    It just says you have to do god's work
  • Manuel Teixeira on 1 Thessalonians 4 - 4 years ago
    Jugment is naturally required before the reward is given! Jesus comes to give to each one, according with his deeds, in christ or not. What is not from faith is sinfull. God prepared the good works before we came into this world of sin, through The Lamb of God, His Begotten Son, who was slain before the foudation of the world.

    Christ's deeds were a man's deeds by Faith alone, with the ministy of angels and the Holy spirit, like any other man! The diference being that Jesus didn't sin! His Justice was accepted by God and the 24 Helders in heaven's Council, near God's Throne: Apocalypse chapters 4 and 5.

    When I accept Jesus as my personal savior and Master, in the full capacity of my mind and with an undivided heart, practice that kind of faith wich works through love, for others. Jesus knows if I'm His disciple,by putting Him on the first place on my dayly choices, by faith on Jesus Faith.

    On the Israelyte's sanctuary, at the end of the year, on attonement's day, the High priest, representing Christ Ministry on Heaven after ressurection, symbolicaly executed a jugment and condemnation, upon the two goats, one was sacrificed as a type of Jesus death on the cross, and the other one sent to the desert, to die having recieved the sins of the congregation. Those were figures of the true sanctuary on Heaven and the fate of those who reject Jesus blood, with intent or by convenience or compromise with what is agains't God's Principles resumed on the Law given to Mouses, and wich transgression took Jesus's life as a ransom for sin's debt fulfilling God's Justice wich is inseparable from His Mercy, to complet God's Perfect Love. Is dangerous to think less from the victory wich Jesus mentioned for those who will be savel, as writen on apocalypse on the leters adressed to seven churches, and repetidly enphasized By Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Begotten Son of God. Saying LORD Lord, isn't enough for God's Kingdom.Paul died for himself and lived for Christ. He won Jesus's Crown.

    Hi Brother Dan.

    I hear often how simple scripture is to understand bur yet the Bible is the most debated collection of books ever.

    Flesh is what Satan works with to confuse, that's why Jesus says John 8:43-47. also

    John 10:27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

    They don't become his sheep by following him. They follow him "because they hear his voice " And he lay them down in green pasture. You'll see the results in fruit barring. Something the Law and those who desire to be under it cannot do.

    Jesus/truth is a stumblingblock unto them.

    Touching scripture Jesus says

    John 5:38-39.

    And the writer to the Hebrews-

    Hebrews 10:7. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

    Jesus came to minister reconciliation by means of "GRACE by faith" to a lost and condemned world. This grace is emphasized all through scripture and climax at the cross.

    Romans 4:11.And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also.

    Hebrews 10:5-9. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

    In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

    Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

    Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

    Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

    This is revealed in the heart of those who believe.

    Any message deviates from this reveals the blindness mentioned.

    God bless.

    Alex N. The dove in middle east culture represents purity, is always a good message, symbol

    of peace, and hope also the dove has no gallbladder. Its like the cloven tongues like as a fire

    at pentecost representing Gods spirit burning up our old man nature like the twenty four hour

    burn't sacrifice being made for israel only this time Not man made. What God does is permanent

    in revelation everything evil will be toast one way or another.

    Why do l hide Gods word in my heart, when i should be sharing the word with unbelievers ?
  • Gigi - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Alex

    Once again you weave together various texts with commentary to promote a narrative that is far from the intent of the Scripture you refer to.

    To me, I just cannot receive such convoluted "editing" of Scripture.

    But as to your mention of the dice as a manifestation of the Holy Spirit at Jesus' baptism,

    I really don't think one can say "why" the Spirit chose this as His representation at this event because the text of Scripture no where connects this aspect of the event to any Scripture before or after the event. I leave the "why" of it to God's counsel , not man's.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Mishael When I look at this record I look at how a man of God who knowing Gods heart ask forgiveness

    fasted and mourned for the child but when he heard the child had died, didn't dwell on it he got his regular

    outfit on and started being the leader God called Him to be again. He didn't dwell on the error because he

    knew there was no profit in it. in psalm 51 he knew his sin was so egregious that in verse 11 cast me not from thy

    presence and take not thy holy spirit from me that's intense. Psalm 51 is the tremendous record of acknowledgement

    of His sins understanding what he's made of and getting back with His God.

