    Virginia Hi. take a look in the Epistle of 2 Timothy 1-5 but specifically verse two don't remember seeing that in the gospels. God Bless
  • Leonard lee Foss sr - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Everything in the Old Testament and New Testament points towards revealing the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. How we display ourselfs should be a testament of His Grace.

    Good Morning Virginia I've never seen that specifically in the gospels but in 2 Timothy 3:2 it states exactly that. Context of Chapter 3:1-9 is interesting. Hope this helps.

    What is material, and what is spiritual? What's the difference? To the person of this world there's a question as to whether the Spirit exists anyway. How does one communicate with their Creator and Who is He? What do we have to do to continue living after our roadkill bodies die - sharing 99% chimp DNA - in a matrix-like world where only 4% of the mass can be accounted for by astronomers. So how do we make first contact with our Creator, how do we get to the 96% side some call Heaven or the Other Side? Even physicists are now writing articles on the Other Side with terms like cold dark matter and dark energy. "For now we see through a glass darkly," is in the Bible and intriguing here.

    Here's how. Accept Jesus as Savior from your sins in the body - which go against the Spirit until forgiven. Just walk with Him daily, do a daily verse first thing in the morning with a prayer like the Lord's prayer mixed with the 23d Psalm, or your favorite. Pray a lot, but it doesn't have to be formal, it's a conversation with Jesus. He is your best friend, so talk to Him. He is not imaginary, or an imaginary friend. Once you do this daily, the moment you feel His presence the first time, YOU WILL KNOW.

    This comment is with prayer for each unsaved soul reading this to turn to the one who will always love you for who you are, BECAUSE HE MADE YOU, His Spirit is inside you and can be resurrected just like His. Jesus does it all.

    Moment by moment walk with Jesus, focusing on Him, the good things in life, love, those we treasure. Focus on loving God and others, serving them in whatever you do. All jobs serve someone.

    Once saved and walking with Jesus you are in the Spirit, you are living as unto the Lord, and whatever you do will prosper. Read Psalm 1. Keep it simple, moment by moment loving Jesus and others, turn anger away with a soft answer. Try to be at peace with everyone. Keep up the Shield of Faith, keep talking to Jesus, He treasures us all.

    I own a study of A harmony of the gospels two tremendous aspects that were worked,the reason why four Gospels the number 4 pertains to Gods putting together the earth and solar system. There are four seasons , there are four basic elements earth wind fire water, there are four directions north south east west, just some examples. In relation to the Gospels each Gospel brings to light a specific attribute to Jesus Christ walk on earth. Mathew as King of kings, Mark as servant, Luke as Gods perfect man, and John The son of God. Its work a very Inspirational work. God Bless

    Deana, precious friend, The LORD would have us not to worry. We are still in God's

    "Age Of GRACE!" We, who believe In The LORD JESUS CHRIST, His Death, Burial,

    And Resurrection, for the forgiveness of all of our sins, have a "Heavenly Hope!"

    ( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) and ( 1 Corinthians 15:51-57). Also, we "are NOT

    appointed to wrath!" ( 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11) and ( 1 Thessalonians 1:10).

    COMFORT! Amen?

    Thus, The Body Of CHRIST Will Depart from the earth, To Judgment In Heaven,

    Before the Great Tribulation Of Israel and the nations begins, on the earth.

    The man of Sin, son of Perdition does NOT appear, and his "mark" does

    NOT exist, until After we are gone.

    Please be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified In:

    Romans - Philemon = God's GRACE/PEACE Love Letters Directly TO us,

    Today, For: Consolation, Comfort, Edification, Enjoyment, Encouragement,

    And spiritual Building Up Of All The BLOOD-Washed "members { saints!" }

    In The Body Of CHRIST!, HIS Church, Seated In Heaven! Amen?

    Please start here, But remember: "ALL Scripture is Profitable for learning!"

    ( 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

    To The Praise And Glory Of HIS GRACE!!
  • David on Matthew 18:20 - 4 years ago
    What is material, and what is spiritual? What's the difference? To the person of this world there's a question as to whether the Spirit exists anyway. Walking with Jesus in the Spirit in the now, moment by moment, is the way, His yoke is easy, His burden light, He will carry most of the load, and even let you ride in the cart.

