Hello,

I just want to expand on your question/answers.

1st perspective: usually this question is asked after a loved animal dies.

If you just lost an animal that you loved, GOD knows our pain, suffering & sorrows.

Isaiah 53:3, 1 Peter 5:7,

Interesting scriptures about animals

Numbers 22:28,30,

Isaiah 11:4,6,7,8

Genesis 9:5

Hope

1 Corinthians 2:9

Hopefully these scriptures are encouraging.

oooh Dear all. Genesis 1:24

"And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so."

We all know these dayes that all the animal was saved in Noas dayes.

The animals is innocent. I'll read that some day but cant remember where, sorry.

Why create, and then eradicate?

For us like food? Not every animal have gone too food. Like not all human have being saved in their life. There's is a separate conditions. In one way God have drown me too the Heaven. And ill live with God today. All thanks too Jesus who have going through the heavens for all.

Mark16:15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

I know animals well, and they laughs and cry's they evan mourns. And are happy and play. Have joy in they heart. And best of all we ppl shall have responsibility over them.

Ill think i will see all different butterflies there too. And hear all the bird chirps. And i belive i will see all living creature whom i speak the Jesus Name woo. Life in the Name of Jesus.

Let's start with the love of GOD

1 Corinthian 13, please read the whole chapter

John 3:16

Psalm 103:8

Psalm 145:8

Matthew 12:15

Those are just a few scriptures about GOD's love. If you study & read the Holy Bible you will find GOD's love all through it.

Here are a few scriptures about sin

John 8:34 & Jesus says about himself John 8:36

Hopefully those are helpful.

Hi Glenn, I believe that Isaiah 11:6-10 speaks of the Millenium Kingdom of Christ on Earth. This is when Satan is locked away for 1,000 years (Revelation chapter 20), and he can no longer "deceive the nations" during this time. There will still be sinners (the nations) around, but not within the walls of Jerusalem where Christ the King sits & reigns ( Revelation 20:1-6) and the saved from the nations shall reign with Him.

It maybe at this time, with sin's force curtailed that the animal kingdom will also lose its fierceness (result of sin's corruption of all things), & the once ferocious animals will now co-habit with the more docile ones. But in Heaven, there is no Scripture to support the presence of animals in God's midst, apart from the heavenly beasts & beings. One's wishful thinking cannot add to what is already revealed to us.

Hello, this scripture isn't talking about literal dogs, but evil doers. I personally don't believe pets or any physical belongings or keepsakes will be in heaven. People won't even be given in marriage. Matthew 22:30.

I believe heaven will be so ridiculously amazing you will be absolutely occupied and fullfilled with such an overflowing amount of love and happiness that the idea of dwelling and longing back to earthly things would seem silly- it might even be like Lot's wife who turned back and turned into the pillar of salt. Here God has given you this amazing thing with 100/100 ultimate love, family, peace, togetherness unlike you've ever imagined, but if you would consider turning your back on that and longing for the past, I think that could be like a slap in the face to God. I don't believe anyone will feel lacking in heaven or feel empty or longing for earthly things. That is my opinion. I believe people tend to say things not in the Bible in order to be soothing. But really all we need to know if hell is the worst thing you can ever imagine and heaven is the best thing you can ever imagine, so isn't the choice obvious? The right choice is to follow and trust Jesus and not carry out expectations and sense of entitlement. God bless....

Good evening my brothers and sisters,

It is 9:51Pm here in Texas and I have something in my heart and mind that I have to get off. I love you ! I don't know y'all I don't know what your lives are all about but I love you ! I never knew what real love was until studying more of Gods grace but also really opening up to him. There's that song by Keith green oh lord your beautiful ! More than half the time I keep crying when I sing it because God is beautiful. I may not know alot on how to speak or even other topics but I do know that he loves me and I know that I really do have brothers and sisters that love me and for that I thank you.

Isaiah chapter 11 ,.. God loves his animals,. They'll be there too !!!

I'm looking for the scripture that speaks of our new bodies where we worship God not as husbands and wives. We will no longer be married but that we will know each other as brothers and sisters ! We no longer love each other as man and wife physically!

Brother Ronald.

Part 2.

As I mentioned I don't believe Adam would have been driven out of the Garden to keep him from eating of the tree of life because that life would have abided in him. And there would have been no need of a sacrifice or penalty of sin.

Hebrews 10:14-22. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

HAVING THEREFORE, BRETHERN, BOLDNESS TO ENTER INTO THE HOLIEST BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS,

By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

And having an high priest over the house of God;

LET US DRAW NEAR WITH A TRUE HEARTH IN ASSURENCE OF FAITH, HAVING OUR HEARTS SPRINKLED FROM AN EVIL CONSCIENCE, and our bodies washed with pure water.

