S Spencer This is sent just in case my first response didn't get through good point made some things on this web site can be a little bit challenging to figure out. Thanks again God Bless Onward to the return of Our Master.

Adam This is a P.S. in the 1950's the KGB wrote a document stating we are not going to take the U.S. down by force we will divide it by taking apart families and drug infiltration, I.E. divide and conquer. Look at the book None Dare call it treason, also when it comes to mind control and rebellion I.E. music look at the book marxist minstrels. I do not believe the target is the country it is a spiritual battle to take down Gods word Ephesians 6:12. Remember old testament rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. The best action for us to take Acts 5: 20 Go stand speak to the people in the temple and everywhere I added everywhere all the words of this life. God Bless

I chose the KJV because it hits straight to the point for me, everyone is different the contemporary is great also. Try them both compare scriptures and study what's best for you.

Thank you, have a bless and prosperous day

Who are black people in the bible

King James version,

Adam Historically the pilgrims were the ones escaping the religious persecution in Europe against Christianity, when you read the events of there trip Gods hand was definitely with them. Most of the other founding fathers were masons in belief who's ultimate motivation is power and money, I.E. the love of money is root of all evil. The biggest problem this country is dealing with is actually one, most people in it want things there way better known as pride. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I'm thankful that Gods word can still be spoken freely for the most part. God Bless

Brother my apologies that is probably his point some things presented here can be taken more than one way.

Diana - If you live to be a hundred and read every day you still want know it all. Paul wrote that now we see through a glass darkly but will see face to face. If you want to go to heaven it's very simple. You must be born again- John 3:16

Jesus said on these two hang ALL the law & prophets. Love the Lord with all your heart, love your neighbor as yourself and do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

If you do those things you're understanding will lead you to the truth.

Is knowing the scriptures enough to save you?

Peter knew! Still having made the mistake of forgetting what Jesus had taught Him, He drew His sword and cut off the ear of the man who was sent to arrest Christ.

In a time that would already be determined by the destiny of one man, we too are under the same cloud, even right now!

At times we allow emotion to overcome things we cannot do anything about.

As easily as this is said, so is our nature to do or say the things that are not according to Gods will!

When you come too that place you will find peace, peace even in the darkest garden! Remember one thing! He loves you, and died for U.

Repent and be baptized.

Thank you Chris (oh, btw, I am a sister :) I appreciate your responses. I had the most amazing conversation with my friend yesterday, completely Spirit-led. Things are moving..... I am trusting the Holy Spirit to guide me in all conversations, when I do that I don't fret about anything. He knows my frame it's nothing. But in Him, we can do all things.... Thank you for your thoughts, there is much wisdom there. My heart is very strongly desiring the salvation of my brothers, and the salvation of those whom God has given me. I am now believing that what God has intended, God will perform. I'm grateful for the wealth of wisdom on this site from brothers like you.

Dear Standing On Your Authority, I really love your comment. Hey, yesterday I had the most wonderful conversation with this friend I had been talking about, the conversation just flowed, I heard things coming out of my mouth from the Spriit, scriptures, it wasn't me trying to remember anything. And my friend opened right up, and said a few things that made me feel he is very close to the Kingdom. What a blessing! I have been praying for this friend for a long time, but equally importantly, loving him as he is..... trusting God. I like Charles Capps books a lot, he is simple and filled with the Spirit. I will listen to scriptures online, that's a good idea.... I fasted and prayed yesterday, I just wanted to get closer to Jesus, just be with Him. I had forgotten my friend. Lo and behold, I end up on a phone call with my friend and he comes around. And all I had done was gotten closer to the Lord! Not studying tactics, not memorizing ways and means.... Just getting close to God. Fasting and praying and feasting on the Word. Thanks for your teaching, I hear it.

I learned about the Authority of the Believer in Jesus Christ from listening to Charles Capps on YouTube. This also is why we are less effective in prayer for lost friends.

We can't firm in our faith in Jesus's ability; his Authority.

Scripture coming out of our mouth can do more than we think. We aren't going to feel or see anything. We will know that scripture will accomplish what you sent it to do.

I always ask the Holy Spirit to help me.

Sometimes I lay down and listen to 200 scriptures on YouTube. I live alone and have a lot of time to do these things. Quantity doesn't matter as much as trusting the Holy Spirit's Help.

Don't get discouraged. That's why we have Eph.6

We're doing damage and people are being freed.

