Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 999

That's ok, Gigi,

You should have heard me when I first came on the site 2020 Christmas eve.

I assumed I would be needed as help to fend off false doctrine, I was ambitious and ready to go. I'm sure some remember.

And to top it off once I heard Brother Chris and a few others I was like GREAT TEACHINGS!! And then out of excitement I made the unforgettable comment!! I said- Quoting " I thought this site needed me to help protect it from false doctrine but they have great teachers here!! I don't think that went well. Lol. Then I get into a debate about the marks of a Christian nation and the fruitfulness of our nation, I believe that rub some people wrong and some held that against me till this day.

I've decided to be more of a supporter to those who teach what I believe to be the truth. I struggled and still do as do you, But atleast we're not passive.

God bless.

Bro Alex,

Sorry, my typo. Rather than Matthew 18:13 and 14

It is Matthew 18:3-4

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

God Bless

Tim Have no idea how this ties unto original subject matter so that being said God Bless.

Amen that was powerful

As I begin in Exodus, may the Lord bless my intake of His Word.

I find it wonderful that the Lord greatly increased the people of Israel while in Egypt. They went in as a clan and will leave as a nation. He preserved them over an above what would normally happen in times of slavery, hardship, and opposition. He most likely made the Egyptians turn on them and enslave them so that they would WANT to leave. In generations before they were enslaved, they had a privileged status because of Joseph. Now, a few hundred years later, they were now being despised, counted as suspicious and a thread to the Egyptian rulership. the Hyksos (a Semitic people) had already come into Egypt (after the Israelites) and overthrown the Egyptian rulers, ruling for some time. The Hyksos were eventually overcome and expelled from the Egyptian territory they occupied near the Israelites settlement in Goshen. So, it was probably reasonable for the Egyptians to think that the Israelites may join forces with the Hyksos and overtake Egypt, as had happened before. Killing of infants was probably a way to ensure reduce the population of any future generations, but still preserved the work force for the projects the government had the slaves perform.

It seems throughout the history of Abraham's people, there was a love/hate relationship with Egypt. Egypt spared Abraham's seed from famine on several occasions and in later times, the Israelites joined forces with the Egyptians to fight against invaders from the north (Selucids) and east. But other times, Egypt was aggressive towards Israel when Egypt wished to expand its rule into Palestine.

Bro Alex,

The scripture is talking about becoming like a child - by adopting their nature. Yes, we must assume the nature of a child. Scripture is not to be complicated, on the contrary, God wants his WORD to be easy to understand! Even a child should understand most scripture.

Here Jesus tells us:

Matthew 18:3

"And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."

1- Except ye be converted (We must be Born Again)

2- Become as little children (This means literally become like a child in our nature)

If we don't change, (become Born Again and take on the nature of a child) we will not enter into the kingdom of heaven!

Alex, here is Jesus himself - giving us "The Key" to becoming like a child!

Matthew 18:14

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Do you believe this scripture? Yes, or no?

Jesus tells us in the above verse that if we humble ourselves like a little child - we will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven! The KEY is becoming humble!

So, in summary, Jesus tells us if we want to become like a child we must become HUMBLE.

In my previous posts I listed for you some scripture verses and asked if you believed them, or not, and you have not provided your answers. If you can't comment directly on these specific scripture then it seems to me like you are avoiding it and just reiterating your normal talking points, and not focusing on the selected scripture and topic.

God Bless.

Hi this still doesn't answer my question, can God eyes be in a place and his presence not? Is my question. Thanks for responding though

Brother Rick 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth Faith,Hope,Charity,but the greatest of these is Charity.TL Christians do not follow the herd they follow the word.Mathew 4:4 And Jesus said it is written Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.TL I believe this means with God do everything you can to protect yourself ,and others in all ways allowed by God! Prayer

fasting,Masks, cleanliness ,frankensence,myrr,antiviral, antibacterial,plants that can heal, burnt toast for upset stomache.The list goes on but would like to see others join in as everyone has something to offer!Have started reading the bible again now with Mathew Henry 1710 comments and would like to see more people joining so we as a body can keep ourselves on the right path.Have not been feeling very well the last few day's so asked for prayer at online church ,and felt a touch from the spirit when I read the prayers.Which was wonderful! NOW I just have to put the armour on ,and move forward in the Holy Spirit to be a light to the lost.Let's keep growing ,asking,receiving,believing.God Bless to all who read this!

