what kind of tree was the cross Jesus died on made from?

did angles ever leave heaven to mate with humans ?

After Jesus completed what was accomplished on the Cross, and ascended back into Heaven, to sit at the Right Hand of God: the Disciples began to lay the foundation of believers who would trust Jesus to save them eternally.

Later Apostle John would be incarcerated on the Isle of Patmos; where by Jesus would help him write the Book of Revelation. All words and signs have been provided, so that we can understand TODAY is the day of Salvation; provided from the very foundation of this world we live in now.

We evangelize while it is still "daytime", to give the gospel that will save and change the inner man/woman. Our souls have that sense of timing within us.

Those who are perishing, do not have that sense. The "god" of this world has captured and blinded their minds.

That's why Corporate Prayer, in a church is so powerful. They can set captives (to sin) free; to hear the words of salvation.

It is that sense of time running out, that should spur Jesus's true disciples (on earth now), to speak up. Be the louder voice.

A long time ago, I heard a song that inspired me to evangelize. HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING by Darrell Mansfield. It should jolt your spirit, to reach out horizontally to those who perish. Our testimonies of how we came to believe in Jesus: are priceless. Don't be afraid to speak up. Even this Sunday as we celebrate the work of the Cross of Christ. He is the sacrifice slain, so the Jews could Spread The Blood over their doors.

Guys, the Easter Bunny is a child's story. Be strong and tell the real story of what Passover means. May God bless those who do it.

Someone had to die, to mark our homes for life, not death. We only have to tell the story of who it was who died for our sins, and eternal life.

Mishael

The commentary here elaborates once again the prophetic implications of David's Psalm which have implications for the Messiah to come. Verse 10; however clearly implies David only as iniquities causing his ailment are mentioned; some have linked it to a sexually transmitted illness due to his many relations with women (such as veneral disease).

Once again; a hidden place in God's "pavilion" (v. 20) are offered to those saints which fear God (v. 19). The reward in v. 23 for the evil doer once again shows that we reap what we sow. These verses referring to a "strong city" (v. 21) are indicative of the heavenly Jerusalem most likely; and could refer to the Rapture and or Resurrection of the saints.

Verse 5 shows what Christ stated when He died "into thine hands I commit my spirit". ( Luke 23:46). The part of being redeemed is for the rest of the saints; as Christ overcame through His own Divinity. It is finished was stated in John 19:30. This shows that after death He was victorious; and by no means was "suffering in hell" but was proclaiming victory; and setting free the captives ( Eph. 4:8). Also this fits in with the penitent thief being with Him "today" in paradise ( Luke 23:43). Three days later; at the Resurrection many were brought forth from their graves and appeared to many. As to whether they went to heaven as the first of the firstfruits is of some controversy; but no other explanation seems likely. Satan was defeated and the stage was set for the verse "death where is thy sting?" ( 1 Cor. 15:55-57).

Several other verses; particularly verse 13 seem to show the sufferings of Christ. Verse 11 is very similar to those used by Job during his trial.

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me, what is the rod and the staff?

Verse7 what does that mean

when did the last days begin.

One can learn from the intensity and the power of wrong thinking when we do not except Christ. Jesus refers to it as the light. Believe in the light while we have Him. These words compared to nothing less than life here on earth and the life hereafter, called eternity.

He that hates this life, profound as it may seem, are the effects of living in Christ.

Even so we are in the world, doing the will of God, confronting sin in the world.

One may begin to wonder what heaven will be like after leaving this place?

Jesus once again confronting the Pharisees, who did not have far to come, watched Christ having dinner with Lazarus.

So, Jesus takes the opportunity not far from the temple giving the place for Mary to show Her Faith with the anointing of Christ feet, while Her brother looks on! Her brother, this one Jesus clearly raised from the dead after 4 days in the tomb!

The fact that the Pharisees, Simone, and Judas were all there is evidence that Jesus was giving these another chance to believe who He is. This is power, Christ is fearless in the eye's of an unbelieving hateful people ,who only wish to kill Him!

Friend; Mt. 22:12 = In the New Testament, two root words translate into the term "friend". The first, and most often used, is the Greek noun root (pronounced "FEE-los") which speaks of brotherly love (e.g. CHRIST's love for HIS "friend" Lazarus; Jn. 11:11).

