In 2 Samuel 24 1 who is telling David to take count of the Israelites?

And in 2 Chronicles 21 1 Who is giving David to take count of the Israelites?

That story was in JerusalemPost today. They are running a bunch of new tests on it. There's much more info.

Lots of concern too because people are using ivermectin meant for animals; and it's too strong for a human.

The concept of "blasphemy against the Spirit" is mentioned in Mark 3:22-30 and Matthew 12:22-32. Jesus has just performed a miracle. A demon-possessed man was brought to Jesus, and the Lord cast the demon out, healing the man of blindness and muteness. The eyewitnesses to this exorcism began to wonder if Jesus was indeed the Messiah they had been waiting for. A group of Pharisees, hearing the talk of the Messiah, quickly quashed any budding faith in the crowd: "It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons," they said ( Matthew 12:24).

Jesus rebuts the Pharisees with some logical arguments for why He is not casting out demons in the power of Satan ( Matthew 12:25-29). Then He speaks of the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit: "I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come" (verses 31-32).

The unpardonable/unforgivable sin or "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" is mentioned in Mark 3:22-30 and Matthew 12:22-32. Jesus said, Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter ( Mark 3:28), BUT then He gives one exception: "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin" (verse 29).

My comment: satan has never done anything good in his existence.

Frequently people may go up front of the church to be prayed for: for healing, favor finding work, a sick relative at the hospital, etc.

And then the prayer is answered according to THEIR FAITH IN GOD.

Some people will say, "ITS JUST A COINCIDENCE, the medication kicked in finally, or some other remark.

That's actually calling something that the Holy Spirit did, NOT a miracle.

The Pharisees accused Jesus of this.

Grant us, Lord God, a vision of your world as your love would have it: a world where the weak are protected, and none go hungry or poor; a world where the riches of creation are shared, and everyone can enjoy them; a world where different races and cultures live in harmony and mutual respect; a world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love. Give us the inspiration and courage to build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Revelation 7:1

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

Philippians 2:10

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Isaiah 37:16

O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.

Genesis 2:4

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

Psalms 19:1. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

John 1:3 - All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Romans 1:20 - For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Ecclesiastes 3:11 - He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. Genesis 2:1

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

Comment by Mishael: I pray for angels to guard the 4 corners of my home. I have never had any demonic manifestations for 36 years. God gave us DOMINION; and Jesus gives us HIS AUTHORITY to to stop satanic activity immediately.

I think Space dot com slash NASA has the best photos.

I was looking at the moon and Saturn one night ( it was awesome)

Clearly, the moon is round. The sun is round.

If you go to HUBBLE dot com, the other planets are round too. Awesome photos by satellites!

I'm convinced. :D

LET US PRAY THIS OVER OUR NATION:

Daniel 2:20-21

Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. (ESV)

Our Nations High Schools REMOVED: Courses on Civics, Social Studies, Step-By-Step how AMERICAN HISTORY CAME TO BE PRESENTLY.

You can't rewrite History by destroying statues, flags, museums and relics of our Nations past.

We have to FOLLOW JESUS to be set free from the past, spiritually. We can't carry a Bible in one hand; and carry hatred and resentment in our hearts. Jesus's throne is our hearts.

Jesus was crucified and shed His holy blood so we all can be freed in our minds and our hearts. We must not trample on His sacrifice.

Hard as it is in these last days of all mankind, all across this world__

Let us all repent of busyness, complacency and intolerance__and lock arms as we wait for the appearing of Jesus in the Clouds.

He will defeat all His Enemies. And someday give us back this world the way it existed before mankind destroyed its beauty. 2 Peter 3

There will be no remembrance of the past: hurt, pain, shame, losses, sickness or disease. We'll be reunited with loved ones who died too soon. God will wipe away every tear we cried.

Hold on tight to Gods unchanging love and commitment as we navigate through this short time, of seeing the world of evil implode upon itself. Like Daniel in the fiery furnace, we will come through this without even the smell of smoke on our clothes.

