Bible Discussion Replies PAGE 1375

Thanks Jesse and Dianne. I appreciate the feedback and explanation of this Scripture.

In the flesh I have nothing good to offer my Lord. But the Scriptures show, guide, and remind me my shorts comings in order for me to be "right" before God.

I can under stand David's reluctance to correct Absalom for his actions. Maybe David believes that time will heal everything. Provers 29:15. Not realizing that in- action does not solve anything and makes it more difficult to correct future situations.

Because of our in-action in the past we have lost the privilege to pray, and read the Bible in our school and in public places. We are not allowed to invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ or quote Scripture in the public arena. Copies of the Ten Commandments can not be displayed in Public areas. Nativity scenes have been banned in many public areas.

In times past, our halls of justice and legislature echoed the Words of wisdom of our God in prayer in speeches, and discussions.

However, our God promises a return of His glory, and healing if we call on Him, 2 Chronicles 7:14, 15. Malachi 4:2; Matthew 9:35

Let us go forward as an Army of the Lord, in loving kindness reaching to all who are in need. 1 Corinthians 13 : 1-7.

God bless all the brethren in this time of affliction as we await the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dianne,

I don't need help or consultation, no, I love bringing out the truth, seeing what wilts in sunlight. I posted this so proud, stubborn doubters would see how wrong it is to suspend logic. I love God, but I'm not taking a fall for his slack writers.

Otherwise, I'm doing great, enjoying my time, sitting here drinking my coffee.

Hi Dianne.

She never said anything about being Atheist. In fact She said God is perfect Men Is not. The attack is on the word of God, We're not the only ones who visit this site. What happens if a Kid or young Adult who haven't made his mind up yet get a load of that and no one is willing to rebuke her. The scripture tells us too, in fact a big part of Revelation Ch 2 the Church is found to be at fault for the things we suffer to enter the Church. And also what doctrine and deeds ect.. This is our responsibility to flock.

Acts 20:28. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

1 Peter 5:2. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

The very thing that's beeing attacked is what it takes to reprove her.

2 Timothy 3:16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

It not about condemning her it's about getting her to know this is against God.

And yes this is a commentary but it's where we search for truth and Jesus is and should be Lord over this Commentary

This shouldn't be where you get that kind of freedom of speech.

We shouldnt play by the world rules in our Christian community. Satan is prince of this world and Christ is Lord over his Church. and an attack on the Head of the Church is an attack on the body. So yes it is against me. And it's against the Gospel because the Gospel is the word of God.

And the commotion is not triggered by the material she presented but the intent behind it.

This is the official king James website that offers the word of God. you don't get on it by accident.

God bless.

Hi Brother Jesse.

Some Atheist seem to be saying, "I don't believe there's a God and I hate him.

Hi Mishael.

Apology is accepted.

She may not be atheist but what's done by her is certainly not inspired by the Holyspirit. And I'm I'm not challenging her claim but what's in question is her intent.

Satan deceived Eve by twisting the word of God, And he's still in that business!!

God bless.

Anderson,

The author of this letter is Judas, the brother of James, and half-brother to the Lord Jesus. Jude's letter is specifically written to believing Jews as it refers to the Old Testament scriptures and the Jewish historical books. Jude was written around 70 A.D. from Jerusalem. It is believed that Jude was written about 3 or 4 years after Peter's second letter.

Peter wrote his second letter around 66-67 A.D., right before his death. He warned of the false teachers which would be coming in the future. That's in 2 Peter. Jude wrote his letter in the Present Tense indicating that the false teachers that Peter warned about were now present in the Church.

Richard,

John probably did not baptize Jesus in anyone's name. What we have to keep in mind is that when John baptized Jesus, it was before Jesus gave any command to baptize in the name of...............

Kipyegon Gilbert,

God views wisdom differently than we do. In addition to the scriptures shared by Dianne, I would like to also draw your attention to 1 Corinthians 1:27 which says "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"

How should that make us feel? God looked out to the human race, and He chose Paul for salvation and Paul said that he was the "Chiefest of sinners." He's a candidate. He's a candidate for salvation. You see, the wisdom of the world is full of all its philosophies and religious beliefs, and intellectual thoughts, but God says I can't use somebody like that.