I'd like to comment on John 3:19. I've always been fascinated or, should I say curious, very curious about why people don't accept the message of the Gospels, namely, Jesus Christ. I mean before God opened my eyes (heart) to the truth of the Gospels, I was as big a sinner as the next man. But, knowing the truth, God's truth......I can see more clearly the cause of mankind's woe. It's of course the rejection of Christ Jesus. The answer I have found is of course in John 3:19. But, even though rejecting Jesus is a choice.....I feel it's also a matter of being deceived by the adversary of our souls. He whispers : it's all foolishness, they're all hypocrites, it's all about rules and regulations, think of all you'll have to give up. On and on. They/we believe the lies. I also see why God is going to judge people so harshly. To reject the sacrifice of His only Son, His most precious possession is truly....well I don't know what to say or how to describe such a thing. I'd like to finish this by saying, I'm so grateful for the Holy Spirit. What a gift. I'm also grateful for the act of reconciliation. If the unsaved would only know that they do not have to be perfect. That they have the gift of reconciliation to get right with God. That's all it would take, just a conversation with the lover of our souls. I hope I haven't taken up to much space.

Dan you are not understanding the Child is not about lil Children in the FLESH....Natural Children will have to be bornagain

Jesus is NOT wanting to sire flesh and blood Children in humanity but the H.G. the Child of Promise . A spritual Child

which is the Child of PROMISE.....The Multiplication of Christ is the H.G. THAT IS GONNA RESULT FROM HIS SEED

the Word sown in our hearts which is the baptism of Promise, Only the baptism of Promise results in multiplication of

Christ in our hearts,That was the great Promise that Christ wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven. And God was

so passionate about this PROMISE HE SWORE BY HIS VERY SELF...Thats y Our lord is saying to whom the WORD

came ( that heavenly seed ) it made them Gods...this is the baptism of Promise that will result after the book is

opened as God told DANIEL IN DAN. 12 : 9...Dan lil Children all carry the stain and the spot of Adam thus they will

all have to be bornagain someday, So Jesus was not talking about flesh and blood Children....He was talking about

his Children that are GONA BE born in us via his Seed the words that are sealed till the last day...Spirits the H.G.

CHILDREN THAT ARE GONNA BE AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN, That Israel of God...The babes and sucklings are his

Children that are gonna be born in US And they praise God perfectly, They are our new heart and new spirits

The CHILDREN OF PROMISE THE H.G....Outa of the hearts of babes and suckling thou has perfected Praise,Thats

our new innerman the H.G. That Child of Promise....Calvary was a blood covenant the lamb of God....not a water

covenant....The water of God is the H.G. the Word which is the blood of GOD...THUS WE ARE MADE CLEAN BY

Words..As Paul said the church has to be made clean by the water of the Word not h20...water baptism

William Rick my apology that was supposed to read mouth to heart then heart to mouth and it does make

a difference its Gods Word.

William Swarathie My bible says in Romans 10:9+10 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus and shall believe in your heart[seat of personal life] basically mean it that God hath raised Him from the dead thou shalt absolute

tense be saved. For with the heart [innermost part of your being] man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth

confession is made unto salvation[complete wholeness]. Notice first part mouth to heart second part mouth to heart.

The rest will absolutely follow!

Spencer, Thank you for explaining. As I said, I am still learning how to use this site.

Lynn God is Spirit John 4:24 we can't physically communicate with God, therefore many times in the scripture all of Gods creation in some aspect is used to describe a characteristic of God I.E. Gods eyes run to and fro in the earth its a figure of speech, God is my fortress and my rock of salvation, my God will bare his arm, God is a fountain of living water.

Now when were born again we again have a spiritual communication with the Father holy spirit 24/7 confessing

Romans 10:9+10 and believing and changing our lifestyle to Gods Word.

Precious friend asked:

Can someone get salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ in any of the four ways:

1. Praying prayer of salvation? Yes, Biblical Luke 18:13-14, if one "believes The Gospel Of GRACE (CHRIST Died for sin, was buried, And Rose Again, According To The Scriptures)" 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, By God's GRACE Through faith Ephesians 2:8-9, (belief) "with the heart" Romans 10:9

IF "NO belief," then, No, praying a prayer is useless.

2. Taking Holy Communion? No, 'tradition' for salvation is UNbelief. The LORD's Supper is simply a "Commemoration" for believers Only, to 'figuratively' "show The LORD's Death Til HE Comes!" 1 Corinthians 11:26

3. Receiving the word of God when preached? No, receiving The Word, but NOT believing It, is not salvation, But, receiving God's Word Of Truth With Glad BELIEF would be Eternal Life!

4. Getting Healed? No. Not salvation, see above.

Precious friend, Thanks for asking Important Bible questions.

Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!

God's 'Simple' Will: Link

Bro Alex,

Jesus in plain language told his disciples:

Matthew 28:19

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

Do you not believe this verse? Yes or No?

After Christs crucifixion: Peter tells us (everyone) how we receive the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:38

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Do you believe this verse? Yes or No?