Some happy future day we will return here to live in Eden, which will cover the earth. Evil will never reign in the earth again. We will work with the angels to build things (I think). Break bread with Jesus ever day, like a real family.

Have hope in this time of witnessing the beginning of the tribulation. Be patient and keep eyes on Jesus. Receive His Salvation.

The understanding of God & His Son Jesus meant much more than Jesus appearing at birth as the Son of God - it meant that Jesus proceeded out from God ( John 16:27,28).

You would not be denying the Son of God by referring to Jesus as God (always within the Deity from whence He came at the first). Jesus, as God's Word, was always within the Godhead. The fact that He became human can't deny Him His Divinity (or else, He wouldn't be worshipped in Heaven: Revelation 5:1-14; & holding the descriptions of God: Revelation 1:8,11,17,18). If He weren't part of the Godhead, how could He receive worship from the heavenly hosts?

"Can a person receive salvation and be a Christian without believing in the trinity?" you ask. I believe he can be. One doesn't have to know & understand all doctrines or have read the Bible through, to attain salvation, except to come in contrition, an earnest yearning for salvation, & that through faith in the Cross. But after knowing the Word, & rejection of the Deity of Christ, I have no opinion on what is God's matter alone.

Two questions from me, which I have asked several times before on KJBO, without answer:

1. Why did God have to send His only begotten to die for us - couldn't a special Heaven-prepared lamb not do the job? Leaving aside the prophecy speaking of a Man coming in David's lineage, since prophecy is only God's Word sent out after God's Determination first.

2. If John 1:1-14 speaks of God's Word being with Him & of Him, & that Word was given a human body & dwelt among His people, what other meaning can be given to these words, other than a clear belief of Christ's Deity? Why do those who reject Jesus' pre-existence fail to give an exposition of these verses? Every blessing.

Brother Ronald. Thank you once again for your comments. I agree, whether Ignatius, Polycarp or any other succeeding them, even the Apostle Peter himself, can all be found in error in some doctrine or teaching ( Galatians 2:11-14). Though, my point was in their belief in the Deity of Christ.

To your references on the Trinity 'fallacy': Revelation 21:22. God is Spirit - the Spirit of God is within the Godhead - the Lamb (post resurrection) is in His glorified State, as the Incarnate Word of God made flesh & now in Glory. Jesus is no longer the Word of God within God's Being, but His Word made flesh, risen & reigning at the Father's right Hand.

1 John 2:22-24. You seem to be well studied brother. Then you would know that 1st John was written explicitly to confront the errors of Gnosticism (& other false teaching) that were running rampant in the Church. The discussion begins from verse 18, concerning the many 'anti-christs' in the Church, deceiving the believers by their lies & corruption of accepted apostolic teaching. The prevailing Docetic (an off-shoot of Gnosticsm) heresy was that "the incarnation was incredible because Deity cannot unite itself with anything material, as a body of flesh".

Then in the reference you gave, the question from John is, "who is a liar?" The liar is that one who has come to you denying the incarnation, saying 'it's impossible for a Holy God, Who is Spirit, to unite with sinful flesh by having a Son: "but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son". This would have reference not only to the Jews that deny Jesus as their Messiah, but certainly to those who went by the name of 'Christian'; they who denied either His proper Deity, or real Humanity, as Ebion and Cerinthus, who were denying Him to be the God-man, the Mediator, & the Messiah. (cont'd).

Yes, Ivermectin saves lives and is even better than HCQ. That's common knowledge for a subset of society, but for others who consume only filtered news propaganda, they probably will just assume it can't be true. Yes, unlike the experimental injections they push on people currently that has probably killed more than a million worldwide and injured probably many millions, Ivermectin and HCQ have both been tested and used by countless millions over a 40-60 year period. Ivermectin won the nobel peace prize as a breakthrough medicine.

