Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 985

Thanks Jim, that's an interesting perspective. Except that the way I read it, is that it wasn't a dove or even a shape of dove that came upon Jesus, but the manner of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Him.

Dear "Gigi". That was a good suggestion.

Then I see you dear, in peace that there may be some in here who are stubborn and have their own thoughts, and may not want to tell if they go away from their statements or hold on to them. In this way, it can increase the confusion over God's word instead of giving peace. And will not repent from the hard black to the white and the Light. Or what do you think?

2 Chorintians 12 1-10

God bless u in Jesus Holy Name.

Good to know no more circumcision needed. We are now saved through the Holy Ghost so long as we avoid false idol worship and fornication among other things.

Hallo Dear sibling i Christ. Now, i was so glad, but i also felt huge joy in the Holy Spirit when you read my message last time. : D. Of course I will pray for you and your calling. And He thank you for what you do for those outside, i lift you up to Jesus. He who can bear all our burdens. He happily took them on. Just as we are taught to do for ours. In Patience and not least of infinite love. God bless you in the Name of Jesus. We support each other, without seeing each other. That is what happened on Pentecost and much more that we do not understand, at least not all, yet. But everyone should understand everything in the end.

I will gladly read all books inspired by the Holy Ghost. And pray for them to come out. I write too, but that's my life. Which no one can believe or measure up to. We all have our cramps and frailties. Our cases that are only private. Then there are some people who have (do not believe in themselves) But believe that others can be saved through them. : D.

I think about the Bible too. Why do we only get a little of what Peter wrote, for example? We should have read more of the scriptures!

Now i know a person who has many visions and wonders to look at. And is blessed with many gifts. (do you know what word I got today)?

2 Corinthians 1-13.

Nor will i brag and praise myself. And neither do you. For all things are for the glory of God in the holy name of Jesus Christ, by the Holy Ghost which is in us.

Yesterday when i lifted you up before the Lord, He spoke to me and i will do an act of faithfulness to Him today. I should notice the time.

And i got peace for that. So my friend keep your faith and continue on the path of faith that the Lord has laid out for you. He is with you all the days of your life. Be blessed in the Powerful Name of Jesus.

GiGi...

what I meant by that is that God put a baby inside Mary...Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of our Father God...so yes he got his son that way..I didn't mean he literally came down and impregnated her psychically..it was through the Holy Ghost...but Jesus is father Gods son literally..he has the same power of God "becouse" he is his son..sorry to confuse you with how I worded my last post...Jesus is the son of God..everyone knows that of course...and we shouldn't say he dosen't have power as God the father has power becouse he dose...thats why we end our Prayers with "In Jesus Name" ..and why it says in Acts 2:38 to Baptize in the name of Jesus Christ ..and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost...being filled with the Holy Ghost is very important...we will speak in tongues when we get filled with the Holy Ghost..anyone who experiences this gift from God knows what I mean...

also John 3: says

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

this is how important being filled with the Holy Ghost is....Thank you for your comment and reply..have a good day GiGi..

Catherine.

No one will miss the rapture , the reality is Every eye will see Him COMING ! be ready ...

Rick, I quoted John 20:22. So I will stick with that, as the Holy Spirit indwells believers, as the disciples were at that time.

There is no where in Scripture that says that regeneration only happened after Pentecost. But John 20:22 does indicate it. As in Genesis, God spoke and it came to be at the speaking of His word. So it is in John 20:22. He gave the Holy Spirit to His disciples when He spoke and breathed. Just as in Genesis when God breathed into Adam, Jesus breathed the

Spirit into the disciples, I believe.

There is nothing to say that they received the Spirit at a later date. In Acts chapter 1, Jesus said that they will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon them, but it does not say they did not already have the Spirit in them nor did it say that they would be saved by the Spirit coming upon them. Don't you think that Jesus would have said that they became believers or saved if that is what happened when the Spirit came upon them? It would seem that that would be an important thing to distinguish since He told the apostles to make disciples and baptize them.

Anyway, you asked me a question and I have answered even though it seems you have moved on from your recent post to me.

We are living this right now!

Plague, perilous times etc. Haters of GOD

Oops Catherine

I meant to say God's Son but these phone letters are soooo tiny!

Have a good evening

Hi Catherine, blessings

It is the best thing to know Jesus our Lord!

I do have one comment about your post.

You said that God put part of himself in Jesus ( or something close to that)

My understanding is that God cannot be divided into portions or parts ( though He is three persons, but one essence)

So, I believe that 100% of the Son of God incarnated into the person if Jesus. This means Jesus was 100% Gid's Sin and 100% human man.

