    Ruth,

    Amen, the Lord is good!
  • Jesse - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Amen Chris,

    We were bought with a price. You are oh so correct in that we cannot know another person's heart. Sometimes I think we can't even know our own. But God knows. He knows our hearts better than we do. And yes, we should readily accept those who profess Christ as being part of our family. We are to love them. It's not about being in agreement with each other on what the scriptures say. It's about knowing that we are brothers and sisters in Christ and we are all part of His body. I don't believe we are to love one another because the bible tells us to, or out of a sense of obligation. We love one another because God's Spirit living in us gives us that type of love. I get excited when I come across someone who professes Christ, but at the same I am cautious. I think that as believers, we are to judge one another. Not for salvation, because like you say, only God knows a person's heart and true state. But we as believers are to be "fruit inspectors."

    As far as the encouragement and warnings given to us, I would agree on the latter part of your statement. Thank you so much my brother in Christ Jesus for your words and for the encouragement you bring to all of us. Your knowledge and understanding of scripture is something to be strived for, and yet, we're to be satisfied with whatever the Lord gives us!

    The last seven years of the current Devil's world according the Word of GOD

    Revelation 1

    1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ,

    which God gave unto him,

    to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass;

    and he sent and signified it by his angel

    unto his servant John:

    Revelation 11:v.1-2

    1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying,

    Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

    2 But the COURT which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not;

    for it is given unto the GENTILES:

    and the holy city-JERUSALEM-shall they tread under foot forty and two months.(HALF OF WEEK-1.260 days)

    Revelation 13:v.1 and 5 and 2

    1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a (MAN) Beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon HIS horns ten crowns, and upon HIS heads the name of blasphemy. (What's name?)

    5 And there was given unto him(unto the MAN Beast of sea)a MOUTH speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.(IN FULFILMENT OF REV. 11:v.2-HALF OF WEEK)

    2 ... and the Dragon gave him(to the MAN Beast of sea) his Power, and his Seat(his Throne), and great Authority.(According this verse the MAN Beast of sea will sit on the Throne of the MAN Dragon-Rev.13:v.11 in the Holy City

    which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,where also our Lord was crucified).

    That said, there will be TWO powerful MAN Beasts in near future exactly in the beginning of the first half of the last seven years of the Devil's world, or 1.260 days.(I'm sure this terrible and satanic event will happen in this current decade-2020-2030), thus, as soon as the first half of the last seven years of the Devil's world ends, the worst of all events will happen after the death of JESUS on the cross, which is the beginning of the establishment of the Abomination of Desolation in the second half. Daniel 12:v.11-12 + Matt.24:15

    Quoted : Who Is The Word of God - in Reply on Genesis 1

    Who Is The Word of God - in Reply on Genesis 1

    It is Jesus's name at the beginning of Genesis. He had not been born through Mary yet.

    He is the 2nd person of the Godhead, Romans chapter 1. Father, Son, Holy Spirit

    John chapter 1

    1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    2 The same was in the beginning with God.

    3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

    4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

    I share this true interpretation of God's Word in His creation

    MISHAEL

    Greetings in Christ JESUS

    The Word is GOD.

    Remember 1 Corinthians 2:v.9 to 16:

    9 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.

    10 But GOD hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of GOD.

    11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of GOD knoweth no man, but the Spirit of GOD.

    12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of GOD.

    13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit (who is not a ghost as is written in English language, but a person as JESUS is a person too) teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

    14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of GOD: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

    15 But he that is spiritual Judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

    16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? but we have the mind of Christ.