But here, "friend" translates from the Greek noun root (transliterated "hetairos"; pronounced "het-ah-EE-ros"). This term speaks of two close associates who are bound by mutual obligations such as in business ventures wherein both must equally trust, confide, and depend upon the other. Such is the use of the term "friend" in this parable as well as that used by the householder when responding to the employee's complaint concerning his wages ( Mt. 20:13):

"But he (the householder) answered one of them, and said, Friend (Greek "hetairos"), I do thee (the employee) no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?"

The king's use of the word "friend" proves highly ironic for this attendee was unconcerned, and possibly even rebellious toward the dress requirement. By blatantly violating such a visible requirement as refusing to wear a "wedding garment", this attendee revealed his lack of cooperation and resistance to other obligations as well (cp. Ps. 55:12-14 & 20-21).

Of note, JESUS addressed Judah Iscariot as "friend" when Judas betrayed HIM ( Mt. 26:50):

"JESUS said unto him (Judas), Friend (Greek "hetairos"), wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on JESUS, and took HIM."

The verse above ( Mt. 26:50) fulfilled the prophecy recorded in Psalm 41:9:

"Yea, MINE own familiar* friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of MY bread, hath lifted up his heel against me."

* Hebrew "shalom" = English "peace".

While Judas was CHRIST's "friend" only through his feigned and hypocritical discipleship, he perfectly fits in the context of a "familiar friend" ( Ps. 41:9) as John 13:18 & 26-27 describes: "I know whom I have chosen:He that eateth bread with ME hath lifted up his heel against ME."

Are the unrighteous in verse 9, talking about unbelievers outside the church?

Thank you

What is the meaning behind Mark 14:50-51What is the Bible saying to me?

Many here have probably seen this before, but for those who haven't here is a riddle:

This riddle was written by a lady in California in 1890 in response to a gentleman in Pennsylvania who said he would pay $1,000.00 to anyone who could write a puzzle he could not solve. He failed to solve this puzzle and paid the lady the $1,000.00, a great sum at that time.

The answer is one word five letters long and appears only four times in the King James version of the bible. An 8 year old boy figured it out, can you?

God made Adam out of the dust,

but thought it best to make me first:

So I was made before the man

According to God's holy plan.

My whole body God made complete,

Without arms or hands or feet.

My ways and acts did God control,

But in my body He placed no soul.

A living being I became

And Adam gave to me a name.

Then from his presence I withdrew,

For this man Adam I never knew.

All my makers laws I do obey,

And from these laws I never stray.

Thousands of me go in fear,

But I seldom on the earth appear.

Later, for a purpose God did see,

He placed a living soul in me;

But that soul of mine God had to claim

And from me took it back again.

And when this soul from me had fled,

I was the same as when first made;

Without arms, legs, feet or soul,

I travel on from pole to pole.

My labors are from day to night,

And to men I once furnished light.

Thousands of people, both young and old,

Did by my death bright lights behold.

No right or wrong can I conceive;

The Bible and it's teachings I can't believe.

The fear of death doesn't trouble me;

Pure happiness I will never see.

Up to heaven I can never go,

Nor in the grave of Hell below.

So get your bible and read with care;

You'll find my name recorded there.

What was Noah s wifes name ? Which son was born first ?

The king could not sleep that night

So he decided to read a book

The book of his legal records

He decided to take a look

He was reminded of the time

When Mordecai reported the plot

The king wanted to know

How he had been thanked for his troth

Nothing had been done

Not yet for this man

The king wanted to reward him

Thank him for his stand

Haman had just arrived

To ask for Mordecai's death

The king asked for Haman's presence

They hadn't spoken just yet

He asked what should I do

To honor a good man

Hey man thought he would get

All that he can

He must be speaking of me

I am the man he upholds

I would give him a royal horse

Put on him a royal robe

I was slowly parade this man

Through the city streets

Proclaiming his royal honor

For all of the people to see

Go do these things at once

You'll leave the horse, yes you

Do all that you recommended

For Mordecai the Jew

Haman robed Mordecai

Led him through the city streets

Proclaiming his honor for all

For all the people to hear and see

Mordecai went back to rest

Sit down at the palace gate

Haman rush home and told his wife

All about his day

She said he must forget

About his malicious plan

Because now the Jew he hated

Was a famed and honored man

Haman was not happy

For he knew what she said was true

How did the tables turn?

