Heaven won't be about us matter of fact john shall a new heaven and earth because the old had passed away and the temple come down from heaven Rev. it says they will neither be male or female, a 71 years old person can be a babe in Christ say he was saved at 70 and died at 71 he's a year Old in Christ, Paul said it does not yet appear what we shall be so I don't think we know. An elder could be 30 if he was saved at 16 and an older person not be if they were just saved. plus we only know in part 1 Corinthians 13:12

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." And some words were unlawful for Paul to speak, 2 Corinthians 12:4

"How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."

King James Version (KJV)

NO, God has grace on us we are to have grace on them, we are told to live peacefully as much as is possible. Psalms 14:1

"(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good."

King James Version (KJV) Vengeance is my saith the Lord I will repay the deeds of the unrighteous and the righteous shall inherit their wealth. love thy enemy. now to except it no we are not to. They are lost souls like any other is

Fuuny because it disgusts me and guess what God did, put me ministering to homosexuals. I have to say so many are trouble souls in despair it's truly said, pray for them. confusion is of the devil that evil snake.

One thing our vote can't do is change God's plan and God uses evil for his good pleasure and he created evil. you can't make straight what God made crooked. And we are not of this world, be ye separate and come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing, So, we are the Church not the world so fixed the church, Jesus never spoke against Rome or tried to fix Israel did he, no he had a purpose Jesus even said You will always have the poor among you He Knew people will always do the wrong things. This earth does not survive God's wrath or do the people, we all as believers have one purpose to go unto all the world and not to tell them to vote but to believe. Sure you should vote but to turn politics into another gospel and spend more time on that then on God I think not. remember it says if the day were not cut short even God's elect would be deceived, you haven't even begun to know what evil really is yet. I get it but my MAGA is, Make America Godly Again. Serve the lord your God my friend

Psalms 14:1

"(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." King James Version (KJV). by this verse I'd say no, but we reap what we sow, and it rains on the evil and the good, so wealth or prosperity doesn't equal godliness or protection

So you have to be saved to be written in the book of life so Rev22:18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

There is a verse that says once enlighten and you fall away you can't be renewed again but many verses that imply you must teary until the end or hold fast to the end but being saved is from the wrath of God not eternal damnation Matt 7:21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Where these saved? you every prophesied or cast out devils they did wouldn't have to be saved to do these? The didn't make it, Once saved always saved is true because you will never have to suffer God's wrath to repent and be saved you already did but Paul said for all of us to work out our own salvation, The verse that's says no one can pluck you out of God's hand, but God can cast you out and you can fall out

John 15:19, John 15:15-27, Romans 12:21, 1John 4:4,

John 16:33,

Thou shall not commit Adultery it's pretty plain on NO! you can't

GOD is amazing! Isn't it wonderful how the HOLY Spirit will speak to each of us & several times to several people about the same thing. Hours before you posted. I was praying for people. In my spirit I was reminded about: Matthew 25:31-46, though I had forgiven people many wrongs & praying for "church leadership" of a place I used to attend & volunteer much with. GOD reminded me they still have consequences & so do we. It changed my prayer.

Not long ago I went through several years of difficult trials. I learned many valuable conclusions. How many people can & are affected by 1 persons sin. How society is affected by 1 sin & multiple sins also sometimes resulting from another person's sin. For Example you have a parent abuse then abandon their family. Society then either surrounds them with love, protection, support, or rejects, blames, shames. Then you have employers not pay individuals for work completed, or only pay a portion. James 5:4, Leviticus 19:13, Making it impossible for the worker to pay their debts. Families that after death of parent leave responsibility to poorest, weakest sibling, widow, widower. People ignoring their children, that vandalize other's property. Political corrupt choices, appointing unrighteous Judges, or police, making Courts biased & unjust etc. All of these sometimes 'simple' choices have tremendous affects on society.

Thanks for sharing, I hope my comment is welcomed

I found this verse, Ephesians 2:15

"Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;" King James Version (KJV)

But this is the commandments in the ordinances, like what to eat or not eat and so on , not the commandments but everything Jesus and his Apostles said to do is a commandment. Jesus said he didn't come to do away with the law but to fulfill the law. But you know what you can follow the law not to be saved but because you want to honor God or for benefit

I hope this helps, Romans 14:12So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

13Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

14I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

15But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

16Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

18For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

22Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

23And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Doesn't in collude sins

Here is the verse, 13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. It is talking about being tempted not being able to stand suffering, but I hope this verse explains it and Let me say this, God's word is where we find shelter you have to read read read it. Philippians 1:29

"For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;"

Romans 8:17

"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."

1 Peter 2:20

"For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God."