    Greetings in Christ JESUS,

    THE WORD IS GOD. If the expression "beginning" in the GOD's Plan of restoration of all things- Acts 3:v.18to26 combined with Genesis 1- is a mere ''verb", it would be an insignificant detail, but if we saay "In JESUS God created heavens and the earth" , this revelation bring us a wonderful vision about our Lord JESUS Christ as is revealed to John 1:v.1-3 and Hebrews 1:v.1-4 and 10-13:

    Hebrews 1:1 to 3

    1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

    2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son - JESUS - , whom He -GOD the Father- hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;

    3 Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

    By the way, in my vision, GOD could not revealed the name of JESUS before the fourth Day when the Word would be made flesh, but in fact JESUS was the beginning of all things, so Moses wrote "in the beginning" instead in JESUS God created heavens (four heavens) and earth-the clay-the dry land. Great GOD mysteries - Colossians 2:v.1-3: - 1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 - That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 - In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

  • Loved Ones Who39ve Died and May have not been saved - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hebrews chapter 9

    27 And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE but after this the judgment:

    28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

    This is speaking of the Christian dead. (Wherever their bodies ceased to be alive. For the Christian, Christ follower; their flesh/bone remains on the earth, awaiting the moment of the Rapture.

    Their spirits have already returned to God in heaven.

    The non-Christian dead, remain where they died. Their bodies had been flesh and soul. Because they did not receive Jesus as their Lord; their spirits were not alive to God. They await the Great White Throne Judgment of the wicked dead.

    In the story of Lazarus the beggar, a rich man awaiting the judgment begged for water because of the flames, but Lazarus could not cross the gulf of distance.

    The rich man (died wicked dead) begged again, that Lazarus would go witness Christ to his family members, yet alive. But Lazarus could not cross the gulf. People in hell...pray; they feel, they thirst; they can see.

    They would tell you to rescue their still unsaved loved ones.

    We can all witness now to our alive, but unsaved family members or close friends. It's up to us. We may be their only contact to hear that there is hope and rest in Jesus. Eternal life in heaven.

    I grieved for my unsaved friends and relatives. We all do. Regret is hard to swallow.

    Instead of becoming bitter at God and Jesus, remember the manner of death Jesus had to die, so we could be born again.

    We need to think on this exchange between Lazarus and the rich man; and not stay silent any longer. Be at peace.

    LUKE 16: 19-31

    Joyce,

    You know what gets you into heaven?

    Saying a prayer every Wednesday at 4 PM when the church bells ring.
  • Sam - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Mishael,

    To be born again means to be resurrected into perfection.

    It doesn't mean someone who found God and puts away sin. "Saved" maybe, cognizant of your shortcomings, but not born again.

    Show me someone who says they're born again, and I'll show you someone who's been mislead.

    Regarding cremation, doesn't the Bible consider it a Heathen practice and caution against it?
  • Sam - In Reply - 4 years ago
    What Catholics call "the trinity", Bible readers call it "the Godhead". The Father, son and Holy Ghost.
  • Wading in Deep with God - In Reply - 4 years ago
    In original language it says: In Beginning.

    The first thing God created is TIME.

    We know the earth is billions of years old by artifacts, etc. We have to accept the fact that the Bible is about Jesus Christ. God did not choose to write a Book about Earths formation.

    I believe He meant for us to discover a truth: that SOMEONE made all of this. Read Romans 1

    Time was created. For mankind; and times and seasons. Read Psalms 33:6-9; Jeremiah 4:23; Isaiah 24:1, 40:12. Job 38 is helpful too.

    You are going to enjoy studying so much more if you'll get a study Bible, with CENTER COLUMN references (center of each page); with study helps like concordance, maps, lists. I saw some on Amazon the other day on sale. King James Version. :D

    Always, always ask the Holy Spirit to Teach you what you are studying. That is Him in Genesis 1:2

    He was awaiting Gods purpose, and the Word of God (Jesus) to speak forth.

    You have to be born again, Baptized into the Holy Spirit; to be taught Bible personally by Him.

    Jesus went through the Cross also, to give us the indwelling Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. Jesus said, unless I go away he (Holy Spirit) Comforter, Teacher, Convictor of sins, cannot come. He's as real as the nose on your face. study HIs Gifts. You can ask for the best gift. He knows exactly what you need.