The spirit now dwells in us only by the blood of Christ cleansing of the temple. " 1 Corinthians 3:16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"

Therefore we have boldness to enter into Gods presence and so would have Adam "if" Gods spirit dwelled in him. He would have never been moved out of the Garden because of 1 John 3:9.

Here is the difference between the 2 Adams- 1 Corinthians 15:45-50.

Verse 45- And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a

( quickening spirit.) "Life giving spirit." Whether Adam sinned or not he could never give life.

Verse 46- Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. We also inherit that which is natural not because Adam sinned, " Because he was a living soul. So is our 1st birth.

GBU.

Romans Chapters 3, 4, and 5! Precious friends, God's Simple Will:

A) Believe The GRACE Gospel ( 1 Cor 15:3-4; Eph 2:8-9; Rom 3; Rom 4; Rom 5; I Cor 15:3,4)

B) LOVE neighbor, fulfil ALL The Law ( Gal 5:14; Rom 13:8-10)

C) Study, "Approved Unto God" ( 2 Tim 2:15; Rom 16:25; Eph 1:3-9 Grace/Mystery 'fellowship,' today!) Also: Link

Thank you so much for that. Sometimes I'll be honest my surroundings either in work or at home can be very frustrating at times but I am reminded of Psalms 25:4 .. I have to wait for him more and just go like the wind goes. Sometimes we don't understand the will of God but we have to trust in his plan so we can share with others the gospel. Sometimes I feel like maybe I'm not doing enough or even sometimes I feel like he's not there you know ? But I realize right after he's always there. When I feel down he's there. When I make my bed he's there. I just want more of his fullness. I love him and I just don't want to fail or not be brave

I don't believe there will be anything else taken from Earth to be in Heaven, other than those purchased by Christ's Blood. Animal spirits are not redeemable.

Hi Brother Ronald.

Part 1.

I would like to give my belief on whether a person can be saved if he does not hold the belief that Jesus is God.

I believe there is levels in areas in which the spirit grows a person. for example a person can be well versed and lack discernment, everyone is not gifted in all areas, But only God knows at this point. I believe the fruit in a believers life such as Love and humility ect. is going to be present in a believers life, and it will definitely be absent in a professing Christian. We've seen that often in debates.

Just because a "person" believe in the trinity that does not make him a Christian so to believe otherwise does not disqualify you, I don't believe Life given by the spirit is given by this doctrine. But I do hold this doctrine to be true and scriptural and though it is not required to "get' saved, once saved, in due time it will be revealed by the spirit.

I believe an important question is what means "are" we saved. A work "of God" through faith in Christ confirmed by the fruit in our life, or a work or belief system 'we' hold?

You don't hold to the trinity doctrine but atleast from my point of view you seem to be very fruitful so I would claim you as a brother. I elected to sit this one out but I do have a question.

You stated: " when the first Adam sinned "God could no longer dwell in man." Jesus, the last Adam, on the cross repaired what the first Adam did, God can again abode/dwell in man. In Jesus through the Holy Spirit God dwells in us, now God is with us. End quote.

I don't hold the view that God ever dwelled "IN" Man until Christ was resurrected. Are you saying God dwelled in the 1st Adam? 1 John 3:9. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. I dont believe Adam would have been driven out of the Garden to keep him from eating of the tree of life because that life would have abided in him.

Part 2 coming.

uhm what is the love of god?

oh and also what is sin?

Excellent points, brother ChrisE. Many fail because we approach the Word with preconceived notions & beliefs & then make the Word fit our beliefs. I'm often left in amazement & horror by what people can do with God's Word. But, in the end, all will be revealed as we may all have to humble ourselves before the Giver of Truth.

KJBO Admin, Again, Thanks So MUCH for your Excellent Work! This 'updated functionality' and list of 'abbrevs' should enhance all our Bible studies IMMENSELY. God Bless!!

J R. u are an apostle. Leading teaching is what we are suppose to do. I will tell a simple story, my favorite one being Jonah. The struggle he had holding on too the inside of that whale, wondering why He didn't listen to God in the first place. Thinking and rehearsing, while asking God for forgiveness and possibly another chance to do His will. God speaks to the whale , as we see him spit Jonah out on the shores of Nineveh! God will prepare you, in the most inconvenient circumstances. U will be the roll model even as Jonah, who came into the midst and showed himself like non other! The Holy spirit will do it all, wait on Him, He will give you the words. Like the hot coal that comes from the alter, he will touch your lips and you will speak His will. Go ye teaching all nations, in the name of the Father ,the Son, the Holy Spirit.

KJBO Admin, Much Thanks For the Update on your Improvements - I will have another 'short?' list shortly of more 'problems' that have happened to me...

