    The law, the terms and conditions concerning the sanctification and forgiveness of sin , were spelled out specifically according to the law of Moses. Looking at history and the failures of society, have been given too us through the old testament. Sin is a condition that man from creation has separated us from our Father. The law could never make us perfect. There would always be a remembrance of those things.

    Things being the sins, that easily separate us from His perfect righteousness and His WILL for His creation!

    Now we live under grace. The grace found through the continuing forgiveness of sin through faith in the blood of Jesus. This new covenant, given to you and me freely, securing a new way between God and man! So, then the law is only a schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, old things are pasted away, all things are become new! The sins from the past can only be covered and forgiven through the blood of Christ. When we understand these things, then we can say without hesitation, from a new forgiven condition, what Jesus has shown us is the way the truth and the life. These things should drive us immediately to our knees as we cry and say thank you for such great love! Thank you Jesus for such great love!

    An afternoon meditation. It is a sad situation when a born again man or woman takes a sword that was now re-formed into a cultivating tool for peaceful agrarian purposes and uses the new tool as a weapon of offense.

    This is exactly what I was seeking. Thank you so much. All the answers are in the Bible if we can just connect them to our life.

    Brother Joel, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Hebrews 1:2 Hath in the last days spoken to us by his (the Father's) Son (Christ), whom he (the Father) appointed HEIR (Christ inherited EVERY THING AND EVERYBODY) of all things, by whom (by Christ) also HE (the Father) made the worlds (all creation, including man);

    Let us (the Father and the Son) make (create) man in our (the Fathers and the Sons) image.

    If your still in your FLESH, then you haven't YET become the IMAGE of the Father and the Son.

    Ephesians 4:4 For there is ONE BODY (in Christ), and one Spirit (Life and Truth).

    This is GIVEN to you when you no longer SUFFER IN THE FLESH.

    1 Corinthians 15:54 .....DEATH is swallowed up in VICTORY (the works of Christ).

    Hello Thas,

    Deuteronomy 29:29

    secret things belong to God.

    so no Jesus was not a liar

    what he reveals, he reveals. like the signs leading up to

    the end according to Matthew 24 (verse 36)

    I sure hope so , I'm sure that somewhere in the Bible it says that the generation that sees Israel back in the land is the last generation , that happened in 1948 , then there was the six day war of 1967 , the year I was born . If I can find the reference I will post it on here .

    Hello Tracy,

    Jehovah is a invisible spirit ( John 4:24) and doesn't need to dwell in physical creation.

    the point is, if we can see it literally this is not were God resides.

    So what is heaven? the Hebrew word means High or lofty.

    he is way superior in power. but we do have a fine example of

    his Almighty power by means of what he created like the sun for example. If a rocket can't land on the sun; this proves the power of God's invisible spirit. he can accomplish wonderful things in a instant, quicker then a blink. Romans 1:20; Genesis 1:1,2

    God shares his invisible presence with angels.- Hebrews 1:7
  • GRACE_ambassador {ChrisE} - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Precious Glenda, yes, very good point, as taught By our GRACE apostle, Paul:

    "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest LIVE LONG on the earth." ( Ephesians 6:1-3) However, choosing 'our own' way:

    "Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. FOR THIS CAUSE many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep {HAVE DIED!}." ( 1 Co 11:27-30)

    Thus, it is a Biblical Fact, and we all really 'should' Heed WHAT GOD SAYS:

    "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, THAT shall he also reap" Galatians 6:7)

    And, then, of course, there is Also "reward OR LOSS thereof" at our Judgment ( 1 Co 3:6-15 cp 1 Co 5:1-5)

    Hope this helps...

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

    Hello Onyi,

    If the verse doesn't say we don't know.

    however, what we do know is in Exodus 6 Moses

    told Jehovah God ( psalm 83:18) that he was circumcised in lips.

    Moses felt that his speech was cut off. you can think of someone with a stuttering

    defect. sometimes in old age people voice is choppy or weak. especially some more then others at the age of 100 years old or more.