Perhaps you were trying to say that. I am not sure.

Hi Ronald

I agree that we need to ready ourselves for the coming trials.

I mentioned recently to my pastor's wife (a dear friend) that we should be training our children up to be mature not Bible School buddies knowing what may lie ahead for them.

Studying the lives of the martyrs should be encouraged and we should be aware of how and where Christians are being persecuted and martyred today.

You are right, we need to have a faith that is tough enoughbtobendure many hardships, trials, etc . As the apostles and believers of the early centuries.

May we all be strengthened and made bold in these times

Chris

What does the Dove symbolize? It describes the nature of Jesus Christ ministry. A peaceful loving ministry. A ministry of love. The love where he laid down his life for those who look to him for guidance and strength. When he was being put to death he said forgive them for they know not what they do. Luke 23:34

I was thinking the same & it has been accurate so far,thanks & Be Blessed as well.

Jim Then explain to me 1 Corinthians 15:54+55 death is swallowed up in victory and Jesus Christ who always

did the fathers will healed all that believe and raised the dead. In the old testament if you say God lifted His

hand of protection and grace due to not following his commandments and that allowed the adversary to do what

does that's one thing because as long as Israel obeyed Him they weren't touched but when they walked away

from him His hand was lifted and calamity resulted not Gods Fault same happened in Eden when Adam and Eve

disobeyed calamity resulted because of unbelief not keeping his commandment. God is the author life but when

man disobeys he is subject to the consequences of the god of this world the adversary.

You know, I was thinking about that this afternoon how the questions that come up seem to repeat around some recurring ideas. I don't think that is good or bad. It is just what happens in an organic forum like this.

My thoughts this afternoon was that perhaps the site admin could scoop up all the posts on these recurring themes and put them in some "folder" on the topic that does not get deleted so people can read the discussions over time, not just the last 72 hours as it is on the topics pages.

That way, we can refer folks to the extensive conversations without needing to repeat what has been posted before.

I hear what you are saying about end gimes. We should be aware and watchful, being ready for our Lord. However, when I read the epistle letters, the emphasis is more on doctrine and how we are to live in community than info on end times.

So I thin balance is in order, we are ready and watchful, but also about the task of building one another up in the most holy faith, supporting and equipping evangelists and those who are to share the gospel as a living, raising our families up in the fear and admonition of the Lord, and living a quiet, godly life in this wicked generation.

Is wormwood a preventative measure for illness, or a descriptive term for punishment?

Jesus would have been in Nazareth in his parents home learning the trade of his father who was a carpenter. Mar 6:3

Thanks, Chris

Your comments were helpful.

Yes Jesse, I was.

It seems to have been mixed in between some replies.

Sorry, I should have named you on my post.

I wish everyone look through 20-40 pages of Past Room History and count how many comments were about: Sabbath, Water Baptism or dates of Jesus's birth or death;

There are a lot of end time events happening today. They coincide with events in Daniel, some minor prophets, what Jesus, Peter, Paul, John the Beloved spoke of.

Israel is barely 10 miles wide. Joggers can run it forward and back every day; if not for tunnels, drones, snipers, etc. Things the Jews dig up almost every day. Do we pray for their wonder and excitement to find that maybe Jesus is/was their Messiah? The Palestinians are searching for the Mahdi to be revealed? They hemorrhage on YouTube every day, which group is going to fight another group and then March on Israel.

These are (wars and rumors of wars). We'd do well to keep an ear to the ground. Tracking earthquakes, disasters, financial shifting, are other SIGNS.

We are admonished to watch and pray, be looking up; be ready (10 virgins) AND TO SPOT THE SIGN: the Temple Built, and a world leader sitting on the Throne of David.THE ABOMINATION of DESOLATION.

Take Syria. Word says they will be totally destroyed to the ground. China and Russia may use the restored Silk Road for trade, ship oil or troops.

There are so many other inspiring stories in the Bible. Like when Nehemiah rebuilt the walls. Those things parallel to Intercessory Prayer; watch towers; spiritual warfare. I always try to make sure I keep my eye on Jesus who is interceding for the Saints. Do we truly Love Him well?

Feed My Sheep. John 21:14-22

Jesus is asking all of us that same question.

I say this with great humility and soberness: Jesus says, feed my sheep; carry my lambs in you arms of prayers. Lift up the fallen. The body of Christ is separated from the Head. Let's get connected. Anything we do for self__is FLESH.

If I offended anyone, I'm not going to stroke any egos (including mine). Lift up Jesus.

