  • Margery F Wilson on Matthew 27 - 4 years ago
    Is there any place in the Bible that during the crucifiction Jesus said to one of the thieves being crucified next to Jesus that Jesus said to him "because you believe you will be with me today in Heaven".

    No one knows the mark of the beast until he is revealed , at that time there will be no doubt , he is worshipped by the deceived or not by the faithful . Another way of saying it is the mark comes after the Beast who is a man .

    Ecclesiasticus 38:15-34

    What exactly is going on here? Verses 1-14 seem to make perfect sense while speaking of uplifting and praying for your physician, then bam we are burying the dead etc. Please explain

    Sorry, I guess in editing; my scripture references were shorten; in Malachi please continue to read "that there may be food in MY house " I was trying to point out through scripture & letting the HOLY SPIRIT lead you through all truth.

    There appears to be more than 1 reason for the sacrifice & offering. Please read the entire point of the scripture references within context to help better answer your question. Most of the scripture references had additional scriptures following.

    Sister Christi, may CHRIST in us grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    You can NEVER do anything for God; YOU BECOME ONE WITH HIM, he is everything; SPIRIT, LIFE and TRUTH, he needs nothing or no one.

    Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

    He came To GIVE and TO DO everything; SPIRIT, LIFE and TRUTH, for us.

    He doesn't do this because of who we are; he does it because of who HE IS, our FAITHFUL Father.

    He is CREATING sons and daughters in HIS IMAGE; Spirit, Life and Truth.

    Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy SPIRIT, they are created, thou renewest the face of the earth.

    1 Peter 1:23 ....You are BORN AGAIN (created) by the WORD(S) (SPIRIT, LIFE and TRUTH) of God ....

    Isaiah 63:9 In all their (creations) affliction he (Christ) was afflicted, and the angel (Christ) of his (the Father's) presence SAVED them (creation): in his (the Father's) love and in his (the Father's) pity he (the Father; through Christ, the angel of the Father's presence) SAVED them (creation); and he (the Father through Christ) bare them (creation), and CARRIED them (creation) all the days of old.

    BELIEVE

    Philippians 1:29 For unto US it is GIVEN in the behalf of Christ (Spirit, Truth and Life), not only to BELIEVE ON HIM (Spirit, Truth and Life), but also to suffer (in the flesh) for his (name) sake.

    1 Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another (no one, we are all alike)? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive (nothing, all is a gift (given) of God)? now if thou didst receive (be given) it, why dost thou glory, as if thou didst not receive (be given) it?

    There seems to have been a problem with editing errors. Each scripture reference I gave had additional scriptures. Please continue to read the referenced scriptures for the whole statement otherwise they will not fully answer the question. Jeremiah + God answered & said do not say you are just a child.

    Genesis = continue to read the miracle birth of Sahara & Abraham ect.

    Sorry, not sure how or why the scripture references were shortened or changed.
  • T.Levis - In Reply on Psalms 1 - 4 years ago
    It seemed to be edited wrong. Please see John 15:2 -12

    John 15:1 -12

    Ending with love one another.

    Genesis additional verses ending with "& GOD said it was good"

  • T. Levis - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Christi, hello. Raising 8 children is no small task!! I hope this scripture will help you.

    Jude 1:24 -25
  • Sheila Davis - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Thank you - I did read and as with the same teachings of the years past, I disagree with the pre-tribulation rapture. I didn't agree with it 30 years ago and it was taught in almost every church, and I still don't agree with it. The difference from then and now is more people of the church have changed their teachings & beliefs - many now believe the church will see the tribulation - and they too used the term God's Word rightly divided.

    God Bless
  • Christi smith - 4 years ago
    ive been away from God for quite awhile now. Oh i had small conversations, but certainly not as it should be. I feel so unworthy and like i have done nothing in my life for God, exept, he helped me raise 8 children, who only 1 has been faithful to God, as I can tell. I am 66 now and am not brave at all to talk about the Lord. I guess the fear of man brings a snare? one lady even told me she had suicidal thoughts, and Im so ashamed i didnt help her . now i have not seen her since that time. I am not at peace with God as they talk about the peace of God is beyond understanding. I have did the bes i can in repenting, but is it enough? i feel like nothing is enough! I feel lower than a worm. All i know to do his plea the blood for his mercy.
  • Chris - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Brother Dan. Firstly, apologies for my comment appearing in the wrong spot in this thread; I did post it under your name, so not sure what went wrong.

    Secondly, an example I can use in respect to what we're discussing is found in Matthew 19:16-22, in reference to the rich young man & his meticulous adherence to the Decalogue. I see this encounter between Jesus & this man as a transition from having 10 rules to follow to the letter, to a fuller understanding of the given Law, which is demanded by the Law-Giver.

    Jesus needed to show him that as commendable his obedience to the Law was, his carefulness still failed to meet the full requirements of the Law. His wealth got in the way of a true love & service to God, hence his inability to follow Jesus.

    So what was missing & a cure for this dilemma that would affect all Jews, even those who had this young man's zeal for obedience? I believe Jesus was introducing what would occur after His death & resurrection & the impartation of the Holy Spirit. The time would come when reference to the Decalogue would no longer be necessary or relevant; that the Cross separated the Law which brought condemnation & death & usher in the Law of the Spirit which took hold of all of God's demands as given earlier, with the fuller meaning & application that only the Spirit could impute in the believer.