God chooses the foolish things of the world, people who are not born into nobility and really don't have much status in the world, so that people will look at them and say "Oh, you're one of those foolish people because you believe in Jesus Christ. You need a crutch. Religion is a crutch. It's Foolish!"

Heavenly wisdom, or the wisdom of God would be seeing life the way God sees life. God calls the wisdom of the world, the wise (human wisdom) foolish things.

If I misread your post, I apologize to you with great sorrow.

I know some atheists and it greatly hurts my heart that they choose to go to hell, because they don't believe in it. Got one of those in my family and at the top of my prayer list.

I pray and pray and pray, lay in the floor and beg God through tears.

Forgive me.

Spencer,

First off, I can hardly believe your reply. You are standing on SAND my friend.

We DO NOT HAVE Gods permission to edit or delete any portion of the Bible. SEE PROOF:

Revelation 22

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall ADD unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall TAKE AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the BOOK OF LIFE, and OUT of the holy city, and from THE THINGS which are written in this book.

**That is a passage to write down on an index card and tape it at eye level, on your refrigerator.

I had a Pastor that once said: If you never run into the Devil and his operatives, the Demons; YOU'RE PROBABLY WALKING ALONGSIDE WITH HIM.

They hate Jesus, and they hate Jesus's Followers.

A Christian that takes Ephesians 6, to heart; makes them WISE in God's eyes. Trouble will rain down on your house, and it takes more than "Jesus Loves Me" to scatter those evil beings into outer darkness.

Apostle Paul was shipwrecked in a storm, gets to land on broken pieces of wood with other sailors. It's freezing so they start a fire. A (snake) Adder, crawls out of the fire and bites Paul. It's a very deadly snake venom. Everybody is waiting for Paul to fall over dead. "No deadly thing..scripture"

Satan tried to kill Paul and start a party on the beach.

Point is, Jesus clearly taught us, attempts can be made against our life, by the Devil. To teach others spiritual warfare is "just Old Testament" and not relevant anymore; is heresy.

Anything written in the Bible is relevant in any time period. Teachers of untruth bear the full weight of condemnation for doing so. Don't expose sheep and baby lambs to wolves, hirelings, or false teaching; false prophesy.

Christians: know what that Bible says, yourself !!

YOU prove things said, True or False.

Mishael

i never seen nor heard God....no vision or dream to confirm it was Him....no feeling or expirience to be absolutely sure it was Him ,but solely by scripture do i know the God of Abraham n Moses n Jesus......u may think thats not enough for u to believe Him but it has kept me from many lies as it is the foundation of belief:scriptures.....may the rewards of ur kindness follow u in goodness n may u love like God loves.....

Dianne,

It is interesting that you say that because we see that even today, especially with the health, wealth, and prosperity teachers. They see a believer struggling with hardship and they say that God is not blessing them or that they do not have enough faith. But you are correct. I did some study several years ago on Jewish culture back in that time frame and that was their way of thinking. They believed that if you were wealthy and in perfect health, that you were truly blessed by God. Well, Paul was a mess! He had health issues, problems with his eyesight, and boils all over his body, shipwrecked, beaten, and spent time in prison. He was not a pretty sight to look at. The way the Jewish leaders saw it was that there was no way that Paul was a man of God because how could he go through so much hardship and struggle in his life if God was blessing him? It's sad that there are still people who believe this way today!

Can a person who believes in God, believes in Jesus, believes the bible is true, and goes to church still be considered an atheist? I would love to hear some of your thoughts about who an atheist is before I share my thoughts on the word atheist.

Ryan,

Very interesting! It does seem as though there's a contradiction there. Definitely one I never caught, not that I look for contradictions because I trust God's word, but I do realize that men can make mistakes. The great thing about it is that when we find something that is in contradiction, the answer can usually be found in scripture. In this case, the one you are sharing, we can figure out which age we should go with, because they can't both be correct, right?

Was he 22 or was he 42?