I pray this helps and if you use the search box and use suffer, suffering you can read more verses and remember Jesus sent the Comforter to us, the Holy ghost to comfort us. I'll being praying for you.

why did God create anything at all. especially humans

Dude if you don't think that Christ shed his blood on the croos you are lost and God lied, Everyone thinks they can interpreate Rvealations but miss the one most important part Rev1:3Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. So what are we to keep? Do you know what I get out of revelations, I don't want to live through it and if Revelations doesn't make us fear God nothing can. The fear of the lord leads to salvation. Man's wisdom is foolishness to God. So much more to focus on to live godly in the Bible so you don't suffer God's wrath. Revelations is God's wrath

The Cambridge version, if you download the KJV off of this site the preface has the entire account from the transcribers to the readers and explains it all there. it's pretty Indepth and detailed I'm not sure if that version is in the Parallel view on this site or not. but honestly what does it matter really ours or our's when ours by itself means belonging to. But you'll find the answer there, it's 17 pages long

There shouldn't be just one day, we are commanded to be constant in prayer, but even more so we should fast and pray and righteousness is the key to prayer being heard. Read Isaiah 58 it tells you why God stopped hearing Israels' prayers and I'd say he isn't hearing ours because we are doing the same as Israel did. Isaiah58 also tells us how to correct our unrighteous ways and be heard of God. Jame5:16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Before the real Bible was changed, there was 777 Books of the Bible. Why is there now only 66 Books in the Bible? Is there 777 Books in the original Bible?

Well said.

In your understanding, based on scriptural references, who is the ruler of this world?

Humility being humble it sounds simple, but ego makes it hard, but honestly most do none anymore. The church has become worldly, and we tend to do as they do more then what God says.

Hi Suze

The Jews viewed everyone who was not a Jew as a Gentile, which is often interpreted to mean "common" or "unclean" and not fit to touch not interact with.

That is all I meant. When speaking of the difference between Jew and Gentile, I was referring to how a Gentile is viewed by Jews in ancient times.

The handwriting is on the wall, can't you see, repent and be ready, put on the whole armor of God and be ready brothers and sisters, remember He said I and My Father are one, you deny the Son, you also deny The Father

By not transgressing, he never broke the law, sinned, by obeying God, by being obedient even unto the death of the cross. It's just like fulfilling a contract, you do everything the contract says for you to do.

Where is it written that the day will come the you won't know one season from another only by the budding of the trees

David sinned. Why did his child have to die? the question asked because of Ezekiel 18.

No one was saved before Jesus, Paul Talks about the gentiles in Romans how they were not of the circumcision but do those things of it. Plus the Jews had no clue Jesus would die on the cross they thought Jesus would set up a world government that would defeat all other kingdoms. One thing, death on this side is not final the second death is, you can still be saved after you die but during the wrath of God that's its whole point and how every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess, we are saved from the wrath of God to be made to repent. You can believe and still not have eternal life. Matt&:21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Hey Beth,

This day most Christians celebrate as Easter, resurrection day. This day, the first day after the Sabbath following Passover day was the Feast of Firstfruits, Leviticus 23:9-14. This feast is for the first harvest, the priest must wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted before any of the first harvest could be eaten.

Mary came before sunrise and Jesus appeared to her first, she went to touch Him and He told her "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father". Jesus is the Firstfruits of those who slept, and as the priest had to wave the sheaf over the alter before the LORD to be accepted, Jesus had to ascend to His Father to be accepted to fulfill the Feast of Firstfruits before He could be touched.

Just think, sunrise, on the morning of the Feast of First Fruits, the priest waving the sheaf of grain before the altar, and the other women arriving at the Lord's tomb, the same time Jesus ascended. The angel told the women to go tell the disciples to go to Galilee, and on their way, He returned and appeared to them, then they could touch Him, Matthew 28:5-10 but Mary could not because He had not yet ascended, same as the sheaf had to be waved before the LORD and accepted before they could eat of the first harvest.

From the beginning of Jesus time on earth the disciples thought He was going to set up the kingdom then, and just before He ascended, they asked Jesus if he at that time was going to set up the kingdom, Acts 1:6. My understanding of scripture after Jesus returned He was hear forty days teaching the apostles, Acts 1:1-5 before His ascension in Acts 1:9. He told them to stay in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the baptizing of the Holy Ghost, this the second harvest (Pentecost).

He is now sitting at the right hand of the Father, the only mediator between us and God 1Timothy 2:5. He will be coming back as He left Matthew 24:30, to set up the kingdom on earth.

God bless,

God is so Good ! So Faithful & so True ! He inhabits the praises of his people. Thank God for His Mercies, inspite of me. Please pray that He will preserve our historic ranch, during a severe drought, lack of help.epidemics of grass hoppers & others,wolf problems,& preserve my strength, health,& soul, inspite of my strokes. Glory to His Name !

Romans 1:21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

What are good healing scriptures to read?

Keep reading, Titus 3:9

"But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain."

King James Version (KJV)

Yes, he did he wasn't a robot, He said: don't you know I can pray to the Father, and he will send 10,000 legions of angels to deliver me, but he chose not to but to die the death of the cross, He also ask God to take this cup but then says thy will be done. Jesus chose to obey, he said I only (I) do those things the father tells me to do. Every being under God has free will and freedom to choose just like Lucifer did. it's the Jesus is God that implies he had no choice but in fact the word was made flesh, Jesus was a human man if not and God, God's word says God cannot die but remember we only know in part and with God all things are possible. He's our God now tho. God's word is a book to be studied and I suggest that people read it like any other book and learn the accounts and about the people places and things that took place, get familiar with it and repetition of reading and faithfulness brings revelation of knowledge to us. I've read it for over 45 years, and you don't know God if you don't know His word or Jesus either. For there are three they bear witness in Heaven The farther The Word and The Holy Ghost, and the word became flesh (John) Your bible is Jesus get to know Him well