Now he must honor the Jew

It's time for Esther's banquet

Where the king wants to hear her voice

Haman had to hurry

To attend he had no choice

(By Esther Coleman-Spells)

I hope you enjoyed the poem for Esther 6.

Could someone tell me which verse states, Remove any obstacles that distract you from seeking or following the lord, the way?

What verse states remove any obstacles, even if it's your wife?

in matthew 6-5 what does they have their reward means?

Years ago I cursed at God and said, "GD you God",while angry about a life circumstance.

Mark 3 talks about blaspheming the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit as being an unpardonable/unforgivable sin. I wanted to make sure I had not committed the unpardonable/unforgivable sin.

I have told Jesus thank you for dying on the cross, I trust your blood payment for my sin as it is pleasing to God, please save me from my sin of curing God. Is what I have done considered calling on the name of the Lord Romans 10:13?

I confessed my sin and 1 John 1:9 says he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin. Does this also include cursing God? I am sincerely sorry I cursed at God.

Sometimes this sin causes me great anxiety as do sinful thoughts. I want to know my name is written in the book of life and that I am headed to heaven to see Jesus when I die.

I know that I am saved by Christ's blood, his payment on the cross, not by works. Eph 2:8-9.

Sometimes I have trouble believing that Jesus will save me, but I cried out to him. Satan probably is lying to me daily to create fear.

Thank you for taking time to respond. I want to be saved and do better at pleasing God/obeying his commandments both new and old testament commandments.

Jeremiah

David would become the shepherd boy who would not be moved by the lion.

Instead, He would sharpen His skills polishing the stones , being ready for the monster who comes with hunger in the night.

David knows that His sheep will not be moved, He knows the fat of the land, He knows this Lion will not have His way.

The sheep watch Him as he practices during the day, for they know that night is coming.

They watch Him when He smiles as he hits the practice target once again.

You see , the grass is so bountiful, the sheep will be happy and will grow abundantly, this is enough for our watchman, who soon will become king! He knows His sheep and they know Him!

Blessed is a nation who has such a king! Blessed is the seed of David, the one who would use the same skill to go against Goliath.

For this Goliath is nothing compared too the Lion!

I see again this one who stands fast against the enemy, only this time he is in the arena of the empire of nations, who will not help Him, but in fact, only watch and wonder if He shall win?

For the nations will not fight against the monster, even if it means they may go hungry , they will not fight for the grasses that will someday feed the sheep! You see, they are not shepherds, they are the ones who come up from another way, they do not care about the sheep!

These empires who watch and wonder can this little one succeed?

Surely, when He does, they will wish they had done more too help Him, for indeed He will have vengeance on all!

Repent and be Baptized

Question meaning of numbers, chapter 14, verse 35? Were the Israelites in the wilderness 40 years or 80years?

were in the Bible tells you about gambling,its a sin

Does anyone know where Jesus went during his 3 days before he rose again.????

Our pastor states at every funeral that when we die we are instantly in Heaven if we are saved. I can not find this in the Bible. My Bible reads that the dead are sleeping and will raise again when Jesus comes back for his own. Where can I find that we are instantly in Heaven when we draw our last breath.

it has been 8 years. Are you still married to Christ? Your words still ringing true even now, this is the truth when it says it, even so now! The word of God never passes away. What can be said now even after 8 years , is that heaven and earth have never been closer to passing away. The truths of Christ attacked like never before!

In 1st Corinthians 11:30 is it a spiritual or physical death can you help me understand this. Thank you and God bless you!

Samuel: was a Seer, Priest, Judge, Prophet and military leader of Israel. Unquestionably a very powerful man of God.

However, there are two passages that mention Samuel the Prophet's ancestry. They are 1 Sa 1:1, and 1 Ch 6:16-29. The latter claims he was a Levite, but the first, at least in all modern translations other than the ESV (and the KJV) states that he was an Ephraimite. What is to be made of this?