    Hi Free

    I meant to us "of" not "if"

    Sorry, my typo
  • Jcbu undercover - In Reply - 4 years ago
    God bless free I do believe people speak in tongues of angels as I have heard pastors speak of it in small settings.it must be a wonderful blessing to do.And a great connection to the Holy Spirit! Just something that has not happened yet to me.But I do believe the bible.If a person can see the Spirit in others it would be a discerning gift to know as I am sure that is how God will find us believers when he calls us.
  • Ronald Whittemore - In Reply on Revelation 17 - 4 years ago
    Hey Tharlene,

    The seven heads are seven mountains which are seven kings/kingdoms, and at the time of John, five have fallen 1. Egypt, 2. Assyrians conquered the 10 tribes, 3. Babylonian the Chaldeans, 4. Medo-Persian, 5. Greek empire, 6. Roman empire, the one that is at the time of John, when he was given the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and the seventh is yet to come. I do not think we will know this one until the end starts.

    There are quite a few opinions out there on this. Some consider Rome and the Catholic Church to be a part of it because the city is known for the city on seven hills and the Holy Roman Empire as the seventh. My understanding, considering he must continue a short space does not fit that because the Holy Roman Empire was around hundreds of years.

    Many things are taught covering the end times, many looks for the Church to be taken out before the tribulation starts. My understanding, scripture does not support this, and many will be lost when it starts. Those who are living must be ready, strong in our faith, same as the ones in the past as well some today when they were persecuted, beheaded, and killed in horrific ways for their belief in Jesus.

    I could write more, and I know this may not answer your question, but may it help. Some things have not been revealed and many teachings are full of deception. Pray and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide you. We are to watch and be ready regardless of what comes, even if we face death because we know when it is done, we will be with Him and as He laid down His life for us, our life is His.

    God bless,

  • King David and Bathsheba's First Baby - 4 years ago
    2 SAMUEL 11:

    26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

    27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done DISPLEASED THE LORD.

    2 SAMUEL 12:

    14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

    15 And NATHAN departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.

    16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

    18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?

    19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

    20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

    21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.

    22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?

    Comment: this may be one time when a child died because ones actions. This is just something to consider. It bears no relevance to other comments. Mishael

    Plz forgive me i donot wish to offend anyone....Just been looking at John 13 : 8 KJV.....They had all been water Baptised but Jesus still had to wash their feet ( their hearts) ...Its the things that come from the HEART that defiles a man....But to eat with unwashed hands ( or feet ) defileth not a man....Jesus said if i wash thee NOT you will have NO PART with me...But they had all been previously water baptised....This passage speaks volumes of another baptism....another covenant a heavenly Covenant a Blood Covenant .....H.G. BAPTISM....Just think of this passage, He tells his own disciples that had been water baptised , If i wash thee Not you will have no part with me. They wd have to be washed in the BLOOD OF THE LAMB...That new covenant in his blood, Calvary etc...Behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the WORLD...Jesus is impling you will have no part with him by water baptism only Simply b/c only his blood can make our hearts clean....Which is the function of the H.G. BAPTISM...And he is gonna give everyone us this free GIFT...Remember he said them that be whole need not physician but them that sick...Thats everybody we are ALL SICK according to our old adamiic nature...We all must be bornagain of his seed the words of the new covenant.

    GRACE [ChrisE] Also before the priest in Exodus and Leviticus could enter the tabernacle they bathed in water

    and had to put on ceremonial robes Ex. 40:12+13 and Lev. 1:9,13, and 6:28 and 8:6 the Priesthood and Aaron

    and His Sons.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Genesis 19 - 4 years ago
    Jocelynne Bell Being born again because that would be impossible unless Jesus Christ died resurrected and

    Sat at Gods Right hand completing His Ministry and also the proof is manifesting that spiritual power given of christ

    one of those being speaking in tongues one of the evidences. It would be impossible to do that same with all the

    others. All this is part of the witness of the resurrection! Blessed are those who have not seen and believe!