    I will tell you how. Accept Jesus as Savior from your sins in the body - which go against the Spirit until forgiven. Just walk with Him daily, do a daily verse first thing in the morning with a prayer like the Lord's prayer mixed with the 23d Psalm, or your favorite.

    Moment by moment walking with Jesus, focusing on Him, and the good things in life, love, and those we treasure. Focus on loving God and others and serving them in whatever you do, for all jobs serve someone.

    Once you are saved and live your life in the Spirit, you are living as unto the Lord, and whatever you do will prosper. Read Psalm 1. Keep it simple, moment by moment loving Jesus and others, turn anger away with a soft answer. Try to be at peace with all people because we don't fight flesh and blood.

    And when you realize you can carry the Shield of Faith daily with ease because you can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you, you will know peace in your walk. Sure, you'll make mistakes, get back up, ask forgiveness, and keep walking. He is always there, faithful, tender, merciful, and loving you as the uniquely created soul you are, part of Himself. We are His children.

    You can hear Jesus voice easy, read the New Testament, John is good because John was very close to Jesus, was a minister all his life outliving the other disciples and he loved Jesus.

  • William Hayes - In Reply on 2 Timothy 3 - 4 years ago
    I just couldn't remember. That is it, thank you. I read a chapter a day. Sometimes more. If I have something happening. My phone bible app gives me the verse of the day. It talks about what is happening.

    Every day I say the serenity prayer and the lords prayer

    Every night

    I say now I lay my down to sleep

    I die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take

    The I pray for all that don't know they need God

    I also pray for everyone on the prayer list and occasionally I add people

    It is working wonders I am just saying God bless you and yours thank you

    Differentiating between what is material, and, or, spiritual can be overwhelming . It can in some instances drive a person into a realm , unlike any other! A realm found in the life of a true believer. If you are in the spirit ,or out is a determining factor! Being in the spirit will require discipline, listening and obeying the Holy Spirit! The universal laws require strict observance! Unless you know these laws, you can never succeed in accomplishing them! This is why God is sent His Son to die for mankind! Understanding the love principalities in salvation cannot be completed outside of Jesus Christ! The cleansing, the atonement, the shedding of His blood, the cleansing will make you ready for these things! You cannot , nor ever fulfill the law of God the Father , outside of Jesus Christ! Faith and only faith, will open the doors you will need to overcome the worlds and the sin that is in it! Remembering, The Christ, in and through Holy communion ,and Baptism, are outward signs. We can do these things without the help of a worldly priest.in the privacy of our home! The church's beginning started in the home! FES
  • Fred - In Reply - 4 years ago
    My friend, the scriptures will find a place in the heart! They will bury themselves within you. They will cry out when the time comes! How can these things be? Oh, if not for the grace and power found in the majesty of all things, of heaven and earth, both here and now! The sanctified shed blood of Jesus Christ! A name above all names. The Son, of GOD! Even Jesus the Christ ! Can you hear Him?
  • Chris - In Reply on Revelation 2 - 4 years ago
    Hello Estela. Yes, many people have enquired how a good God can permit so much suffering upon us. If He is so good, shouldn't He step in & put an end to sicknesses, diseases, murders, etc.?

    I think of it this way: if God did put a stop to these things, then they would only be temporary, since every man, woman & child is born a sinner ( Romans 3:23), & because of our sinful condition, all these things come upon us. When Adam & Eve were created, they were sinless, enjoying God's Presence continually, no sickness, in harmony with animal life around them, & would never see death. But once they disobeyed God & sinned, they lost all that perfection, & they had to hide from God (Genesis chapters 2 & 3).

    And ever since, their sinful nature & death was passed upon all of us ( Romans 5:12) & the proof is the way we behave before God & our fellow-man even now. Even the one who murders another is no different to the one who has hate in his heart, according to Jesus ( Matthew 5:21,22). Or the man who cheats on his wife is the same as the one who cheats on his taxes. So all these evil traits that we might have in us are a result of indwelling sin. Yes, God can stop us from doing those evil acts, but evil will always be with us & in our hearts - and this is unacceptable before God.