    What the bible does tells us is that Moses was 120 years

    old when he died. Deuteronomy 31:2,14; Joshua 1:2
  • Michelle on 1 John 4 - 4 years ago
    Humans are superficial. We cannot love what we have not sensed, without the aid of the Holy Spirit. This is not to say the love starts with sight, or that you should love people before you love God. But if you love God, then loving fellow Christians will come naturally.
  • Alex N - 4 years ago
    Yes Jesus is all knowing, he even tells us the bridegroom will come at Midnite, Behold at Midnite there was a cry made behold the bridegoom cometh ,Its only the Bride the CHURCH ( The Sons of God, now are we the sons of God In Hebrews ) But he knows everything . The disciples says we believe that thou knowest ALL things . In John 16 v 31 Simply b/c he is in the Father and the Father is in him .My Father and i are 1 etc. He even gives them detail of the 2 nd coming being as 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins . Its just the CHURCH the Israel of God , Sons of God. that don't know. He says you know not what hour your lord does come, But that don't mean their lord didnt know. He knew that the bridegoom wd come at Midnite . If the Father knows all things then the Son in the bosom of the FATHER will know all things . There was a wedding in Canna of Galilee on the 3 rd day and Jesus and his disciples were there with his Mother which is just a metaphor for his own wedding on the 3 rd day. He knows the very day . and he knows the hour, At midnite there was a cry made the Bridegoom Cometh . And thats when he made the best wine . The new covenant ,that New Wine .Thats when the spirit and the flesh are gonna be made 1. Remember he made his spit,his word and the ground US 1 NOSOTROS UNO ONE, But plz don't tells ppl that Jesus does not know smh. Lemme go rake some leaves.

    May the Lord shine His face mightily on all who calls for His great hand of Comfort and Joy. It is not easy to rejoice in the trials before us, but God promises to give us a "way to escape, that we may be able to bear it." Hallelujah!

    In this time of our government's inability to give stability and trust to our people, let us continue to call on the Lord and follow hard on His wisdom and guidance to come through this pandemic and economic disaster. 2 Chronicles 7: 14, 15

    I pray for our President Joe Biden and all his advisors to come to salvation in Christ Name, and there by be able to govern wisely and righteously. I pray for the churches of the saints to continue to preach the gospel and take the battle to the front and "...and some have compassion, making a difference...pulling them out of the fire..."

    Sister Glenda, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom AND HIS understanding.

    God is SOVEREIGN. That implies that NOTHING is done apart from HIM DOING IT; his WILL being done (good and bad). Since GOD'S WILL is always being done (even though man DOES NOT BELIEVE IT), man DOES NOT HAVE FREE WILL (man does't believe that he DOES NOT HAVE FREE WILL).

    These scriptures below say man does not have free will; but that God is sovereign and does HIS WILL:

    Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (his SPIRIT) which WORKETH IN YOU both TO WILL (he CAUSES his will to be your will) and TO DO (good or bad) his good pleasure.

    Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter POWER over the CLAY (his creation) of the same lump to make one vessel (man) to HONOUR, and another (man) to DISHONOUR.

    Ephesians 1:11 In whom (in CHRIST) we also have obtained an INHERITANCE (from the Father, to become a SON OF GOD, like our brother Jesus Christ), being PREDESTINATED according to THE PURPOSE of him (the Father) who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the counsel of HIS WILL.

    Ezekiel 36:27 And I WILL put my Spirit WITHIN YOU, and CAUSE YOU to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgements, and DO THEM.

    God has a PLAN for ALL mankind. We can not fully understand why God does things the way he does; but he has PROMISED that HIS PLAN will end in PERFECTION.

    When the Spirit causes you to BELIEVE the above verses you will REST in the SECURITY of his will, instead of the UNSECURITY of you SUPPOSED free will.
  • GRACE_ambassador {ChrisE} - In Reply on Acts 4 - 4 years ago
    Precious Yunda, Please Be Encouraged/Edified in This Important "study" of three baptisms:

    God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, 'Shows water' is NOT Under God's GRACE, Today:

    (1) Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL: The Twelve Were Sent to water baptize!

    The TWO Main, of 12 baptisms =

    A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!" {separate "study" IF you wish...} ( Matthew 3:5-6) ( Mark 1:4) ( Luke 3:3) ( John 1:31) ( Luke 7:29-30) ( Acts 10:37) ( Matthew 28:19) ( Mark 16:16) ( Acts 2:38) ( Acts 22:16) ( Ezekiel 36:25) ( John 18:35) ( Exodus 19:6) +

    B) WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders! ( Isaiah 44:3) ( Matthew 3:11) ( Mark 1:8) ( Mark 16:17-18) ( Luke 24:49) ( Acts 2:17-18) ( Acts 2:38) ( Acts 8:15-17) ( Acts 11:16)

    Prophecy/Law

    Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15) From Things That Differ!:

    (2) Mystery/GRACE! = our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:

    Paul Was Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?:

    Today: 'Only ONE' Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION, Spiritually Identifying members In (The ONE Body Of) CHRIST!! ( Ephesians 4:5) ( Colossians 2:12) ( Galatians 3:27) ( Romans 6:3-4) ( 1 Corinthians 12:13) --------------------------------------------------

    Thus, This ONE Baptism Is Performed, By God, Today, Under God's GRACE/MYSTERY Program, when the believer "confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior and believes that He died and rose again, and God saves them" in the twinkling of an eye.

