning "initiated") is a name in the Hebrew Bible used by two separate figures who lived during the generation of Adam.

    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.

    Dear "Malike", you know that you can post bean topics here on this web? I see you got good answers here, but just wanted to remind you. Be blessed in the Holy Name of Jesus. With words from Matthew Chapter 1.
  • Mishael - In Reply - 4 years ago
    You didn't say if it is a within family issue, with a neighbor, an enemy; a legal issue or workplace?

    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.
  • Wise men still seek him on Matthew 24 - 4 years ago
    Mathew 24.11

    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 .

  • Life Is Full of Tight Turns and Corners - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Sometimes I think the Pharisees and Sadducees tried to trick Jesus. It was a tense moment for sure. Everybody had rocks in their hands to stone her to death.

    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.
  • Edifying Our spirit and the Church - In Reply - 4 years ago
    It's a sign to unbelievers; it's not supposed to disrupt Church service as a rule. If Pastor asks the congregation to do so, then it's ok to do it in an orderly, somewhat low tones.

    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!

    John 3:16; John 5:24; John 6:37-40,47; John 10:27-29; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:38,39; 2 Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 2:8; Ephesians 4:30; Hebrews 13:5; 1 John 5:11-13; Jude 1:24 - are a few examples, all promising the true child of God that his/her salvation is secure forever.

    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.
  • Mishael - In Reply - 4 years ago
    There's a link out on the red page named, BECOME A BELIEVER that answers the "most asked questions" about Christian experience and life.

    There's a box up above called TESTIMONIES

    that are how people came to be a Christian. Very insightful
  • Being a Child of God in a Worried World - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 4 years ago
    Someone once told me to be an ambassador of Jesus to all those we bump into and converse with.

    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.
  • Chris - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Roman Catholics don't "encourage Sunday" instead of the Sabbath Day. The Sabbath, given to Israel as part of the 10 Commandments, was a specific day of rest (rest from the daily rigors of work). The Jewish Sabbath & Sunday worship have nothing to do with each other. The Sabbath was to be sanctified, i.e. set apart from every other day. On the other six days, man could work in the field, trade goods, travel any distance, & do whatever they needed to get done; but on the Sabbath, they had to rest from all that, so that body, mind & spirit could be refreshed. God rested, though He didn't have to, but His rest was "that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made." ( Genesis 2:3).

    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."

    Did you know Panama has dozens of earthquakes every year? Mid-range. Chile could be destroyed. They all live on the beach, with mountains behind them.

    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.

  • Chris - In Reply on Mark 2 - 4 years ago
    Hi Adrian. I believe that is correct in so far as, that sickness, pain & suffering come to all of us without exception, because we are a spiritually & morally fallen race. The moment we are born into the world with sin's nature having taken root & hold upon us, sin's course ultimately leads to death. And in that process of a gradual weakening & failing of our body's organs, we prove that in spite of any spiritual re-birth or discipline to holy living, ultimately the sin that grips our body will have the last word. I know that all this sounds very morbid but all of us are subject to the same end: that which is the outcome of sin ( Romans 6:23; James 1:15; Romans 5:12).

    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.
  • GiGi - In Reply on Revelation 21 - 4 years ago
    Hello Jerry, as some have said, the Tabernacle was the Holy of Holies in the center of the tent of meeting in the Old Testament. It was made in the wilderness during the Exodus by God's command and instructions. When completed, God chose to manifest Himself in this upon the Ark of the Covenant. When the temples were built in Jerusalem, again the Tabernacle was the Holy of Holies with the Ark of the Covenant and again, God's Presence was manifested upon the Ark. This does not mean that God was only there when His Presence was seen. He is everywhere present and fills the universe with Himself (being Spirit) and He at times will manifest Himself in one place without reducing His filling of the universe. In a locational manifestation He is 100% present there and at the same time 100% filling the universe. Kind of a mind blowing idea, but He is more amazing than we could ever imagine or comprehend. Praise be to God!

    The Father sent the Son to save us. The Father and the Son sent the Holy Spirit to regenerate us, cleans us, live in us and sanctify us. This was a two-fer, so to speak. Both gifts are eternally priceless.

    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).

  • GiGi - In Reply on Luke 11 - 4 years ago
    Good evening Gary,

    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.

  • GiGi - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Thanks Charles.

    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.
  • GiGi - In Reply on Isaiah 34 - 4 years ago
    Well said Charles. Our focus should be on our Lord Jesus and the Truth He is and the reality of His life, death, resurrection, and ascension and what all of this brings us who believe.