Dear Chris,

We just updated the functionality and are hoping it works more accurately. Below are the current accepted abbreviations, and any common ones we're missing we can look into adding:

gen ex lev lv num deut dt josh judg ruth sam kgs chron ezr neh est jb ps psa prov eccles song isa jer lam ezek dan hos ob jon mic nah hab zeph hag zech mal mat mt matt mrk mk luk jn act rom cor gal eph phil col thess tim tit phm heb jas pet jud rev

A comment was just posted to the discussion page explaining how it works. We welcome any suggestions you have as well. God bless!

We just updated the Bible verse linking functionality so it's faster and more accurate. Thank you for your patience while we stay busy in the background trying to improve the Bible reading and discussing experience. Previously, the script made it so you couldn't accurately type numbers like 1,000 or 10,000, but now you can. Praise God!

As with any technology, there are limitations. Here are the rules of how it works.
_________

1. Book & Chapters

Just type a book and a chapter and it will automatically link. It won't link with just a book, or just a chapter, it must be both with a space in between, like this:

Genesis 1

_________

2. Verses

Just type any verse like you normally would and it will automatically hyperlink if your book, chapter, and verses are are correct, such as:

Genesis 1:1

_________

3. Ranges

Just type a hyphen and another verse to link to a verse range. It won't link to chapter ranges, only verse ranges.

Genesis 1:1-3
_________

4. Series

Just type a comma between each individual verse you want to list for a given chapter. Important note: it doesn't allow spaces between the commas and verses. You can list up to 10 verses in a series. For example:

Genesis 1:2,4,7,12,15
_________

Notes:

If the above rules are followed the Bible verse references will be hyperlinked. You may also use commonly used book abbreviations. You may list multiple Bible verse references in a row separated by a space, period, comma, semicolon and they should link properly. Ranges and series can't be combined, however. It's only one or the other per book and chapter reference. For example:

Gen 1:2,4,7,12,15. Gen. 1:2-5. Gen 2:2,4,11. Jn 3:16; Mk 10

If you have any improvement suggestions for this or anything else, we welcome your help.

May God bless you through your Bible reading and Bible discussions!

I was always under the impression if you committed suicide, you went to hell. Can someone help me with this, quoting scripture? No, I'm not suicidal, and yes, I'm saved by the blood of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank you in advance.

Testing "functionality" Question: I wonder IF the three letter designations for the Bible Books can be posted in FAQ for "help!" in our studies { helps us 'wordy' posters pasters pastors? somewhat when 'characters' get close to "ZERO" :) }? ie:

Since Deu 1:1 did not work? Deuteronomy 1:1 Det 1:1 Dut 1:1 Dtr 1:1 ?

Phi 1:1 does not, so: Philippians 1:1; Phl 1:1; Php 1:1? Phn 1:1 ?

also Philemon 1:1 Phi 1:1 Phm 1:1 Phn 1:1 ?

Full list?:

Gen 1:1 Exo 1:1 Lev 1:1 Num 1:1 Dtr 1:1? Jos 1:1 Jud 1:1 Rut 1:1 Ruth 1:1 1 Sa 1:1 2 Sa 1:1 1 Ki 1:1 2 Ki 1:1 1 Ch 1:1 2 Ch 1:1 Ezr 1:1 Ezra 1:1 Neh 1:1 Est 1:1 Esther 1:1

Job 1:1 Psa 1:1 Pro 1:1 Prv 1:1 Pvb 1:1 Ecc 1:1 SoS 1:1 Son 1:1 Isa 1:1 Jer 1:1 Lam 1:1 Eze 1:1 Dan 1:1 Hos 1:1 Joe 1:1 Amo 1:1 Oba 1:1 Jon 1:1 Mic 1:1 Nah 1:1 Hab 1:1 Zep 1:1 Hag 1:1 Zec 1:1 Mal 1:1

Mat 1:1 Mar 1:1 Luk 1:1 Joh 1:1 Act 1:1 Rom 1:1 1 Co 1:1 2 Co 1:1 Gal 1:1 Eph 1:1 Php 1:1? Col 1:1 1 Th 1:1 2 Th 1:1 1 Ti 1:1 2 Ti 1:1 Tit 1:1 Phm 1:1? Heb 1:1 Jam 1:1 1 Pe 1:1 2 Pe 1:1 1 Jo 1:1 2 Jo 1:1 3 Jo 1:1 Jud 1:1 Rev 1:1

Ok, done testing -

you may now resume back to Normal :) Hope this helps other? short-cut takers? besides me... :)

God Bless...

Hi Jenny.

To not make it complicated, If you are worried about blaspheming the Holyspirit it is likely you HAVE NOT DONE IT.