I can think of one occasion where Paul was determined to get to Jerusalem by the Day of Pentecost & didn't want anything to stop him from doing so: Acts 20:15-24. Not sure if you were thinking of this one. If not, if you can remember anymore details.

My greatest fear when i look at my own sin, is that we belong to a just God. He cannot deny Himself. There will defiantly be consequences for our choices in life. My hope and my prayer is, when I finally turn my back to this darkness in my life, God will allow His face to shine on me once again. I love you Lord, I love You so much, I repent inside myself.

From everlasting to everlasting, You are Lord. Kind, and gracious, full of love, and compassion with a desire to see us succeed. Praise Your holy name,

An heifer is a young cow, under a year old. And it mustn't have produced a calf, even though it might be capable of doing so from about a year old onwards.

Thank you for your reply, brother. I didn't realize that your friend didn't believe in the existence of sin & sinners. Then he believes that whatever mankind does, whether right or wrong, is a result of some natural tendency, where some people manifest with good acts & in others bad. I wonder how he views disobedience to man's laws: e.g. road rules, assault or death against others, or even theft or lying? Are these things inconsequential to him & just an aberration in the genetic code of some? Then why should governments take action against them if that were the case; doesn't this action prove that such behaviour is unacceptable? If unacceptable to them, how much more to God Who sees all these things, even the condition of the evil heart? The fact that even supposedly 'good upright' people can still do bad things, give proof that evil reigns in all of us & man has been unable to deal with it.

Please don't "put aside the idea of evangelizing". Evangelism takes many forms; the essential part is simply being a witness of the Grace of God taken place in you. It can be as 1 Peter 3:15 shows: "be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear": just a true joyful answer to someone enquiring about this Christ in your life. Or, 1 Corinthians 9:16: "necessity is laid upon me (said Paul, the apostle & evangelist); yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel": a burden to reach out in whatever way possible, in whichever country, because of the imminence of death to that soul & resulting hell.

When we walk in the Spirit with love for all, God will not only provide the right opportunity, but the proper time & giving His Message to that lost soul. Don't be discouraged - be Christ's Light & Truth - in time when the Spirit deals with your friend's heart, he will truly know where to go to find the Light & hear the Truth. Your undiluted friendship will mean more to him as you are there for him. Blessings.

Well ask ourselves why didn't Samson simply get away from Deliah. The same reason that you and I don't forsake the sin that tempts us the most. We think that we are stronger than the sin that lures US away from God. Thus we lose our strength with God. Repentance and walking in the Spirit is the only way to overcome it . .

Hi , just a thought , evil is a word and like lots of other words it can mean different things to different people . What we call evil may be what God regards as a just punishment for our sinfulness . I'm reading Jeremiah at the moment and sooo many times God says something along the lines of : the evil I will inflict on these people because of their disobedience . It's evil to us because it's unpleasant for us to suffer it . All of you on here who have read the Bible know that very often God uses that word and the Israelites use that word to describe their suffering of a just punishment from God because of their sinfulness .

Hi Dianne.

I believe He is asking what does

( that was made ) mean.

John 1:3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made "THAT WAS MADE."

God bless.

This is my favorite book of the OT. God will provide, trust in His guidance. Powerful message of Hope!

Hi Walter. I feel that Conviction (plus Faith) plus Commitment equals an unshakeable & undistracted focus & reliance upon the LORD God.

From the Scriptures you gave, all three (Moses, Joshua & Caleb), demonstrated this throughout their lives; the special link to both Conviction & Commitment is Faith, without which both Conviction & Commitment would fail as it often happened to the children of Israel. The calibre of these three great men & the mediocrity of the rest of Israel, demonstrated that Israel only saw the Law & their compulsion to obey, but these men saw the Living God, His spoken Word, & the Divine Hand that led them.

I personally believe its wrong to talk down to anyone. Everyone is made in the image of God and just because they are lost and acting evil doesn't mean they will always. I think showing God's love to those who act unlovable is very compelling way to evangelize. People take notice of that if you withold judgement. To other believers in a closed setting I feel its good to call out the truth however, like if someone is saying how awesome a cult religion is that doesn't follow the Bible, I will try to discuss in a respectful manner what the Bible says and how that's different than the other practice.

