You are correct he was a Jew, in fact he was an Israelite. I never said he was an Egyptian you assumed that I thought he was. Why do you assume as well sir?

Why would you assume that I chase men like the "Whore" the Tobit spoke about? I have never chased a man. You have taken this TOO far at this point! Please stay in whatever lane you're in please.

Do you sir assume? Do you always pray before you do something? When you assume that someone does not pray or use discernment are you not calling them foolish? Are you calling me foolish? I do not think you used discernment before writing this thread.

I do not feel I need to explain or entertain your comments. I don't know if you are trying to prove a point or educate me on the bible. Either way, my opinion or view is my own, kind of like freedom. So I'm going to believe what I believe and I'm sure you will do the same. FYI saying "Blessings" does not soften anything but thanks for your admit to correct/educate. I'm sure there will be others who will try to correct me and that's ok too. "Social Media" should be a place to give an opinion without corrections but it is not. So I guess who's next?

Reading my Bible and trusting in the God of it and the salvation that is in his Son Jesus ; none of this surprises me or alarms me .

Trust the Lord .

What happened to penninah

Hi Dense.

You are welcome.

God bless.

Scott Dumm You are correct that's not possible, by judean calendar at that time, He was crucified and and entombed between 3pm. and sunset wednesday so that the jews could eat there passover, He raised from the tomb sometime saturday 72 hours later. I'm sure you will be given a few different perspectives on this. God Bless

Hi my suggestion is that you read a few chapter from old testament beginning at genesis and a few from new testament, beginning at Matthew. Hod bless you.

Scott It is Not possible since he had to be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights , by judean calendar at that time he was crucified wednesday before passover was celebrated sometime before sunset and rose saturday sometime before sunset again Judean time.

Rereading verse 5, "the good works"...

Where do we find these good works (specified) ?

In my Bible KJV in Matthew 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist. preaching in the wilderness of Judea. (Josh:14:10} I am trying to connect Josh: 14:10 to this verse. I would appreciate any assistance with this God Bless

I'll check on that. Moses was born to Jews. But he was adopted by Pharaohs sister as an infant. He was not Egyptian.

Blessings

I was kinda nervous about the "rapture" because I sleep like a rock. In all the movies they show clothes falling from the sky. I thought maybe I'd sleep right up to heaven :D

Then I fell over the ten virgins parable!! Matthew 25; about the Caught UP to Jesus In The Clouds.

I couldn't figure out how to have on my armor of God (Eph.6) and be in wedding dress with my full lamp. Does the dress go over the armor? Or vice versa. I need both hands for the sword and lamp!

I prayed. I wear my armor 24/7; the sword of the spirit is living within me (Bible). I'll close my eyes till I feel clothing :0

Why is this subject so contentious amongst us? All we have to do is be ready; be looking. Be filled up on the JOY of the Holy Spirit every day.

I truly think Jesus just wants us to be living heaven now.

And no I wasn't a member of a mega church. Little storefront churches of the happiest people on earth: street ministers. They carry the Good News to whosoever the Lord of the Harvest sent us to. And we baptized them in swimming pools, fountains or bathtubs. Shocker!

We walked up on miracles many a time. Being able to see a new birth on a sidewalk, is a rare blessing. We would give rides to church with us the next day. Little storefronts can get loud.

The Pastor, David (and his family) were also the music ministers. Like listening to King David sing Psalms. Mega Churches are not for me. It's not in me to criticize any Church. Jesus is Lord of His Church and he surely knows WHO belongs to Him. He writes our names in the Book of Life.

There are no "celebrities" in heaven. Matthew 25:31-46. Jesus is the judge so we don't have to do any of that.

If our Government goes after the wealth of those churches, we better have a back-up plan. Let's hope we never go through what the Chinese Christians go through daily. Amen.

Mishael

I like that

Ask anyone in here. I said we are being " "groomed".

First they say get it, then don't get it. People stay home, teach school to kids or play video games. Time out to sit in a line to get donated food and water.

Then they say it's safer, get the vaccine; but home school continues, employers cannot get workers.

Now numbers are up for the variant virus.Biden's government opens the border to Mexico, and allows unvaccinated Mexicans to come in without mandatory vaccination; also Biden is determined to bring uneducated Palestinians to USA who are HELL BENT ON SPREADING SHARIA LAW.

We have the Democratic Congress that legislates Madness every single day!

I did the google search on exactly how we impeach or force out dangerous legislators. Who will ante up and do that?!

Instead they are packing the Supreme Court with more seats for Democrats. AND THEY ARE SYSTEMATICALLY REWRITING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS !!

In the name of Molech, Americans pay their tax dollars for foreign abortions.

Our Church's are being closed down with illegal restrictions, policing and fines. It's becoming impossible to get tax exemption status for a new church.

I personally think that even worse things are going to happen because TELEVISION IS AS ADDICTIVE AS HEROIN. Just try fasting from that 1 week. Possibly we might fast and pray after Sharia Law is legalized?

It takes mall bombings and car bombs to wake up Americans.

Our poor little children are going to grow up in all this weakness and wickedness. We have to vote for the PERSON WHO IS GOING DOWHAT WE THE PEOPLE WANT. It's crazy to vote for a person with a pretty face, nicer suit, and a BAD record.