    Therefore, I see no bearing of the Decalogue to the believer, rather obedience to the Spirit within us Who speaks to our hearts ALL that God demands from His blood-bought. If I referred to the Decalogue as a measure of my obedience, I might tend to find satisfaction from ticking off all the boxes & then to my dismay find another Law working in me bringing me into bondage & condemnation. Therefore, my subjection is wholly to the Spirit & not to the Law. God bless you brother.

  • WHAT HAPPENS TO GRASS AND TREES - In Reply on Psalms 1 - 4 years ago
    BOOK OF REVELATION

    Revelation 9:4 | View whole chapter

    And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

    Revelation 8:7 | View whole chapter

    The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

    2 PETER 3:10

    It's all going to burn up. There is no surviving and rebuilding. The earth will be no more. For a thousand years. It will be created new again, as it was in the Garden of Eden. No sin. No sickness. No death. Only joy.

    The Bible says MAKE A CHOICE. LIFE OR DEATH. NOW.

    If the CAUGHT UP (Rapture) takes place before your doubting eyes it will be too late to make that choice. Be at peace with your choice now.

    Find out for yourself what the Bible says. Every Walmart on earth has one.

    I'm an evangelist. Those video's are tracts. It is just for making a person curious what the Bible teaches.

    In the 80's, in Roswell NM (green alien capital USA); we coordinated with A few churches to set up a film projector and would show the old Rapture Movies. We'd borrow chairs for people. All the street evangelists were there too.

    We saw many people get saved. If they wanted to be baptized, one of us had a swimming pool at their home.

    We did it Fri & Sat when the teenagers would be out "dragging Main St in their cars for fun.

    The churches would pick up people to start going to church, if people needed rides. Guess I'm like Greg Laurie (Harvest Church on youtube); we remember those simple good ole days.

    It was all free to whosoever will. Book of Acts. We just used what we had. You gotta have some ministers on hand too.

    It's almost Halloween. Do we have Chick Tracts (little comic books) to hand out with the candy? Get some online. Don't cost much at all. Less than a bag of candy.

    I'm a reborn Christian and my Lord & Savior enlightened me through my Cancer Diagnosis @ the age of 38. Not only was my Oncologist but the whole team of Dr's were blown away @ how small of a percent of ppl with my Stage 3B Cancer body responded to the treatment the way mine did! I'm fully aware that we're in the End of TIMES. Although I am not sure exactly what the mark of the beast is referring to? Is the Coronavirus vaccine the mark? Please feel free to use exact verses to help me understand what the mark of the Beast is?! Thank You & God Bless
  • Brother dan - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hi Brother Chris,

    Thank you for taking your time to respond, and I appreciate your comments, and related scripture.

    You stated: "If anyone believes that the keeping of the Law is necessary to be saved, or that both the Cross & strict obedience to the Law is required to be saved, then a clear problem exists."

    What is your definition of strict obedience of the law? Is trying our best to adhere to God's 10 commandments too strict? Jesus asks us to keep the commandments. John 14:15. The apostles strived to kept the commandments 1John 5:3. I believe that as good Christians we must also strive to keep God's commandments and in doing so, will help us, to produce the good works that are acceptable to God.

    So, I believe that with our Faith, we will be blessed with Grace, and it should lead us toward obedience to God. I believe we agree on this. Where we may disagree is: Faith alone will not assure being saved. Many Christians today believe they can say they have faith and believe, but continue to live in their worldly sin, and they still expect that they will inherit the kingdom of God.

    I believe, Jesus says otherwise in scripture, and here again emphasizes keeping the commandments, and producing good work if wanting to enter the kingdom of heaven.

    Revelation 12:12-14

    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.

    Brother Chris, you and I will not be the judge, Jesus will be, and he is telling us right here in scripture plainly, what is required of us, to gain entry in through the gates into the city! In essence, we have the Judge telling us before he judges us - what he will be looking for in us!

    Peace, and God Bless.

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

    Revelation 4:7

    The four beast should be translated as the four LIVING creatures.

    These four living creatures are ALL OF CREATION:

    Man, Cattle, Fowl, and Beast.

    We can see this same thing explained when God made a covenant with CREATION never to destroy it again with water.

    Genesis 9:9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you (Noah) (MAN), and with your seed (MAN)

    after you.

    Genesis 9:10 And with every living creature (CREATION) that is with you (MAN), of the FOWL, of the CATTLE, and of every BEAST of the earth with you (MAN).........

    Revelation 4:7 And the first living creature (CREATION) was a lion (BEAST), and the second living creature (CREATION) was a calf (CATTLE), and the third living creature (CREATION) had a face as a man (MAN), and the fourth living creature (CREATION) was a flying eagle (FOWL).

    This same thing is in:

    Ezekiel 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they (CREATION) four had the face of a MAN, and the face of a lion (BEAST), on the right side: and they (CREATION) four had the face of an ox (CATTLE) on the left side, they (CREATION) four had the face of an eagle (FOWL).

  • Sheila Davis - In Reply - 4 years ago
    I agree, many have thought for years that the church will be taken away pre-tribulation. Recent years churches have -some Churches have began to re-evaluate the rapture doctrine, some have decided the church will go throught tribulation. scripture clearly states at the last trump_ 1st Corinthians 15:52. The last trump according to Revelation 8:7 the mysteries of God shall be finished & 11:15 the kingdoms of this world are now become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ.

    1st Thessalonians chapter 4:14 -18 states those that are alive and remain ... remain from what?

    2nd Thessalonians 2:1 tells us that day shall not come by any means except there be a falling away first and that man of sin, the son of perdition be revealed.

    Besides that until the 1800s(?) the rapture wasn't taught. Margaret McDonald and John Darby seemingly are responsible for it being taught.