What ever you have done to make you feel that way repent and ask God for forgiveness and he will forgive you.

1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I hope that helps.

God bless.

Shalom and Multiple Divine Blessings!!

After I was saved out of the occult, I cried for an entire year. It is the Holy Spirit within you, washing away the memories and residue of the past.

Read this first stanza:

What can WASH AWAY my sin

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can make me whole again

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh, precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow

Oh, no other fount I know

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

For my cleansing, this I see

For my pardon this my plea

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh, precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow

Oh, no other fount I know

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can my sin erase

This is all my hope and peace

This is all my righteousness

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

[The Holy Spirit leads me to sing songs at times. One time it was "I Walk The Line" by Johnny Cash. I protested because I thought it was secular!

He says Johnny is one of my children.

So I sang the song He was singing.

It totally described what I had been feeling earlier. Then I cry boatloads.]

How I love the Holy Spirit! So gentle and He knows exactly what I need to clear my troubled heart. Wherever He is, there is an altar to leave our tears at.

And say like I do: Because You're Mine, I walk the Line. Encourage Yourself, like King David did.

Praise and Worship is our source of strength and joy in the Lord.

Mishael

Amen Brother Mishael,

Amen. No monks here:) The WORD is amazing! Producing good works/good fruit! I agree our ACTIONS ARE NEEDED to produce the fruit!

Revelation 2:23

"And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works."

Matthew 6:20-21

20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

God Bless.

Hi Ronald,

I just noticed your reply- thank you for your time. I will do my best to stand up for Jesus in my reply and with limited space will try to be direct. It looked like you went through and interpreted some of the 10 verse examples in your own way. It concludes with an unrelated question that resembles a red herring. You said that believing these 10 verses I shared is a 'creed' and a 'trinity doctrine'. No, it's just believing in God's Word. I believe you are the one believing a creed and an anti-trinity doctrine. I don't have any motive or emotional bias one way or the other, I just believe God's Word. It's a fact that Jesus was called God in the Bible and so I believe it, that's all there is to it. That doesn't threaten or upset me as it somehow seems to for others, so I believe you have a bias or an anti-trinity emotional position. I don't think it's a doctrinal argument, because it already says what it does in the Bible and doesn't need any external creative interpretation. For instance, I just listed the verses and called out a few key words like the "Word was God" but you wrote quite a bit in order to shift and justify your interpretation from a literal one to a creative one.

It seems you were once told that catholics came up with the trinity? That's untrue. It's in the Bible, so that's where it came from. Whomever made that claim may have been motivated to associate the Bible verse interpretation with a 'bad guy' in order to fortify such a anti-God-trinity position. As an example, if I said that Hitler also was a denier of Jesus' divinity and if I used that as an argument against others, I believe it would be a dirty emotional tactic. Even if it's true, it's irrelevant what someone else believes. It only matters what God says and God said in John 1:1 that the Word is God and in verse 18 it says Jesus was the Word. Therefore Jesus is God. This doesn't threaten me and I fully embrace and accept God's Word as truth. Since it says it clearly in the Bible that Jesus is God, I believe Jesus is God. Why are some uncomfortable with this truth?

In the great day of judgement, who is the judge, and in what manner will you be judged?

Here's a hint:

Revelation 22:12-14

12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Don't believe Jesus will judge you as he states above?

Then believe what Jesus states here in scripture:

Matthew 7:14

14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

FEW WILL FIND IT!!!!!!!!

Stay focused on the true WORD!

Matthew 7:15

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Man can, and will deceive. If a man's words don't agree with Jesus Christs words/scripture then it is False, discard it!

Stay focused on the WORD.

Luke 11:28

"But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."

The WORD!

God Bless.

Thank you so much. You know I never thought I'd be going through a lot especially like this in losing a lot. What I mean by this is that finances are getting so rough I had to take on another job but God put me here. I work at McDonald's a 36 year old but I love it. For the few hours I'm here after my first job I get to speak to the public, Co workers, and many more leaving little seeds out there. That's why he sent me here. I know there's going to be a lot of difficulty in my Christian life. I wish I had more funds to give to the poor and feed them, I wish I could do so much more but I think the most important thing is just let him guide me as to what I need to do for him. He's the leader I'm just the follower. Andrew Murray said it best if you want to be his you have to make him your master and know he is ! God bless y'all. I'll check in at a later time.

If you knew me, you'd know that I don't spend time being a casual christian.

I evangelize elderly shut-in people.

JAMES 1

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

27 PURE RELIGION and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Most old folks are afraid to go out like they used to. If we watch a Christian movie, share a snack and conversation afterwards; that's between us and God. It keeps this little community alive with friendship and God-consciousness.

God doesn't need monks. He needs people who will be His Body to bless others.