READ WHAT THESE POLITICIANS ARE ABOUT, on Epoch Times News. They have a good newspaper.

National News is owned by the Antichrist! He's waiting in the wings like an animal with teeth.

LOOK UPWARD EVERY DAY. Jesus told us to.

2 Peter 3:4, 2 Timothy 3:4,

1 Thessalonians 4:16 5:2, 5:6

I'm with you there Lighton , often when I read posts on here I have wondered , has the person read it all ? Have they treated the whole thing with respect ? Not just the knew Testament ? Did they get to know God through the Old Testament before they got to know Jesus ? Do they respect all the Words of God or just the ones that back up their preconceptions and already formed mind sets ? Some times I honestly feel as if they have just typed one word in a search engine and quoted every verse with that word in . My Bible is paper ,with no references at all in it ,and I've never ever used a search engine . My search engine is my brain , and you cant search in a brain for something unless it's already there in your brain because you have read it all many times .

In Hebrew, the word is 'chokmah' & the feminine gender is assigned to it. In English, Wisdom would have no gender (a neuter word), & we would just refer to it as "it".

I like to believe that I am faithful to Jesus and have been most of my life! There have been times when things were not easy, but we never went without. God blessed me with a mind, and a will too work and make a good living. He has fulfilled his promises. As a matter of fact, my life at one time was as Job. Now, I can say like him that god has doubled and in some cases tripled my health, property, and children. All these things I lost a one time. The bible is true, only if you believe it and what it says, and not what someone else says! Such as Jobs friends could be like ours, who say curse God.

Well Chris it's not elusive to me , I have read it many times over the years but did not think much of it as some of us know God is the eternal Spirit and creator of all things invisible and visible . Also the God of all men including Jesus . But many can not fathom that fact .

What the Lord taught me is many do not read the Bible as I do . Rather they read men's books on the Bible and also search engines more recently and they are terrible for leaving out verses . Computers are destroying the truth if that's how you get your information these days . How many verses are omitted and never heard ? Plenty is my guess .

Like google that has its preferred customers on the top of the page and many never get viewed or on page 100 that no one reads .

People need to get back to reading the hard copy Bible and let God use it as intended .

My observation I hope that helps someone .

First century Christians met on the first day of the week: Acts 20:7

However, I believe every day we can worship and honor God and I don't see any Biblical reason for excluding certain days or prioritizing one day over another.

why do we worship on the 1st day of the week or Sunday?

The same spirit that lives in believers, will go forth convicting those who live outside in sin, the sin that so easily besets us! The power of this same spirit that lives in man ,would go forth and conquering the Goliaths of the world. Conquering even their hearts and minds, that they might see the truth. Opening the eyes of the blind, coming to the knowledge that we must live, excepting who we are and the differences in us! Growing in the knowledge that comes from having confidence in the creator of all things, both here and now, into eternity! That men would be chosen to lead, to guide in all wisdom, looking for the grace we all so vitally need! So help me God! In Jesus name. Amen and amen!

question;

If he died on Friday and arose Sunday morning how is that possible

>"Why are "faithful individuals constantly scrambling to make ends meet and individuals with not so reputable lives prosper?"

Psalms 73

why is wisdom referred to as she

Thank you! This explains a question I have had for a long time!

Thank you for your thoughts, Lighton. I hope you have success in locating that elusive Scripture. God bless.

Hi Chuck.

I believe there is 2 keys to these passages starting from John 15:1-12.

For starters Jesus says I am the "true" vine. I think that was in contrast of Israel being a degenerate vine.

Jeremiah 2:21. Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the DEGENERATE PLANT OF A STRANGE VINE UNTO ME?

Israel done things be ordinances and command, The law couldn't change you from within.

I believe the key here is who's PRODUCING the fruit.

See here in

John 15:4-5. Abide in me, and I in you. As THE BRANCH CANNOT BEAR FRUIT OF ITSELF, EXCEPT IT ABIDE IN THE VINE; NO MORE CAN YE, EXCEPT YE ABIDE IN ME.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: FOR WITHOUT ME YE CAN DO NOTHING.

This phrase means that Jesus will fellowship with the believer. The idea is this: "He who abides in me, with me abiding in him." There is a dynamic with Christ that takes place when believers allow Christ to abide in them. The person who has Christ abiding in him or her bears "much fruit." I believe with Christ in you, What ever you ask for will be in his will for you.

God bless.

Like Jehu, we can get rid of the "big" sins in our lives and yet still be "away" from God in our true relationship with Him. We may find ourselves missing our Bible reading, for what ever reason. Not praying due to circumstances in our day. However, God knows those situations we face, and He is merciful and graceful towards our short comings.

We must therefore assess our daily walk, repent and confess our sins and choose to please and glorify our God.

May we love the Lord and carry out His will. There is much to bring before the throne of Grace of God. The situation in Afghanistan, current pandemic, our economy, our social and political turmoil but to name a few. Most of all, the many people who are facing eternity without the Lord Jesus Christ in their souls.

May we prove to be faithful stewards in His name.

God bless everyone. August 2021