I think the US originally upheld Christian morals and did mostly good for the world. I think that has changed. Evil has infiltrated nearly all areas of society through a particular political party that is manipulative and doesn't adhere to Christian values such as honesty. The result is a weak country that has done much evil and has enriched the corrupt elites that has enabled it. I used to be optimistic, but now believe it's probably God's will for the US to collapse under its own evil corruption and may not even exist a few decades from now. Satan is real. Evil is real. I personally don't believe gog or magog in Revelation 20:7-8 is the US. It might be Russia and some other superpower that rises up- maybe China or an an arab nation or some combination thereof. This is just pure speculation and personal opinion. I'm seeing massive delusions of people just spreading lies to each other and believing it as if they are under a trance or an evil curse. It might be a precursor to end time events.

If Christ Jesus came and died for us all torn down the partition between Jews and Gen tiles thus giving us all peace one with another isn't it wrong for us to talk against the Jews especially us that are born again

Thank you Alex & no offence taken at all. So what you're saying is that if Psalm 82 & John 10 have the expression, "ye are gods", then in your mind it doesn't matter what the subject matter is around that phrase. So if it speaks about judges or of wrong judgement being given out, then all that information is irrelevant as everything has to come back to the parable of the sower, seeds, etc.? Are you not able to see that this makes the Bible totally useless to everyone (of course, except to a few as yourself, who can see through the whole account & dig up an 'inner or deeper' meaning?).

Rather than to pursue such strange reasoning of the Scriptures, I would ask you, how did you learn to interpret the Bible in such a manner? Does your Fellowship teach this or did you learn this from some other source? I was interested enough to try & Google such beliefs/interpretations, but nothing came up, so I figured that this must be something specific to certain individuals. Even the variety of Fellowships I've attended (from high Churches to closed brethren to pentecostal), I've never heard of the Scriptures being interpreted as you've suggested. So, I'm genuinely interested to learn how you have acquired this 'knowledge'. If you feel my questions are too personal, then I will understand if don't wish to answer them, but I truly remain perplexed about this. GBU.

I'm gonna comment on my created angels comment.

If Satan is a very evil created Archangel, who desires TO HURT AND TWIST God's Creation;

make them think that they cannot possibly be born again...with a transgender body, then they are wrong.

God loves you and gave His own beloved Son, Jesus, to take all of your confusion, pain, suffering and unhappiness...IN HIS OWN BODY on the Cross;

So you could be forgiven and live with Him in Heaven eternally. Your body will be transformed to its original appearance, but it will never feel pain ever again. You will be free to love Jesus as much as you have desired to be loved yourself.

I have proof. Three times in the Book of Solomon, it's written: I AM MY BELOVEDS and MY BELOVED IS MINE! Jesus is never going to leave you.

I got healed of much deep hurt and self condemnation on those 3 scriptures. I even thought I could make Him hate me. Nope. Every time He said I LOVE YOU. I threw myself on his mercy and I am a happy person every day of my life.

Those 2 words are not in the King James Bible. You can verify by using THE SEARCH BOX.

The word you will find in the Bible is COVENANT. It's stronger than the other two words.

John Chapter 16:7

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Examples of COVENANT

Ezekiel 16:60

Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

Genesis 17:13

He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Leviticus 26:42

Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

2 Kings 23:3

And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

We have to read Genesis real slow. I like reading it with. Study Bible that has CENTER OF EACH PAGE REFERENCE COLUMNS

Also use the SEARCH BOX and type on sons (little s) of God.

Jesus is the Son of God

"sons of God" are angels, which God created. Satan is a created being who was kicked out of heaven, and he took 1/3 of all the angels with him, because they were EVIL too. They are like Satan but lower rank. See Ephesians 6

Angels cannot procreate like people. I do not know how or why human women would be happy with a creature like that?

After the flood, the evil angels became demon spirits. They drowned in the flood. Apparently, invisible things can get inside of visible things: humans, animals, birds, etc.

Anyone else? Discussion is open :)

Genesis 1 26-27

And God said, Let US MAKE man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 2: 21-23

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, MADE he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

I just watched an interesting movie on you tube. Type in "Revelation Station" and pick the Tribulation movie that's 1hour44 mins.

It's video + news clips+ Revelation imagery+ war scenes. It goes through deals, bowls and trumpets.

The only comment I have about it is that I don't believe the sealed Bride of Christ will be here when the Mark is being forced on people.

The way we are being jerked to and fro about Covid/Variant Shots. First they're giving away vaccines to poor nations. Now they say we ALL must be vaccinated to work. Need a 3rd booster...

My gut tells me that this Administration is not safe for America. WE NEED TO IMPEACH THEM.

They are GROOMING PEOPLE to jump this way and that way, with no assurance of safety. By the time the MARK IS INTRODUCED, we'll be conditioned to do what someone browbeats us into doing. We need to be wise.