JOHN 12:32

JOHN 3:14

Rick

As far as you know that couple wasn't doing anything wrong but let us be careful concerning what God sees. Most of the people didn't know what David did but the Lord God did. People loyal to David would have backed up David much the same way you backed up this couple. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying their baby died for anything they did or didn't do, I'm saying we need to be very careful speaking for God. Consider Jobs friends. They thought they were defending God but He accuses them of not being correct. The thing is God is in full control of this world and can give or take life as he sees fit.

There is one place where God took many lives, old people, middle age, young and children. Gen 6:7

Another place is Gen 19:24-25

Thanks for your time.

Jim

Richard Thanks for that kundalini info looked it up and ties into a lot with numerous things happening,

again anything to not believe in God or Jesus Christ or of course His word.

Robert Hello sir take a look at luke 4:16 is what I read also mathew 13:54-58 tells you what they thought

about Jesus Christ and the family.

Very good observations, Richard. The World, both political & religious, are edging closer each day to what the Bible foretells will happen one day. We shouldn't be surprised - but remain alert.

The sons of Korah had a dark history when the earth swallowed those directly involved in the rebellion in Numbers 16 where 250 were swallowed up by the earth and apparently went to hades immediately and while still alive. There could certainly be a recognition of the fate by the author who apparently at the very least was sympathetic to what happened. In regard to the text; where he says he is in the lower parts of the earth (v.6); and the hopelessness personally expressed here as in no other section of scripture it is certainly conceivable that he had a real revelation of hell. Such torments as listed in the Parable of Lazarus and the rich man

(starting in Luke 16:20) illustrate an account of an individual still in hell today from real life who is the nameless rich man. Such is the situation of the lost after death and this chapter should be enough to scare someone straight to repentance realizing there is no hope apart from Christ. Sadly; though when the rich man sought for someone to be raised from the dead he was told by Abraham that they would not listen; and the implication is that even those who see many not believe-as is evidenced by the rebellious Jews in the Book of Acts.

For the heart to respond it must be changed from the stony heart to one of flesh ( Ezekiel 11:19). It must be something which God grants to His elect; no man comes to Christ unless the Father draws Him first ( John 6:44). May He grant that to some today.

Hello Roni. Apart from what we read in Genesis chapters 6 to 8, we have little else to help us know exactly what this covering of the Ark was. We do know that in the construction of the Ark, God required a window be made ( Genesis 6:16) - maybe for light & ventilation. This window would have probably been at the highest point of the Ark (a cubit = < 2 ft), below the sloping roof line & may have extended the length & breadth of both sides of the Ark. It could be that a part of this window, or another aperture lower down, was covered (with some sort of skin or wood) that could be easily removed for Noah to view the outside world (or, sea levels). Just a few of my imaginations - others might have other thoughts.

Tharlene The kjv is in my opinion as good as it gets and calling Jesus, Jesus Christ or Lord which is in respect

of His role in our lives as our Lord and Saviour or Christ the Lord so stick with kjv and stay blessed. Follow your

heart and God will show you the way.

Where was Jesus between 12 years old hand 33 years old.

Psalm 83: A study from end times perspective

The confederate grouping of immediate nations of Israel determined to cause their destruction is the prime reason the nation is walled today; and has such an emphasis on military reprisals. It makes sense, therefore that Antichrist will formulate his peace treaty after aiding Israel in defeating the surrounding nations. This makes the future Ezekiel 38 war with outer nations make more sense; since after such a covenant they will indeed feel secure; and probably rapidly become an unwalled nation. If Antichrist is involved with the many other nations such as Iran, Turkey; Syria; and the southern Mediterranean Muslim contries and likely the Gulf states already leaning in that direction; it would seem to insure that all remaining threats have been taken care of. In light of Saudi Arabia's plan to control the Dome of the Rock mosque; there are already signs that the Palestinians aren't really a concern to them; and a shifting control which would benefit the rest of the Muslim world to get a foothold there at the places of worship.

We should also examine the countries such as Turkey which are highly radical; yet have Imams meeting with the Sanhedrin today. There is a mutual desire for combined worship among Jews, Muslims; and Apostate Christianity particularly focused with recent activities with the Vatican. Much of the mystical branches of Islam; as well as other Eastern religions are seemingly close to development of a world wide "Babylon" religion. This is verified by recent Popes having prayer groups from all religions including tribal. We see ecumenicalism; and of course the Kundalini type manifestations in many churches today.

Antichrist must utilize this religion the first few years before he destroys it so that he can get all the worship himself. It is likely the 10 kings are already established as most leaders possess an antichrist spirit and are looking for one world government.

Roni Just asking are you thinking physical covering or opening on the side, also the ark was made of gopher

wood [cedar cypress or possibly fir] and pitch.
