Romans 1:31 in King James Version mentions 5 characteristics, while all others versions mention only 4 "implacable" seems to be extra in the KJV, or otherwise, the other versions seem to have left out this point ?..which is curious, looking up the definition of implacable , it would seem an important aspect of the character they are trying to descibe here.

Yes, thank you so much for added!! Most important a relationship with CHRIST our savior!!, The full amour of GOD

Acts 19:13-16

Brother Rick, You said spirit of truth and spirit of error can not come from the same source.

I though God was the ONLY source of every thing.

Colossians 1:16 For by him were ALL THINGS created, that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and INVISIBLE. whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or POWERS: all things were created by him, and FOR HIM.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against principalities. against POWERS, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

All these things we fight against in Ephesians 6:12 are the same things that he created for HIMSELF in Colossians 1:16

2 Thessalonians 2:8 Then shall that Wicked be revealed.....

2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him (that wicked), whose coming is after the working of SATAN with all POWERS and signs of lying wonders,

2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness IN THEM that perish; because THEY received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 FOR THIS CAUSE shall GOD shall send them strong delusion that they should BELIEVE A LIE.

Man says this verse is talking about that ONE ANTI CHRIST, but verse 10 SAYS THEM AND THEY. That's more than one.

Ephesians 2:2 Where in time past ye also walked according to the course of this world (FLESH), according to the prince (Satan)of the POWER of the air ( 2 Thessalonians 2:9), the SPIRIT that now worketh in the children of disobedience (Satan).

2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall CONSUME with the spirit of his mouth (the WORD) and the brightness (the LIGHT) of his coming ( Hebrews 9:28).

Exodus 20:4, do u think GOD left pictures out of HIS WORD on purpose? Exodus 20:1-6

Close to bedtime, in the background is my sweet wife, 19 year old son and 21 year old daughter singing in harmony in the kitchen about the Tree of Life. I wish i could share these blessings with you all in person.

Love to you all. God bless our faithfulness.

:)

Interesting insight very encouraging for moments we are going forward in that perspective.

I've thought of it many times as even though knowing the outcome Paul through Jesus' example was able to face adversity regardless of the outcome. Luke 9:22, Luke 9:44, Luke 18:31-33, Matthew 16:21-27, Matthew 17:22-23, Mark 8:31-38,

John 21:15-19,

Old Testament 2 Kings 2:1,2,3,5,9,11,12,

Thank you brother for sharing what you did - I'm sure that you have also been a great encouragement for us to seek the Lord with all of our being, to please Him in every area of our lives, & to make His Love known to all who give us an ear.

There is one aspect of reading the whole Bible & therefore gaining a working knowledge of its contents and another aspect of knowing all the intracacies of biblical Truth. I don't believe that on this side of Heaven, anyone can claim such knowledge, for often that runs very deep & we are not privy to all the circumstances, the people & the background in those accounts. Indeed, we need to always grow in the knowledge of the Word, but that takes time & shouldn't be an excuse to prohibit us from reaching out to others.

You have a very genuine love for the Lord & to share that love with others. Your testimony, your full belief in the Truth of the Gospel & the power therein ( Romans 1:16), & a readiness to speak with people where they're at in their lives, offering them the hope that you also have in Christ, is all you need. God's Spirit in you will surely delight to use you, for this is the very reason for His Coming ( John 16:8): to speak forth the Good News to those sitting in darkness ( Luke 1:79) - that you might be His mouthpiece to declare the Glory of God & of His Son & shine His Light. Yes, there will be testing times (Satan does not appreciate his dark evil domain being infused with God's Light), but "greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world" ( 1 John 4:4). Do you believe that brother? Then you can trust Him for not only that power to witness, but to minister to your family needs, job situation, rejection by others, & so on. Faith is indeed the victory that overcomes the world ( 1 John 5:4) & the Spirit in you knows this & will honour His Presence & His Word - that you will lack nothing & remain fearless in your walk in Christ. I leave this great Benediction with you - in Hebrews 13:20,21. Every blessing.

I have a praise report for you Kent! The speech therapist was very very happy with her session with my grandson speech today. He did exceptionally well. May God of Abraham bless you.

Matthew 6:29, Matthew 12:42,

I have understood in wisdom & splendor Solomon was famous, 1 Kings 4:1,21,22,23,24,25,26,27, 1 Kings 4:29-34

However 1 Kings 11:4,

very good verse!!!