You mention John 3:37 This is Jesus telling us to drink from his spirit, yes he promises to give us his Holy Spirit, going on - In John 3:38 "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." This confirms that we will receive the Holy Spirit when we believe in Him, repent, be baptized as "all of the scripture" states. We need to read, understand and believe in "all of the scripture" not just "cherry pick" single verses like this - that may meet "your own unique vision" of salvation.

You continually mention the need for us to become like children to enter into heaven. I agree, we need to become like children as commanded by Jesus: Matthew 18:3 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."

The way we become like children - is to become - "like children" - humble, obedient, and submissive to Christs instructions, and commands, as Jesus/God emphasizes throughout the Old, and New Testaments in the bible. The downfall of the Jews and Christians yesterday and today - is the sinful and continual rebellious attitude to obedience toward Gods commands!

Read and believe!

Anyone who live by the Spirit and cease from flesh have boundries established by the Holy Spirit and honor for God and reverence for the Exalted Christ Jesus. When Devil Woeshipers Witchies gang attacks and hit squads stalk a Christian, We are to demonstrate Gods Authority .Possed People have no interst in Love and make fun of it Manipulate loving peoples Sincarity , We must be sure to keep watch because the Devail is a Predator seeking to deour not establishing any loving relationships. Jesus told the Devail where to go he never barging with darkness and neither should we.

I heard someone say the eyes of the lord is everywhere but his presence is not there. His eyes is there but his presence is not? Is this true. I need clarity when the word say God is omnipresent

Dan TY MY MAN but Jesus was not speaking of water baptism when he sends them into all nations,

baptising them in the name of the Father son and H.G. THATS THE BAPTISM OF PROMISE, BEHOLD I SEND

THE PROMISE OF MY FATHER UPON YOU WHICH WAS BAPTISM OF THE H.G. WHICH WAS THE MULTIPLICATION

OF CHRIST A LIL ONE ( THE CHILD OF PROMISE ) ..Dan always remember the baptism of Promise was multiplication

of Christ, a lil one. a baby Christ a birth of Christ in us thats y he always refers to himself as the son of man. Mankind

is gona have a baby Christ. Our new innerman the H.G. The Child of PROMISE... Rev 12 : 5 She brought forth aman

Child that is gonna rule all nations....This is the result of the baptism of Promise via his good seed the word....Unless ya

RECEIVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS A LIL CHILD YOU WILL IN NO WISE ENTER THERE IN....Dan always remember it

was God the Father that made this Great Promise which is a birthing Covenant impling multiplication of Christ.

Smite the sheppard and the sheep will be scattered ( HIS DEATH ) THEN I WILL TURN MY HANDS TO THE LIL ONES

His Children,...The Children of Promise, our new innerman .the H.G. That baptism of PROMISE...OUR NEW BIRTH.

John 7 : 37 when Jesus spoke of water H20 John says this speak he of the Spirit for the H.G was not yet given b/c

that Christ was not yet glorIfied....i.e when Jesus spoke of being born of water he was really speaking of being born

again of the Spirit, For the H.G. was not yet given....Water baptism was neva the baptism of PROMISE....simply b/c

when the FATHER made that great Promise it was about mankind mulltipling Christ via his Seed the words of the book.

When exactly was Eve created?

on Isaiah 11

Isaiah 11:6 should say 'Lion and Lamb' NOT wolf and other changes are also in this book changed by satan it is not the Books of our Lord any more. For those whom want to rebuke or argue about this ......, well I'm sorry you are blinded. For the rest of those seeing this watch for the many changes and follow your heart with a lot of prayers to our Lord for His truth already in your heart. The famine is here, the famine for His Word. Amen

Bro Alex,

Thanks for your response. Respectfully, you are ignoring these simple verses spoken by Jesus:

John 3:5

"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."

Jesus tells us plainly that "we must be born of water" and "of the Spirit". If not, we CAN NOT enter into the Kingdom of God!

God came down to earth to be born as a person in Jesus, so that he could not only tell us what he expects us to do, but he came to be an example. Jesus didn't need to be baptized, but he did, why, TO SHOW US!

Matthew 3:16-17

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Jesus personally showed us in this scripture above that when we believe, repent, and get baptized, we do receive his Holy Spirit. Jesus probably foresaw that there would be future times that people would question his commands - just like some today that are questioning water baptism. Well, he gives us his "perfect example" of what he wants and commands us to do! Christians can't ignore the above scripture!

Bro Alex, are you also going to ignore this scripture Jesus instructing his apostles below:

Matthew 28:19-20

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus says above in addition to baptizing; "observe all things whatsoever I have commanded of you". Jesus tells us that if we follow him - he will be with us always - until the end of the world!

Alex, I'm not instructing you to do these things - Jesus is instructing you - Read and Believe!

Amen! I love these Bible Verses.

