    Barbara Harris Genesis 9 From what I've studied there's a few possibilities of what occurred, that being

    said whatever the act was had to be intentional and severe enough to have a curse on ham like the one on

    Cain and other men who were wicked in their actions. Then another point is look at what God shows coming out

    of the bloodline Nimrod who's name means rebel and the term mighty hunter before the Lord means in absolute

    defiance of the true God. Also out of his bloodline came the Philistines not nice people!

    Hi there,

    Good post. I was just reading in the gospels about the time between the resurrection and the ascension. Jesus made sure that the disciples had all of the instruction they needed to begin the ministry He was calling them to do when He returned to heaven. I noticed that, even though Thomas doubted the reports from his disciple friends, he believed when he met Jesus again alive. He said, "My Lord and My God." Now that is the exclamation of a believer! So glad that was recorded. Jesus meets us in our doubts and weakness and gives us what is needed, as He did for Thomas. He loved him.

    Hi Jakayla,

    Glad you are here. Beginning by praying to God and asking him to guide you as you seek Him. He will meet your need. For me, beginning in the gospels is always a good start. In the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John you can come to know who Jesus is and what He said and did.

    Thanks Donna,

    We are to be diligent in our walk with the Lord. He desires us to come to know Him more deeply and surely. May this be so for all of us here.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Mishael, you are so right.

    We do endeavor to do and be our best on here. And I agree, may God steer our conversations in the direction He desires to discuss the text that He wants us to learn and apply to our lives. The Bible is a BIG book, and there is a good word for us on every page.

    It is good to have you here with us. I pray that you will continue to hang with us here. It is really a blessing to have a forum that allows such good discussion and the opportunity to interact and pray with and for each other. You are precious to us.

    Kevin,

    Well said. We don't always know or understand the why or even what God will do when He asks us to do something. We are just to obey and leave the rest up to Him.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hi Donna, I think that basically, we are to believe what it says-that those who believe that Jesus came from the God to save humanity from sin will be saved and have eternal life instead of judgement.

    Is there something else that you are thinking about this Scripture?
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Donna Can you explain the question better?

    Hi Bro Man shall not love by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

    Bill,

    In Job 23:12, it says "Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips, I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food."



    What really is necessary, Spiritual food, or physical food? We eat three times a day or more, plus dessert. How often do we eat spiritually and feed the soul? Very interesting!

    In John 4:32, after the disciples brought physical food to Jesus, they said to Him, "Master, eat." Jesus answers and says, " I have meat to eat that ye know not of.



    I don't know if you have ever experienced this before, where you are physically hungry, you are physically tired, but then in some way, shape, or form, God ministers through you to someone else, or from someone else to you, and whatever physical hunger you have or physical thirst you have, it doesn't make any difference! You forget about the physical hunger and you are no longer hungry.



    The spiritual food is contentment in and of itself. You are not as hungry as you used to be or as starved as you used to be. Now what is interesting here is that remember the woman left her water pot behind.



    Jesus said you just brought physical food from the city, but I have food to eat that you know not of. He ministered God's word to this woman.
  • The Day of Pentecost and Following - In Reply on Luke 18 - 4 years ago
    Y'all need a music video break :D. Jesus loves us lots.

    Jesus knew that on the Day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit would fill the Disciples with the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit. They would have to get used to hearing Jesus, through their born again spirits. :D

    There's a song I like that gets all the blood pulsing: by Katrina and the Waves, "Walking on Sunshine". But I'm thinking, SONshine.as in Jesus! I think it could be a Sunday praise song that would fully wake up Everyone!! [ switch out baby baby TO Lord Lord Lord]

    The Disciples were mourning; tripping into doubts, messed up. Then Jesus pops in and says HI YALL, why the long faces?

    They went from flatline to " the sky's the limit", in a heartbeat (well except Thomas) :/

    Let's work on that. They saw Jesus and from that day forward, they heard Jesus.

    If we are not hearing Him loud and clear, it may take some humbling, sitting silently in the prayer closet and turn up the volumn on your listening.

    I went through a couple of years of not hearing anything! I was so spoiled that I did not know what to do to make Him talk to me! What happened is I conquered doubts, loneliness, my life of betrayals I had suffered, broken dreams of how my life had imploded, and more. I was delivered from stuff I had long thought buried.