Thank you!

Hi Rick.

Great scriptural contrast and point.

God bless.

Vrs. Stated above = When she prays or prophesieth. Also 1 Corinthians 11:10

Matthew 6:5-6

Dear Chris M, It is hard to know exactly what you are referring to, without knowing to what you speak. Unless these fond memories of yours consist of sinful pleasure, or things contrary to scripture I see no need to "reject" them. It may be, that through God's providential leading, that these lead you to Him. The Bible speaks to the goodness of God that leadeth us to repentance. I would also remind you however, that Satan can present himself as an "angel of light." Some memories can cause you to stumble. I'll give you an example, lets say one of those fond memories was having a wonderful time with a relative on a fishing trip. No problem, if say you consider a fond memory as "out drinking someone" at the local pub, and being the record holder, then I'd say "get rid of it." Make new memories preaching repentance and point others to Christ at that pub! Paul covered this in Phil 4, some great "do's and what to think upon." So many times did the writers of the New testament say "remember." "Stir up our remembrance..." remember and follow my example, Paul said. Paul also said "forgetting those things behind, I press toward toward the mark...Some memories are not bad, but not best compared to service for our Lord. "I would encourage you do a word study on "remember." Ask God to lead you and he will. Then, as you grow in grace, you will know. Being a Christian is a journey.

This message is to anyone reading this discussion. Beware of false teaching that goes against the Bible.

John 8:44

Satan is a liar and murderer. He is NOT good. The result of his actions and deeds are all bad. Beware of any lies you hear saying that good is bad and bad is good. Satan whispers lies in people's ear and they believe him and repeat it. Sometimes even Christians believe lies so they will be deceived into disobeying God, following the world instead of Jesus. Unfortunately there have been unbiblical ideas and falsehoods posted publicly that aren't from God, including on discussions like this.

God gave mankind freewill to choose good or evil. Many choose evil. God didn't do that, man did. God loved you enough to allow you to choose, even if you choose evil. He didn't make you a puppet or a robot- if He did, you would complain about that too. He allows sin to occur and that adversely affects innocent people. This life is very short. It's sad that some lives end sooner than expected, but all will be judged and face consequences for their actions in the end and have their opportunity for reward or punishment. 2 Corinthians 5:10.

It's right to stand up for Jesus, for God's Word, and truth in the face of attacks. We live in an era of lies and we all know who the father of lies is. Resist the devil and he will flee. Love the truth and pray for wisdom and understanding of scriptures. 2 Thessalonians 2:10

Stacey, What a testimony! The Lord is truly powerful in your life. I am glad you kept believing even when things looked bad. God is Good. Thank you Yahweh for healing Stacey.

A few meditations on another covering besides the hair. Paul never mentions husband and wife in his writing on a woman's covering, he only speaks of "man" and "woman". The nature of a "man" often is selfish and yet "woman" was made from man. If a "woman" who has, like a "man" submitted herself to God by faith, has a visible sign of her faith to "man",would not the "man" whom she comes from feel more accountable to provide his covering of Jesus Christ as a blessing and safety to the "woman"?

Then also, if a covering for a "woman" of faith conviction can be reasonably removed or added (separated from all other parts of being covered for modesty sake, thinking of both "man" and "woman") so when prayer is being considered or prayer service, her place in order is prepared by her own knowledge of preparation of a covering. This conviction then also causes the "man" to take notice of his current relationship with his head, Christ Jesus. Then another consideration is the world looking on. Perhaps a visible sign as a covering protects the "woman" when a Spirit led "man" is not present. When a Christian "woman" is with children, there also is covering of safety that stands out as peculiar amongst the unconverted and even as an an example to the children with the "woman".

Hi Lynda. We are in the new covenant. You have to remember, at that time Adam and Eve were perfect. So they probably were not in need of any protein. Today even those who say that don't eat meat have to get their protein somehow or they will end up in the hospital and even die. You cannot mix old wine in new wineskins, but new wine must be placed in new wineskin. Jesus said, It's not what enters the mouth that defiles the body, but what comes out.

Babs, this is because the original people to mass produce the bible were white. And yes, technically Jewish people are white. The difference is that Jews tend to have darker features/different culture and dress differently than your regular Caucasian. But we know that the scribes changed things in the bible. Many races are loudly missing from the bible. So don't focus on race. Yahweh loves us all.