    Before he was resurrected in Mathew 27:62-66 the bad guys ask pilate to post guards and to seal the tomb and

    in Mathew 8:11-15 when it was reported that he was missing the soldiers were paid off to lie and say His body

    was stolen. Still nothing Will ever stop Gods Will being done, even in our lives when we rise up and believe.
  • Bill George on Psalms 146 - 4 years ago
    A wonderful psalm that exalts the Lord and all His glorious works to save man from the sins that so easily beset us. And warns against confidence in mankind and in prince's that can not do what God did and is doing to exalt His glorius plans to bring in Jesus the Christ of God the Father as mankind's Prphet, Prist, and King of the earth. Praise the one true living God and Father in Jesus Holy name for His goodness and His wonderful works to the children of men. Amen.

    Raphael Gods word doesn't say so my position don't know but there was something there.
  • Bro dan - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Brother James,

    Amen. I agree with you, we need to keep it simple.

    Most scripture is easy to understand, if read with honesty and sincerity, and "accepted into our heart and mind as stated". God wants us to understand!

    Where we run afoul, is when we ignore some scripture, or we try to make scripture mean something that is abnormal.

    God Bless You.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Jim Totally different situation because this couple didn't in the context of what was said weren't doing anything

    wrong Davids sin was great enough that it brought the beginnings of troubles in his Kingdom from that time forward

    in His reign. The grace is God did not take His spirit from Him and Solomon was His successor. When David walked

    out of fellowship and for sometime because that didn't happen overnight, then he no longer had Gods protection.

    Same is true today if a believer decides to buck against God, his hands are tied.
  • Bro dan - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Dear Free,

    I read this too, and I do not believe Sister GiGi meant "and if the Holy Spirit" I believe it was meant to read - "and of the Holy Spirit". Sometimes this happens.

    God Bless.
  • Bro dan - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Dear Sister GiGi,

    Amen, and thanks for your clarification on this issue.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Luke 18 - 4 years ago
    Gigi I never stated what you responded to, 1 Corinthians states the natural man mane receiveth not the

    things of the spirit of God neither can he know them. The bible says they didn't understand until pentecost

    spiritually, that's why Jesus christ said to Peter Flesh and Blood has not revealed who I am to you.

  • You Don't Want To Miss This One-__Mishael - In Reply on Genesis 19 - 4 years ago
    You could be sure if you googled:

    "King James Bible, History"

    The Gospels were written by 4 of Jesus's Disciples. Peter wrote some, Paul, 1-2-3 John, Jude (Jesus' 1/2 brother), and others who traveled with Jesus.

    Eyewitness accounts should count for Truth.

    People say to me all the time: well why doesn't Jesus do something like split the Red Sea again, or split some lake in the USA?!

    That's not going to convince you. Almost everyone in here has been born again and tells their own testimonies of how they came to believe. There's even a link on the Red Link Page named: TESTIMONIES. Another link is called BECOME A BELIEVER, so you can see what that involves.

    What do you have FAITH in? Make a list. Sometimes it's helpful.

    2 Peter chapter 3 says that this world as we know it is going to be burned up. God I'd going to cleanse all the harm that mankind has damaged it with.

    ITS NOT GLOBAL WARMING. The earth is responding to what scripture says is going to happen. No amount of money can save this earth. Politicians know there's a problem; they just don't want to believe God is going to do it.

    I want to CHALLENGE you to listen to a sermon from one of my preacher friends. He's from Texas; a lot older now (like me) but this sermon may change your mind?

    YouTube Search: Dwight Thompson

    The video to choose is: 1hour and 55 minutes

    Title: the Rapture and What To Do If You Miss It?

    Like me, he's an old Evangelist. He can get loud, but he's gonna give it to you straight, no frills.

    I'm praying for you to find faith in the Son of God, Jesus, before it's too late. May the Holy Spirit watch the video with you. Amen