    The Divine Romance was restored. I am His, and He is Mine. Song of Solomon. He belongs to all of us.
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 105 - 4 years ago
    Psalms 105

    The concept of the covenant with Abraham in Genesis was to bring his descendants out of Egypt to fulfill God's promises in Genesis 15. Joseph was sold into slavery later on; and after falsely imprisoned; helped to save his own family from a plague and was highly esteemed in the Pharaoh's presence. There would be a future inheritance of the land of Canaan; as was later instructed to Moses as he was guided by God in the 40 years in the desert after God judged the Egyptians as promised after the 400 years had elapsed. This particular Psalm seems to bypass all the stubbornness of the people; particularly with the provision of the quail which God also used to judge many with a plague when the food was still in their mouths for complaining about their situation with manna and wanting to return to Egypt ( Numbers 11:31-34). Moses himself failed because of anger in the way he struck the rock as stated in verse 41 and that cost him entry into the Promised land; but again God's provision is the only thing mentioned. In all of this and the failures of many Prophets during this period; not to mention the entire original population except for Caleb and Joshua being wiped out in the desert; his original promises were fulfilled and the descendants finally came into the land of promise.

    In Mark10:40 Why does Jesus say to James and John To sit on his right hand and on his left hand is not his to give? Who's is it to give? I'm not asking who it shall be given to, I'm asking who's is it to give?

    Gigi Now I'm only saying this because when I first was informed what I had the best advice by Gods grace

    came from a woman at physical therapy who told me to loose weight. I ask why not being severely large but

    every pound overweight adds seven lbs. to spine, I lost 50 lbs. in ten months lots of water and veggies! Not

    saying it applies just stating something that's a variable with what we deal with. Also found out most physicians

    really have no clue what can be affected, so its been challenging to sort out. Thank Father He put me in the

    right direction when needed. Its one day at a time, in that regard nothing changed headed for the bema!

    Thank you Brother Dan! This day has been heart warming and encouraging by both near and far friends and family. My eye surgery awhile back still seems to make writing and reading a bit difficult. My heart though still desires Christian communication between friends!

    I do hope and pray that you remain well. When it gets a little easier to read again, I would like to participate more.

    Thank you for the scripture today.

    John 3:16

    For God [Jesus] so loved the world he gave his only begotten son So that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

    What am I supposed to do with that?
  • Donna - In Reply on Mark 12 - 4 years ago
    I read that In Hebrew the "one" used in the lord our God is "one" translates as " in unity with".
  • Mishael - In Reply - 4 years ago
    These rooms are like a family sorta. It ministers to several nations. I love it when they visit.

    Unbelievers visit, baby Christians, scholars and everything in between; even heretics ever so often.

    Some people can't attend their churches because of vaccination mandates and other reasons. But we try to Edify those who visit and those who think of this as a wonderful forum for ministry.

    You don't have to reply to anyone who may handle the Word carelessly. As a rule, most are respectful. Real families make real messes occasionally, and it happens here too.

    I hope you'll stop by again. We're Trying to steer us away from redundant repetition of the same subjects. Most people don't know anything about the minor prophets. I never hear them discussed. I trust Jesus to turn this boat. He's the only one who can.

    Isaiah 6:1-10 gets me going. Who will go for US?
  • Bill Meadows on Job 1 - 4 years ago
    Did Job say that his spiritual food was more important than his natural food?
  • Gigi again - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Thanks Rick

    All those things I do. Try to be up and about as much as I can because movement of the spine is beneficial.

    When it gets sore, I do as you've suggested.

    Being off work has been so helpful as I can really do self care. Been dealing with this for about 8 years. But now I believe the inflammation has diminished markedly, so I can do more without the spasms and constant pain.

    But yes, arthritis is not curable or reversible unless the Lord heals, which I pray for. I am thankful for the improvement I have had since being home. I thought when I quit work that I would become more and more disabled. But at this point, I'm in a better place than then. So, Praise be to our Lord and King!

    Thank you for sharing. I hope your condition improves also.

    God's blessings to you today.