    What God has done, was to give us a new heart & a new spirit so that we won't do those things that come from within ( Matthew 15:19). If our heart is clean & right before God, we won't do evil & hurt one another and that was why He sent His Son to this Earth to give His Life. Jesus paid the price for our sin, which we couldn't pay, & made us acceptable before God & a clean vessel to be used by Him. So in God's Sight, stopping the murder of someone doesn't fix the problem of murder: murder will always happen, whether against someone or in our hearts. The solution to stop them is that they be changed on the inside. But most people refuse His salvation & so evil will continue with so much suffering.
  • Chris Holt - In Reply on Revelation 13:16 - 4 years ago
    The Bible is true, and it is certain that the mark of the beast is not the vaccine, nor is it the testing for C19.

    The Bible tells us that the mark of the beast will be received willingly, but the vast majority who will receive it, will know nothing about it until it is too late.

    In Revelation 18:23 we find the following text which is referring to modern day Babylon.

    "for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

    This word "sorceries" is strongs G5331 "pharmakeia" which is where the English word pharmacy has its roots.

    The Biblical meaning in a nutshell, is the use or the administering of drugs.

    There can be no doubt that the use and administering of drugs is one of the means by which the serpent uses to deceive "all nations."

    And by this text we can know for sure that all the nations will be deceived into receiving the mark of the beast, but it is not the mark of the beast in and of itself.

    We know this because the mark of the beast is determined by whom we worship.

    The controversy which began in heaven was between Christ and Satan, and it is over the worship that rightfully belongs to Christ; it is that which Satan covets. The one thing that Satan desired from Christ when He came to the earth was His worship; and Satan was prepared to give everything for it. Matthew 4:8-9 proves this point, as does the following.

    "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation."[ Rev. 14:9, 10.] See also Revelation 13:15.

    And so it is by worshipping the beast that we give homage to the god of this world, and in so doing we will receive his mark.

    Our attention therefore, should be upon receiving the mark or the seal of the living God, for if we have His seal, then we shall never receive the mark of the beast.

    The scriptures are the will of God toward man. Yes, He is that He is!

    Can we know Him without His word? If this bible were taken away, would we be able to still know Him? I predict a time that even now is, that churches will not be able to keep their doors open unless they use a certain bible! This bible will be determined by the anti Christ. More and more the name of Christ is eliminated in the course of denying the trinity. e.g. B.C. has been replaced by "common era, and before common era". These ideas procured by the docs. of theology ,who, giving us "all the same God", in the hopes of protecting man from Himself!

    These works of righteousness are the works of man and not of God! Paul, could not be more direct to the point when he says we are not saved according to works! Mans works of righteousness mean absolutely nothing before God!

    God said, I have chosen you! You have not chosen me! Love Him with everything that is in you! all your heart ,soul, and mind! They may try and silence Him, one thing is sure, no one can remove Him from your heart!

    Hiya Henry but you do greatly err. Remember Solomon the wisest king in the O.T. When he didicated his great new temple he made interession for the Gentiles,The strangers that is not of thy ppl Israel but have come from a faraway country, if they shall come and worship in this Temple hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place and do all that the stranger asked of thee that THY NAME mighty be great in all the world. Solomon had his arms raised to heaven and was making interession for the Gentiles approx a 1000 yrs before Christ and here comes Christ preaching in the temple about Naaman a Syrian a leper that God had sent Elijah to when in fact there were many other lepers in Israel that Elijah was not sent to at that time,But Naaman a SYRIAN WAS HEALED was made Clean long b/f Israel . Abraham himself was a Syrian Duet 26 : 5.

    Praise the Lord for His provision that He freely gives unto His people. As we see in this chapter 5, the Lord will use all who has a desire to fulfill His will, and supply all that is needed to accomplish it.

    Lord, help us now in this pandemic that is being fostered upon us. Give us leaders who have godly wisdom, and the heart to glorify you. Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers.

    God bless everyone this day, August 5, 2021.