Hi Rick , I honestly don't mean to be arguementative with you . Have you read the account of Saul and David's relationship ? I will give you one example , I could give you lots of others but this one will do I think : 1st Samuel Ch16 v14 . There are loads of others like this all over the Old Testament . I believe that God is Sovereign over all His creation . The only thing that opposes Him is us , sinfull flesh , when we give in to our own lusts and serve our flesh rather than serving Him . Jesus says that we must deny ourselves , sacrifice ourselves , fast if you like , stop serving our own fleshly desires , deny our lusts , don't do what our flesh craves us to do , don't serve our sinfull flesh serve God . This is what Jesus did , he denied his own desires completely , never married , no children , he denied his own desires all day every day . None of us do that . We serve ourselves . We serve our own desires , our own flesh . The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak . The serpent represents sinfull flesh , it's that which Moses lifted up in the desert and Christ compares himself to it , sinfull flesh crucified , though of course Christ never sinned so the wages of sin cannot be applied to him because he didn't earn them . We do . Every day . We choose . God already knows us and the choices we will make before we are even born .

The text about faith in Christ is not true to the Greek which is plain to read in the original language. reads, "By the faith of Christ. Nestle, 1904, Westcott and Hort 1881, Scrivener's 1894, Tischendorf, 8th Edition 1872, and many others are clear in translating this verse the same. It is inaccurate and misleading to use a translation that promotes the faith of a believer in place of the faith of Christ. This error is also found in the translation of Galatians 2:20 "And the life I now live by faith in Jesu Christ." This last phrase, by faith in Christ can only mean one thing, it means, I am living my life in Christ by my faith. By THE faith OF Jesu Christ, I now live the life of total surrender by the faith of Christ. Therefore, I do not march and grow toward victory, I now live in Christ in victory. I approach our Father through the faith of Christ. He is our Advocate and Mediator before the Father. Of Him alone did God say, "With Him, I am well pleased." We please the Father when we come to Him in the faith of Christ. Example, A father puts money in a bank for his son. The money is under the son's name. He does not have the money himself but he has access to it from anywhere in the world. In a similar way, the faith we need to save us is not within us. It is found at the right hand of God and we draw on it "in Jesus name." Acts 3:16: "And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all."

This faith Of Christ takes us to complete dependence on Him through His faith. He offers the secret of Christian victory over the flesh, the world and the devil, His own faith, for us.

Dear Sister Sasha,

After previously hearing that word flummoxed, I was really going to try to avoid this thread at all cost!

But, I really enjoyed your post so much, and I couldn't resist to say that some of us have cents, and others of us have common sense, and you have gobs of the later!

God Bless You!

Earl With all due respect that contradicts Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, also Ephesians 2:2 also 1 John 4:1-3 how many times is spirit mentioned. Spirit of truth and spirit of error cannot come from same source. That's my conclusion to this matter God bless.

Blessed are they that make the LORD their strength.

Covering the head , or hair is not anything that one has to do it is simply keeping Christ in your mind,.. an yes , it's just that simple

Peace

You are absolutely right,.. it has nothing to do with hair , or wearing a cover on your head , it means , keeping Christ in your mind !!! It's just that simple,..

peace

Brother Alex, I believe Satan is FLESH and God is SPIRIT and they are at war with each other.

Thank God SPIRIT HAS WON.

Thank you

Global warming is an excuse for Governments and secret societies to track & monitor people. Computers record everything. The wise thing to do is trust Jesus to save you from the End of Days.

2 PETER CHAPTER 3

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent HEAT, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be BURNED UP.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the FAY OF GOD, wherein the heavens being on FIRE shall be dissolved, and the elements shall MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (See BORN AGAIN in John 3)

15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

See also: Isaiah 51:6, Revelation 21:1

Timing of Jesus's Return is any time now.

God is going to restore the earth to like it was in the Garden of Eden. No scars, no pollution, no sin; no Satan, no demons; all extinct animals and creatures will be returned.

Be born again now. Don't procrastinate!

SATAN is used by God, for God's will.

1 Chronicles 21:1 And SATAN stood up against Israel and provoked David to number Israel.

2 Samuel 23:1 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he (the LORD) MOVED (through Satan) David to number Israel.

Philippians 2:13 For it is God that worketh in you (in his creation, including Satan) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

God is SOVEREIGN, nothing happens without GOD CAUSING IT TO HAPPEN.