So, this is the real cure for covid aside from eating right and exercising to strengthen your immune system, vitamin D, zinc, yet the evil people on the left are pushing propaganda very hard against anything that doesn't match their religious narrative. Let's face it, it's an anti-Christian, anti-God, pro-authoritarian control, government-is-god-type of religion. And when they are wrong, like stubborn little 3 year olds, they don't admit it, even though it may kill millions. It's really sick and must be the delusion talked about in the Bible is the only way I can comprehend this level of stupidity and evil. Many people are very angry about the injustices here. They are trying to get my 80 year old relative who already had covid and has natural immunity to get this stupid fake vaccine containing aborted baby tissue. This is really dark evil stuff people are pushing on others.

They used to love the my body my choice argument, until it comes to this and now they feel entitled to say your body my choice. Many double standards and just pure evil happening while virtue signaling that they are doing 'good' but mass injecting others with a random potion that kills and injures people and harms their immune system so they get and spread disease even faster. One doctor predicted everyone who has taken the injection may be dead within 12 months. This is a serious global catastrophe and it is caused by greed and evil imposed on others. We can't believe any of the lies we hear in the media or what bribed politicians say- must do your own research. God bless.

I think I mistakenly reply to you. Sorry if you're not the one I meant to reply to.

Hello Mary. It can be understood that Ananias & Sapphira were indwelt by the Holy Spirit & was a part of the new Church in Jerusalem. However, they allowed Satan 'to fill their hearts & lie to the Holy Ghost', therefore paying the awful price for that deception. Discipline by the Lord was very direct in those days as the new Church was forming & developing under the guidance & teaching of the apostles. The Lord still disciplines the Church today as a whole & individuals, whenever we force our way against His Will or live lives that are dishonouring to Him; but I've not seen such a heavy discipline today as we see performed in the Bible & even if that happened, it may not be as swift & public as it was then.

Are you referring to 'vegetarian', Mary? If so, there's nothing wrong, both biblically & physically, to be a vegetarian. You need to ensure however, that you have the whole range of vegetables & fruit so as to not deny yourself certain vitamins & minerals.

English Sacha,

In an odd way, your atheist family members are there for you as you are there for them. Everyone holding on in their own special way. We are handed a series of uncomfortable circumstances to see how we can work them out. Even the rearview mirror has its doubts. I have to admit I was bowed down at the hearing of cancer, quite dismayed, yet relieved to know you came out on the other side ok, but for the memories. God is never but a thought away, there to strengthen you.

Amen

It is with great joy that I read of the success that the brethren testify of the grace of God in their lives on this forum. Hallelujah and praise the Lord. Even in the face of over whelming odds we praise His name and count it all joy. James 1:2.

Thank you Brother's and Sister's in Christ that we can share our needs and pray for each other in Christ name. May the Lord bless everyone and bring us all to a closer walk with our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Praying for our President, Congress, Judicial Branch and all in authority. 1 Timothy 2: 1-4

The Bible tells us that that wicked one ( The Antichrist shall not be revealed until He who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. There is a Restraining at work now and then shall he be revealed. That restrainer is The Church and God. When God Raptures the Church, The Holy Ghost will be here. Jesus said , He promised He would never leave us. But the Praying Church will be gone and the Spirit will not move as in times past. We can already see that now. Imagine those Dark Days.God has a Trinity , Father ,Son and The Holy Ghost.

Satan will also, Antichrist, False Prophet and the Beast. The False Prophet will be the Driving Force behind Men taking the Mark of the Beast.

None of this can happen until Jesus meets the Dead who rise first and the Living Saints in the Air. He said in Revelations,, I will spare you from Great Tribulation which shall come upon the whole world.

If you know who Antichrist is or his system, then you have missed the Rapture. Because until then it is all Pure Speculation on He is or isn't.This much I know, I don't want to be here to know.

Mikey Out. Oooohhhh Yeah!!!!