    Embalming was not something done during those times. People used spices to repel the smell of death in a corpse! Do you remember Mary when she poured this fragrance over Christ, getting him ready for His death! How Judas spoke against it, that the spices should have been given to the poor! This fragrance fragrance would be a sign of life everlasting! If and when you smell that fragrance, look up, for Christ will be coming for you! When the Father in heaven reveals these things unto you, you will say "My Lord and my God". In all the world and time of times , we are going to see the return of Christ! Satan will do everything in His power to deceive the world, Even as He does now!
  • Chris - In Reply on 2 Timothy 3 - 4 years ago
    Hello William. Others here may have other suggestions for you, but the only Scripture that comes to mind is in Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

    Some people use this verse to support training up children in the ways of the Lord, but we do sometimes hear of those same children, when older, choosing to no longer follow the Lord, preferring the offerings of the world. But this is not the sole intent of this Scripture. It speaks about training or instructing a child while they are still young, impressionable, teachable, to be guided in all facets of life: in virtue, spiritual matters, education, physical pursuits, & in accordance with the child's propensities & interests - that the child might be well-formed early in life, so that those qualities, once imparted through parental love, may develop bringing forth an adult who lives his life in accordance with his childhood training.

    It was good to read that your health is better & indeed, as you read from God's Word & bring all your mattes & concerns before Him in prayer, He will sustain you & given you His Joy & Peace, that will even surmount any weaknesses in life. Keep resting in Him & trusting Him for all your needs, brother.

    Good morning Mishael But the J.W.'s Teach a very sick thing they go door to door teaching that God Almighty neva had an Absolute Son, he was just a Token Son like ADAM , Another Adam . How sick is that .As if Jesus cannot multiply after the God kind,Jesus said to whom the WORD came ( HIS SEED ) it made them Gods and the scripture cannot be broken . It was God Almighty that said that everything has to multiply after its kind and we see that Jesus cd multiply after the God kind as that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit as God Almighty is spirit which is the H.G. the God kind the Children of Promise via the seed of Christ . When he breathe on them he was multipling after the God kind their Child was the H.G. The Child of Promise . His breath was his Word which is his SEED. That was the great Promise i will multiply thy seed as the Stars of Heaven ,thus the Sower and his seed ,his Words. Behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world, Had he not been God the Son his blood cd not have been the Atonement for the sins of the WORLD.

    Robert,

    Your question has also been a question to widows for a long time. They miss their spouses, and look forward to meeting them in Heaven. There are cases where spouses have passed away and the widow or widower marries the second time. Then the question becomes: which one will be preferred in heaven. On Earth one of the greatest joys we know is meeting a good friend we haven't met for a long time. If a spouse or Mother passes, the greatest joy that we comprehend would be to meet them, hence it burdens our hearts to think that we might not know them. My thought is this, Heaven will be a joy filled place and we can find consolation in looking forward to meeting our loved ones, and that's OK.

    The Bible says: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Corinthians 2:9 I believe the Joy in Heaven will be a level far beyond the joy we know on earth, and far beyond what we can even comprehend in our mortal minds.

    It should become clear that America is at a lose of her sovereignty, but has lost in the midst of a pandemic the ability to preach the Good news! I remember Christ words when He said He is coming. Is he coming for you? At no other time could I more persuasive then to say look up your redemption draws nigh! These days are upon us. Rejoice ,I say, Rejoice!

    Study yourself,

    This coming attack is against the nations who were once Israel, under David, then scattered. God often says that He is against His people and will use our enemies to do His will. You should be able to spot God imparting this fact on to you.

    Please read Ezekiel 38 to see satan's coming after Israel and he takes her.

    Read the aftermath, how Jacob gets knocked out by his brother, Obadiah:10

    This violence on God's people gives rise to speculation that around this time frame God will protect His people, Christians, from harms way and usher them off to safety. Regardless of any professed doctrines, the strike will see God's children under attack.

    Within the harmony of the gospels what I've studied there are 4 gospels because four pertains to the world, i.e. seasons of the year, directions north south east west, another example earth wind fire water, the reason four gospels each magnifies a different aspect of Jesus Christ ministry on earth. In matthew as king, in mark a servant to man, in luke as a perfect man, in John as the Son of God.