I'm going with 22, and here's why. If you go to 2 Kings chapter 8 Verse 17, it tells us that Ahaziah's father Joram was 32 years old when he became king. He died 8 years later at the age of 40. Guess who took the throne after Joram died at age 40? His son Ahaziah took the throne according to the bible. I'm not too good at math, but I think I can figure this one out. If king Joram died at age 40 and his son took the throne after his death, he could not have been 42 or he would have been older that his dad, and that don't work unless you're from Arkansas! (Dear Lord, I hope no one from Arakansas is reading this!!!). So I think it is safe to say that his age was 22, not 42.

I chose to answer you because you seem sincere. Someone else listed a whole slew of "contradictions" but never asked for help figuring them out. I'm not too sure what their motive was. But I believe we can find the answer to every supposed contradiction in the bible from the bible itself!

Who did john the baptist baptise jesus in the name of?

Also in your reply about turning from such attacks, if chooses not to believe in God why would she believe in satan, I've known so called christians who believe in God and not satan or the devil.

Hell is thought of as being a place. Hell is not a place where the wicked suffer forever. Ezekiel 18:20 KJV - The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Ezekiel 18:32"For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye."

Revelation 20:14 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Matthew 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell." That hell fire is God's light, taking darkness away forever. Wicked see that light as vengeance - wrath. Hebrews 12:29 "For our God is a consuming fire." James 1:17

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." Malachi 4:3 "And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts." No one will see God as the fires of hell, when death is no more. Revelation 20:5 "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. They are the wicked. I am working on reducing that number. The size of the lake of fire depends on the number of lost people and souls. There will be a lake of fire. Fallen angels will be destroyed." Eternal torment, made people to make tormenting laws against people. God says fear not, don't be afraid, and don't worry through people, and in person. Ezekiel 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the LORD God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. The saved will have charity, being prefect, not being offended by what is seen, being peaceful. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 - 7, KJV. Giving unto the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house has nothing to do with the giving of money.

Hi Dianne,

I think I'm agreeing with what you're saying if I'm understanding you correctly. I was "racking my brain" trying to figure out what "Hog good" meant but I figured out that you meant to say (how good) the true God is. You are telling me that "Suicide is not of The Will of the True God," and I agree with you completely on that. But what I am wondering about is if you're telling me that based on something I said in my post? I re-read what I typed and I said "I don't think God satisfaction in a person taking their own life." Were you responding to that? If so, I agree, that doesn't make any sense at all! What it was supposed to say is "I don't think God (takes any) satisfaction in a person taking their own life."

That's what I get for not proofreading before hitting the submit button. I'm such a nerd!

Hi Derek , I am sorry for your obvious distress , I come from a different place to you , when I was very young some of my elders would talk about the good old days ,that they were better simpler kinder times , my Grandparents told me the truth from a very early age , my Grandad volunteered to fight in ww2 , him and his relatives were on the brink of starvation in the north east of England in the 1930's , there was no money no jobs no food or even coal to light a fire , he joined up thinking that he might at least get fed , he almost starved to death in a p.o.w. camp , when he finally got home he wondered where his little sister was ,he was told she had died aged twelve years from a broken heart after her mother died , it was many years before he found out that she had died of an ectopic pregnancy at twelve but it had been hushed up , there weren't ever any good old days , we have always been as horrible as we are now ,it's just that there are more of us now and we all know each others sins as well as we know our own , please don't dispair , imagine if we could see all that God sees every day , it must make for hideous viewing , I've never , even as a child ,had much faith in humanity , my faith is in God and in Jesus ,they alone are good , they love us , me and you and they want us with them for ever , just give your heart and mind and faith to them , they will never ever let you down , please don't let the horrors of this world overwhelm the joy of God's love and mercy and plan for you , where ever you see any beauty or kindness you are seeing God's love in action , you can be an agent of His ,bring a bit of God's love with you where ever you go and let us all wait patiently and excitedly for the return of our Saviour . He is coming !

S Spencer I am not disagreeing with you we have different approaches, I choose to let God work on her Heart, besides this is a commentary.

Michael,

Revelation 20:8 says that Satan shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. So we're talking millions of people.