Job 2:9

Job 19:17

Job 19:19

Job 42:14

There are only hints, I find. It appears she left/ abandoned him. Yet there is this one scripture:

Job 42:11

Hopefully this is helpful while you are searching for answers.

You need to read the Book of Daniel First. And then have 2 Bibles or sources to reference. In my Studies, and I am certainly not a Scholar. But the Book of Revelations needs to be taken as Literal as Possible. I understand there are symbols and meanings. I got saved in 1996 under My Father in Law's Ministry. He always said this Bible Is so simple a child can understand it. There are no doubt many mysteries in this Book which Man can only guess at. The amazing thing is you could buy 10 commentaries and not one of them would agree much with the other. That's why when Men who think they are so much more educated than me speak. I remember the Foolish confound the wise, and God speaks to me also. Having said all that, line upon Line , Precept upon Precept. You cannot begin to understand or have knowledge of just one Book. You have to Get in the Bible, front to back. And as you read , going forward and backward in Scripture. But God will give you the desires of your Heart . If you lack or desire Wisdom,,, ask God he giveth Liberally. And too often , ,,We have not because we ask not.

Mikey Out. Oooohhhh Yeah!!!!!!!

Wow! Thanks for your perspective on this.

J Hudson Taylor the missionary of many years ago said , " it's not Great faith in God , it's faith in a Great God .

I think he is correct too !

What does Psalms 44:22 mean? Are we being punished, as were our forefathers in the days of old?

I believe you're talking about, Acts 4:31

I think of scriptures relative: 1 Samuel 10:6 , 1 Samuel 16:14 , To get to know more about Saul's beginning & calling from the LORD please read 1 Samuel 9-10 , (chapters 9 & 10)

Hopefully this helps

Good Evening,

As I am learning with my conversations with him everyday I keep thinking of him and singing to him but I have a recurring dream and it keeps going. I believe that he's working in me a fire that's deep in my heart that even the forces of Hell will not overcome but that doesn't mean I'm immune that's why he gave us the sword of the spirit. I do believe that my wife was given to me based on his will for my life and it's my duty to honor him and if I do that I honor my wife as well. I think of him 24:7 some people look at me and ask who I'm talking to lol I say God ! Boldly. I will keep y'all updated as I am still kinda new here but I believe I have brothers and sisters like y'all that love me and encourage me to be a strong Christian soldier. I can't speak to random people never have I but he's done something in me that I have to say something anything. I just continue to ask for prayers but that he give me boldness to speak and to be brave

Is there a reference in the bible that pertains to whether the earth is flat or round?

What does it mean to blaspheme the Holy Spirit?

This story is on CBN news. Search: Ivermectin Story. I know someone who got covid and took this medication and got well sooner.

[part of the story]

"Schwartz's clinical study found that by day four, 86% of his patients who took ivermectin recovered. By day six, 94% recovered.

"The bottom line is that Ivermectin decreased faster the viral load, and also sterilized the culture much better compared to the placebo," he said.

Schwartz explained to CBN News this means Ivermectin killed the virus and his patients were non-infectious. Schwartz says this could save lives and reduce quarantines by days.

"It's a huge change in life. It's a huge change for the patient. It's a huge change for his family. And from the economical point of view, it's a dramatic change. You know, it's how much money you can save for the economy of the country, if you can shorten the isolation time," he said.

But ivermectin is not accepted by the global health establishment. A major FDA concern is that a number of people have tried to self-medicate using a form of the drug intended for livestock."

Don't do that. Mishael

You are blessed. It takes very great faith to leave the results in Gods capable hands.

Your prayers are powerful.

Hebrews 11:13

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, BUT HAVING SEEN THEM FROM AFAR, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Ephesians 6:13

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and HAVING DONE ALL, TO STAND.

This is what we do for our unsaved loved ones. We pray and keep them lifted up, before Gods throne. We ask that laborers in the Harvest, to be sent to them, in their every day lives. We WAR against Satan from blinding and stopping up their ears to hear.

Then just open your arms to freely love this person and bless with kindness.
