Please check back in an hour or more. Thank you for your patience!
Seems they like to blow their own horn .
if so then many could be deceived and not know it .
This is the sin against the Holy Ghost! Thank you Father for this web site, and those who maintain it. Free as it is, even as the liberty we have in you , free as the wind and the spirit that it rides on. Liberty, freedom too love you , even as you have us! May the power of the holy spirit rest upon all those who trust in his word! In the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost!
However, the foundation of true wisdom, lies in the fear of the Lord. When you fear Him, you would be more God-conscious than sin-conscious. Joseph asserts that shall I do this great wickedness and sin against God? That was a statement from a man who feared the Lord.
And it does not stop there. This verse also stated that GOOD UNDERSTANDING HAVE ALL THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDS. What a deep phrase! There's good understanding and there is bad understanding. One brings favor, while the other leads to hardship.
May God help us live in the reality and consciousness of this truth in the name of Jesus.
This verse seems to explain what we're seeing currently in culture, in media, and even on this website.
People don't love the truth, but are more attracted to the lie. The lies become their idol which they serve. They willingly embrace the delusion. How does anyone know if they are believing a lie or not?
The truth isn't afraid of analysis, but lies are. Can you think of any subjects today that are being censored, silenced, 'discredited' through paid-for 'studies'? I can think of many.
Examples:
Death statistics aren't to be questioned whatsoever. They are concealed and only released after they have been 'processed', is there something to hide? VAERS injuries and deaths from all other experimental vaccines have been thoroughly investigated and products pulled after only 5 deaths or so, but something that has thousands to potentially millions of deaths shouldn't be analyzed?
Election fraud- certain groups don't want this investigated and deny any/all reports of cheating. But wouldn't investigating only build confidence in the integrity of the election with no downside, or are they afraid of what might be discovered?
People on this forum lately seem to be denying Jesus and making up stories to discredit Him. It's fascinating that someone is interested in Christianity enough to read the Bible, but just can't quite submit to its full truth and agree with its verses like John 1:1. Some seem quite uncomfortable with this and quietly deny it without any rational explanation. Some prefer to believe man's opinion instead of God's. Dangerous lies are being spread and it seems to tie back to this delusion the Word talks about. We must pray and seek God and ask for wisdom. Those who merely come on to spread propaganda to achieve a certain outcome instead of caring about the truth will face consequences. God is a fair judge. End times are near. It's time to admit who Jesus is. We must stay on course to the end and not fall away. 2 Peter 2:20-21.
Scriptures reveal angels may take on human form:
+ In Genesis 18:1-8, The LORD and two holy angels visited Abraham and Sarah in the form of "three men" in human bodies. During that visit, these angels conversed and ate with Abraham in the same manner as would human men.
+ Two of these angels in human form proceeded to visit Lot in Sodom ( Gen. 19). While there, the Sodomites mistook these angels as actual human men and attempted to physically sodomize them ( Gen. 19:5).
+ At least two angels appeared as "young men" ( Mk. 16:5) after LORD JESUS' Resurrection wearing "shining garments" (Lu. 24:4).
+ While the disciples strained to see the final glimpses of The LORD's Ascension into Heaven, "two men {? angels?} stood by them in white apparel", and promised CHRIST's Second Coming "in like manner as ye have seen HIM go into Heaven" (Ac. 1:10-11).
Because angels are immortal and not subject to death, they have no need to procreate lawfully through marriage as do humans (cp Mt. 22:30; Mk. 12:25).
Yet, these angels assumed human form and married, co-habitated, and bore children through human "daughters of men" (v.2).
Besides here, the Old Testament uses the expression "the sons of GOD" to identify supernatural angelic beings:
1st, Job 1:6-7 describes "sons of GOD" presenting "themselves before The LORD." Note that "Satan (the supreme demonic angelic principality) came also among them."
2nd, Job 38:7 records JEHOVAH asking Job
"[4] Where wast thou [7] When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of GOD shouted for joy?"
Here, both expressions, "morning stars" and "sons of GOD" identify supernatural angels reacting to GOD's wondrous Creative Power.
The Old Testament does not use this expression to refer to believing saints except for the possible exception of Hosea 1:10: "In the place where it was said unto them (Israel), Ye are not MY people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of The Living GOD." The LORD, through HIS prophet Hosea, prophetically promised Israel a restoration far into the future.
Moreover, the designation "men" translates from the Hebrew noun "adam" (Eng. transliteration; pronounced "aw-DAWM"). Scriptures record the term "adam" (aprox. 529 times) to refer to all mankind (generically), both male and female, as the highest created species of living creatures (e.g. Gen. 1:26): "GOD said, Let US make man (Heb. "adam") in OUR IMAGE, after OUR Likeness."