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, meaning the entire earth.

Gog and Magog, we call it May-gog in English, but it is pronounced Mah-gog. Gog is the word that the Jews use for all people who are the enemies of Israel. This is all taken from imagery in Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39. In that picture, the kings of the east will come through the dried up Euphrates River and attack God's people. Magog is the god, or idol of Gog.

S Spencer Sir I never said attack and never intended or implied, satans already lost but perhaps she won't be. This is Spiritual we do not fight against flesh and blood, I will always hive benefit of doubt to the lost. Also this was never anything against gospel or you.

Cherry Here's some items non contradictory if the Bible is not true than around the world every year twice a year celebrate the birth death and resurrection of the Son of the Author of the Book. That many people by sheer logic and reasoning can't be wrong. Also just some stuff about creation, did you know that what a humming bird does in flight is aerodynamically impossible, did you know that on earth nothing is ever lost it just changes in structure organically, did you know that if the sun Got less than a football field closer to the earth we would be toast, did you know that a womens left lower arm bone is curved and stronger than a mans to carry children, did you know that way before columbus discovered the earth was round the Bible calls it a sphere. That's the tip of Gods words Iceberg so to speak. Just some stuff to think about. P.S. One other thing He created man because like any Father he wanted and needed to have something to love.

Hi Ryan ,we read in 2nd Chr ch21 v20 that Jehoram king of Jerusalem was only 40 years old when he died , so Ahaziah could not have been 42 years old when he began to reign , so the narrative in 2nd Kings which states that Ahaziah was 22 years old is very likely correct , it can get a bit confusing as the families of the kings of Israel and Judah did intermarry and pick the same names at times ,this does seem to be a genuine error in translation .

Christs enemies thought they were not born of fornication, being born of fornication. Christ's enemies thought they were of Abrahams seed, not being of Abrahams seed, even when they were the literal seed of Abraham. How they thought made them to be born of fornication, not being of Abrahams seed. Their mind was married to Satan. Fornication has to do with the unseen realm, not the realm that is seen. The church has been blind for a long time. Jesus wanted his enemies to no longer be born of fornication, when he wanted them to be born again. Our financial system will completely transform from what it is, when God's mind comes into the minds of people, making them to be reborn.

Hi Sister Dianne.

There may be minor error in the text some is because of translation, I can give you an often used verse that's not in the original, But the verse is correct and doesn't change the narrative. The truth is not compromised!! You can discard John 3:16. out the bible and the remaining scripture will cover for it. God message is spread a little hear a little there, line upon line. The Holyspirit have his way of bringing out truth if he had only one word remaining!!! The rocks will cry out. Balaams donkey spoke!! God is not depending Mans faithfulness to do anything!!

Besides we say he Loves us, We say he's all knowing, We're saved by grace through faith and faith comes by hearing the word.

Why would loving God stand by and watch little feeble man derail his Whole program!!

If so Satan wins.

Every thing I mentioned is being attacked.

We know we wrestle not against flesh and blood but what's behind it. She need to Know that too. We are to take a stand!

Jesus says in Matthew 12:30. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

You can't be with the Lord and attack hi word by which we gather.

She must turn from such attacks and ask God for forgiveness.

God bless.

Who is being talked about In esdra: 6 54-59

Cherry , if you are counting typos then we are all in big trouble ! Also , as the Bible was written down by many different scribes living at different times , I think it would be very suspicious if there wasn't an occasional inconsistency , if everything matched exactly it would look as if it was contrived , have you ever asked three or four people who work in the same office to give a detailed account of the same day. ? Have you read the four gospels ? The very distinct personalities come through very clearly , my guess is that you have not read any of the Bible but are quoting some one else ,please forgive me if I'm wrong , if you think you have shocked or upset any of us Christians on here I'm sorry to disappoint you , it has taken me 27 years of reading the Bible to get my faith where it is today ,you will have to do better , very much better than that if you want to even put a dent in it . Try reading the whole thing with an open mind and heart . If you need any help with that you can come on here and ask any of us any time and we will help you gladly , that's what Christians try to do .