    I have a really special reveal on the Holy Spirit: He sings. I sing to Him and it probably hurts His ears, so we sing together. Why do we not enter into His presence and just listen to Him?

    This comment room would be on fire if we would believe what Jesus told us about the Comforter. I know why Paul thought it better to go to heaven, but he suffered to stay here so we could grow up strong in Jesus Christ.

    Stop looking at this world that is dying, and turn your eyes upon Jesus! He loves us and wants us to be with Him always. Learn the Knowledge of the Holy. That's a scripture.

  • THE GODHEAD SCRIPTURES - In Reply - 4 years ago
    The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

    Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

    Isaiah 6:8

    Romans 1:20

    Colossians 2:9

    Acts 17:27-30

    1 John 5:7

    John 10:30

    "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

    Genesis 1:1

    The Father purposes

    The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

    The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

    May I suggest you scribble those down on the back pages of your Bible? It comes up a lot.

    There may be more...
  • Heaven Awaits Us - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Go back out to the Red Link page and look for the link that says, Become A Christian. It explains everything.

    There are numerous scriptures on death of a child; or even a child that dies in the womb.

    Your child awaits you in heaven. You have to be born again for the right reasons, ok? Our desire must be to belong to Jesus eternally.

    You can live the rest of your life with joyful expectation of the day you meet your Lord and Savior....holding your sons hand in his.

    Rejoice. Ecclesiastes 3

    I lost a child too. Mishael
  • Why Be Baptised - In Reply - 4 years ago
    To be saved, we must believe that Jesus is Lord and believe that He died for our sins. This confession acknowledges before God that we are unable to attain righteousness on our own and that we accept His plan for our lives.

    "...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved..." Acts 16:31

    "Yet to all who receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12

    "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38

    "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" Luke 5:32

    "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

    There's a link on the red page: "Become A Christian", that explains the whole process.

    For me: Jesus submitted to be baptized in water by John the Baptist. He was fulfilling a prophesy.

    Baptism is simply us following Jesus as his disciple in a simple act of obedience.

    It never occurred to me to dispute water baptism. It truly was desiring to leave my old life and rise up in the new life.
  • Mishael - In Reply on John 1 - 4 years ago
    What is in John 3 is what Jesus told Nicodemus: you must be born again.

    Receive the Holy Spirit.

    There's a link on the red page that says: Become A Christian, that is useful to understand the whole process
  • Who Is The Word of God - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 4 years ago
    It is Jesus's name at the beginning of Genesis. He had not been born through Mary yet.

    He is the 2nd person of the Godhead, Romans chapter 1. Father, Son, Holy Spirit

    John chapter 1

    1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    2 The same was in the beginning with God.

    3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

    4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

  • Johnny A eudy - In Reply on John 1 - 4 years ago
    Baptism by water does not get you to heaven. Jesus Christ himself was baptised, But he was and still is the son of God.

    Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. This means that you Believe and confess that you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that Jesus died on the cross, shed his own blood for the forgiveness of our sins, always and forever.

    While hanging on the cross, Jesus said "It it finished". He was saying this has been done for you. so that you may have eternal life with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Heaven. Water doesnt save, but Jesus blood has and did.

    thanks and God bless.
  • Devon - In Reply - 4 years ago
    The Woman clothed with the sun is most likely the Holy Spirit and Gods protection around the Israelites and the Women having the Serpeant chasing her heel and her crushing his head in providing us with Jesus is possibly a reflection of the moon being under her feet in fact when the Jews were persecuted in the time of Tribulation it was by a moon worshipping people. The Tribulation started when then abomination stood in their holy Temple and stopped the daily sacrifice or worship in their temple and only Satan wants to stand in Gods place .. I'm just saying. As for end time only the Father knows:) Blessed is he who waits till the 1235 days and that's from about the time of the dome sitting in the Holy place Good Luck to you and look to Him Jesus who sits in the hand of Gods power. Amen