    Thus, "water baptism" Is Scriptural, But Dispensationally, "was for the Previous Law/Prophecy Program" of God, For ISRAEL!

    Conclusion, water baptism is Scriptural, but, TODAY, is UNdispensational! Amen?

    Precious friend, Yunda, Please be Richly Encouraged, enlightened, exhorted, and edified!"

  • 3 Plagues from China__Scriptures - 4 years ago
    Revelation 16:12

    The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the EAST.

    [comment: formerly called the Silk Road; which has been rebuilt.

    Revelation 9:14-18

    The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the COLOR of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur (national colors of China) and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. By these THREE PLAGUES, A THIRD OF MANKIND IS KILLED by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.

    Isaiah 49:12

    Behold, these shall come from AFAR, and behold, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of SYENE.

    China gave us Swine FLU. SARS virus, Corona virus. (Google "Past Pandemic LIST"; has World death totals.

    Not only COVID is a respiratory illness: emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, influenza & more. We seek help for that, don't we?

    Jesus told us in Matthew 24, that "pestilence, plagues (pandemics) would be a SIGN. There is no condemnation for help, if you can't breathe. We live in a increasingly contaminated world. That's why there will be an end to all things. 2 Peter 3

    Practice common sense, cleanliness; and be wise as a serpent; mild as a dove. Obey those who have rule over you. God will honor our faithfulness to His Word.

    There wouldn't be mentions of China in Scripture if it wasn't TRUE. Jesus is at the door. Keep your faith in Him, strong.

    Have we not been vaccinated for flu and pneumonia? THE MARK OF THE BEAST is in the HAND OR FOREHEAD. Says nothing about arms.

    In history there have been other Corona virus outbreaks. Read that list in google.

    I was vaccinated after I saw the past outbreaks.

    It's in Romans 7. Known as the "I" chapter. In Romans 8, victory over his dilemma.

    15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

    16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

    17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

    18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

    19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

    20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
  • Website Commentary on your Question - In Reply on Jeremiah 9 - 4 years ago
    The people are corrected, Jerusalem is destroyed. (1-11) The captives suffer in a foreign land. (12-22) God's loving-kindness, He threatens the enemies of his people. (23-26)1-11 Jeremiah wept much, yet wished he could weep more, that he might rouse the people to a due sense of the hand of God. But even the desert, without communion with God, through Christ Jesus, and the influences of the Holy Spirit, must be a place for temptation and evil; while, with these blessings, we may live in holiness in crowded cities. The people accustomed their tongues to lies. So false were they, that a brother could not be trusted. In trading and bargaining they said any thing for their own advantage, though they knew it to be false. But God marked their sin. Where no knowledge of God is, what good can be expected? He has many ways of turning a fruitful land into barrenness for the wickedness of those that dwell therein.

    23-26 In this world of sin and sorrow, ending soon in death and judgement, how foolish for men to glory in their knowledge, health, strength, riches, or in any thing which leaves them under the dominion of sin and the wrath of God! and of which an account must hereafter be rendered; it will but increase their misery. Those are the true Israel who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Let us prize the distinction which comes from God, and will last for ever. Let us seek it diligently.

  • Chris - In Reply on Exodus 14 - 4 years ago
    According to Exodus 7:7, Moses was 80 years of age at this time. Therefore, assuming that the ensuing plagues upon Egypt followed each other in quick succession & they left Rameses soon after, then their journey into the wilderness saw them go first to Succoth, then to Etham & onto Baal Zephon ( Exodus 14:1). So, I would say that Moses was a little over 80 years of age by a few months. It's interesting that Pharaoh only now chose to pursue them, believing them to be trapped at the Red Sea. Maybe, the death & destruction in Egypt under God's Hand took them quite a while to recover & gather themselves together to go after the children of Israel, as we read that once again God "hardened Pharoah's heart" ( Exodus 14:8), which made him foolishly pursue God's chosen.