Therefore, these "daughters of men" are the human female offspring of human fathers and mothers. Certain demonic angels saw these "daughters" as physically attractive ("fair"). Their "fairness" spawned unholy desires within these wanton angels who looked upon them, and desired them as objects solely for fulfilling their lusts.
Consider the following points of argument:
> Seth's male descendants were not all inherently righteous by default, simply because Seth was their forefather.
> From the silence of Scriptures, Bible students cannot assume all of Cain's descendants were evil and rebellious.
> A marriage between the descendant males of Seth and the female descendants of Cain would not automatically guarantee an offspring of giants. If this were true, all "unequally yoked" ( 2Cor. 6:14) parents, if one is an unbeliever while the other is a believer, would produce grotesque hybrid giants.
> If Seth's male offspring were inherently righteous enough to deserve the title "sons of GOD", then this demands answers to many questions:
? Why is Noah solely and singularly described as "a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with GOD" ( Gen. 6:9; cp. 7:1)?
? Why weren't any others of Seth in the Ark besides Noah, a descendant of Seth? Must we assume Noah was Seth's only and final righteous offspring?
? Did their marrying an unbeliever forfeit GOD's Mercy and abandon them to die with the rest of the wicked as The LORD de-creed ( Gen. 6:7)? The LORD would not do so according to HIS Promises to Abraham concerning Lot's safety in Sodom. Six times The LORD promised Abraham, "I will spare all the place for their (the righteous) sakes" (see Gen. 18:26-32).
This theory implies that if Seth's male descendants were truly "sons of GOD", then they all, without exception, had to sin so grievously as to lose this title. So much for the Doctrine of Eternal Security.
> Bible students commit hermeneutical malpractice to assume the "daughters of men (Heb. "adam")" was restricted to the female descendants of Cain. Such interpretation comes from prejudice and bias which The LORD prohibits (cp. Lev. 19:15).
oh and also what is sin?
As with any technology, there are limitations. Here are the rules of how it works.
_________
1. Book & Chapters
Just type a book and a chapter and it will automatically link. It won't link with just a book, or just a chapter, it must be both with a space in between, like this:
Genesis 1
_________
2. Verses
Just type any verse like you normally would and it will automatically hyperlink if your book, chapter, and verses are are correct, such as:
Genesis 1:1
_________
3. Ranges
Just type a hyphen and another verse to link to a verse range. It won't link to chapter ranges, only verse ranges.
Genesis 1:1-3
_________
4. Series
Just type a comma between each individual verse you want to list for a given chapter. Important note: it doesn't allow spaces between the commas and verses. You can list up to 10 verses in a series. For example:
Genesis 1:2,4,7,12,15
_________
Notes:
If the above rules are followed the Bible verse references will be hyperlinked. You may also use commonly used book abbreviations. You may list multiple Bible verse references in a row separated by a space, period, comma, semicolon and they should link properly. Ranges and series can't be combined, however. It's only one or the other per book and chapter reference. For example:
Gen 1:2,4,7,12,15. Gen. 1:2-5. Gen 2:2,4,11. Jn 3:16; Mk 10
If you have any improvement suggestions for this or anything else, we welcome your help.
May God bless you through your Bible reading and Bible discussions!

Ok, done testing -
you may now resume back to Normal :) Hope this helps other? short-cut takers? besides me... :)
God Bless...
Here's a hint:
Revelation 22:12-14
12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Don't believe Jesus will judge you as he states above?
Then believe what Jesus states here in scripture:
Matthew 7:14
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
FEW WILL FIND IT!!!!!!!!
Stay focused on the true WORD!
Matthew 7:15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Man can, and will deceive. If a man's words don't agree with Jesus Christs words/scripture then it is False, discard it!
Stay focused on the WORD.
Luke 11:28
"But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."
The WORD!
God Bless.
"PEACE With God," and knowing what good "tribulation worketh in us" ( Romans 5:1-5)
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." ( Romans 8:18)
The Spirit "helps our infirmities, And Prays For us" ( Romans 8:26)
The Spirit "Intercedes For us, According To The Will Of God" ( Romans 8:27)
God Makes "all things Work Together For Good," for HIS Own ( Romans 8:28)
We are "Predestinated To Be Conformed To The Image Of God's SON" ( Romans 8:29)
God Helps us "bear our testings" ( 1 Corinthians 10:13)
We have The Wonderful "Comfort Of God!" ( 2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a Far More Exceeding and Eternal Weight of Glory" ( 2 Corinthians 4:17)
God will "change our vile body" to be "like HIS Glorious Body!" ( Philippians 3:21) Amen?
Conclusion:
"For our infirmities/sufferings"? Should we not "follow Paul our 'pattern'" ( 1 Ti 1:16)?:
"And HE Said Unto me, My GRACE Is Sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that The Power of CHRIST may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for CHRIST's Sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." ( 2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
{Why do so-called "faith healers" ignore This Excellent Word Of God?}
Amen? And Amen.
Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!