Solomon was listed as a true Wiseman ever and believe it or not this man was a love child made in love. He was a man that didn't study war, he knew God but he's a prime example of what happens when a child walks in his father's footsteps and he suffers his father sins and those sins for Solomon were far greater than David's. When it came to women God never denied him the women but he was a fool to think that he could have seven or 800 wives and 300 concubines and it not affect his life in anyway. Face it his body may have been strong enough to withhold that kind of demand, yet his heart became divided and the thing that he took pleasure in most was the thing that brought him to his knees, causing him to misplace love and loyalty to his God. Thats when you see the foolishness in the hearts of the wisest man that ever lived. It may be hard for you to celebrate this wise black man but when you stop and look at his accomplishments the things he was able to do without a sword and when you look at the wisdom of God manifested in his kinship then you know deeply every man must constantly examine his love and his loyalty to God each man has an Achilles' heel thorn in the flesh is Paul described it a thing that drives you haunt you and wakes you in the midnight hours the only way to kill that beast it's a prayer fasting and a circumspect of walk before God

Dan Jesus said John baptised you with water But i will baptise you with the H.G. and fire, 3 times this is recorded

in the N.T...Even John who gave us water baptism told Jesus i have need to be baptised of you....he must increase

but i must decrease....John knew that the Cross was a Blood covenant. not a water Covenant...Thats y John said

behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world...Gods Lamb was the Blood....AND IT WAS FINISHED

AT Calvary thus we cannot add anything to it.....Period

This is what i believe with all of my heart. That Woman in Rev 12 : 5 is the result of the New Covenant The words

of God ( the seeds of the sower ) being deposited in mankinds hearts ...As our hearts is the field the world where

the Seed is gonna be sown....Thats y he has to know US There has to be gestation in the Spiritual realm,Thats y he

saying that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit, which is the Child of Promise the H.G. Emanuel God within US...Its the

H.G. that comes in his name. As he said the Father will send the H.G. in my name,Thus he is truly the Father of the H.G.

Jesus is truly the Father of the Womans Child simply b/c it was Christ's good seed that impregnated the woman by

hearing . As faith comes by hearing the word his seed and faith is the substance of things hope for the evidence of

things not seen...a spritual pregnancy ( the Woman in rev 12 : 5 ) ...By Faith Sarah received strength to birth Issac

when she was passed age....This woman in Rev. 12 is the best example of faith, She birth a baby Christ, the H.G.

The real Child of Promise And whosoever receives one such Child in my name receives me. And thats y they refer

to Jesus as the BRIDEGOOM, He has a seed to sow in all the world...27 times in the O.T. The Prophets saw the

World in travail and birth pains.

Goodmorning Gigi.

I've returned to answer a few questions you asked me.

You asked: how I was disrespectful?

Well, the original post was 2 days ago, and you never responded to the lady's posting, "April" that's why I said these posts are not directed at you. If so, the original reply would have been sent to you. I was expanding on at topic that come up often that I didn't have time to engage in but said I would when time permits.

You posted addressed to me before I ever responded to the post, I gave an "Amen to Brother Jesse post and to Grace post, with the focus on water baptism isn't required for salvation. That was the narrative!

You quoted "I am not saying that water baptism saves. I am saying it is the act of obedience" whether water baptism is out of obedience or for salvation is 2 different narratives and this post was dealing with the salvation issue. Your focus seemed to be on me as I second and supported others in the tread.

And no, you don't have less privilege in posting your viewpoint on the subject because you are new to the site, but your viewpoint should have been addressed to April that way we would have stuck to the narrative, "Does water baptism saves" you said you doesn't believe it does, but you colleagues believe otherwise.

You stated.

Now quoting:

I am not trying to be contrary here. I can tell you may be a bit bothered. We disagree on this subject. I'm good with that. We both can post our viewpoints and respond to posts as we see fit. Well, you have been given that respect, give it to others. Adress your viewpoint to the post not to the responders or to someone saying "Amen" especially if we agree on the narrative. "Is water baptism for salvation". Dispensation and transitional period were just embodied in the discussion and wasn't to take precedence over the narrative.

I hope this explains

GOD BLESS.

There are some posting in this thread that are content ignoring tons of bible scripture as long as their preconceived salvation narrative of faith+grace and not much else is preached. Many are comfortable ignoring and telling others to ignore Christs (numerous) commands to be baptized in water and follow the commandments, among other things.

Christ tells us to pick up our crosses and follow him!

Today, many twist Pauls words to reflect their misguided salvation message. Paul does not cancel the words spoken by Jesus/God. If you believe that the words of Jesus should be ignored please read this scripture below:

Matthew 24:35

"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow!

Please read your bible and Believe!

Tim The tribulation your speaking of in Romans 5:3 is the word [thlipsis or mental pressure] because of the

unbelief we are surrounded with in this world. Also God does not give us mental pressure this is our adversary

trying to set us up to draw us away from Gods Word and walking by the spirit.
