Romans 9:11

(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to ELECTION might stand, not of works, but OF HIM that calls)

Romans 11:5

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the ELECTION OF GRACE.

Romans 11:7

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the ELECTION hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded ((the Jews))

Romans 11:28

As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

The law so designated by Paul ( Gal. 3:24, 25). As so used, the" "word does not mean teacher, but pedagogue (shortened into the" "modern page), i.e., one who was intrusted with the supervision" "of a family, taking them to and from the school, being" responsible for their safety and manners. Hence the pedagogue was stern and severe in his discipline. Thus the law was a "pedagogue to the Jews, with a view to Christ, i.e., to prepare" for faith in Christ by producing convictions of guilt and "helplessness. The office of the pedagogue ceased when "faith" "came", i.e., the object of that faith, the seed, which is" Christ.

GALATIANS 3

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore THE LAW was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that FAITH is come, we are NO LONGER under a schoolmaster.

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

***28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are ALL ONE in Christ Jesus.***

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and HEIRS according to the promise.

who is reading the bible

Are the days believed to be 24 hour days as we know them or are the days longer periods of time? What support is there for either belief?

Sir, The question was asked a week ago regarding John ch 8 v 58:- when JESUS says : "Before Abraham was, I AM".

This verse is usually brought up when discussing the trinity doctrine.......but that is because the text is misunderstood...... NOT of its context....but of the speaker of it !!! ( John ch 1 is also misunderstood.)

This pure lack of Biblical knowledge ( Amos ch 8 vs 11-12 ?? ) has confused - and deflected church teaching through out the world.

The Bible is clear....JESUS is NOT claiming to be the "I AM " And the explanation is given in Deuteronomy ch 18 vs 15, 18 and verse 19 : (or John ch 1 v 18 JESUS will "DECLARE" the FATHER) which simply state that GOD will send His "Chosen One" (My Elect.) Is. ch 42 v 1 chosen from "amongst thee" ie. "of THY brethren" ACTS ch 2 v 22 says:- "Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN approved of GOD " -- who would speak GOD's WORDS ..! JESUS agrees/admits this in eg John ch 12 vs 49-50 and in John ch 14 and John ch 17 !!!!

JESUS SPEAKS FOR HIS FATHER, ALMIGHTY GOD....who begot JESUS. So much for a trinity ..( man's invention !!!) GOD IS "ONE" !!!! CREATOR ALONE ! ( even church creeds get that bit right !! ) rodd.

Sir, Who does the Bible say is ISRAEL ? The wide world church seems to claim that Jews are ISRAEL. Then we must ask who the JEWS are ! In John ch 8 JESUS Himself reveals the answer to us.....which does NOT agree with church thinking !!

So I ask:- JESUS came for the lost sheep of ISRAEL. The 10 tribes of ISRAEL were exiled to Assyria and never returned. (They are still "lost" - but some do know who and where they are today ! ) The 2 tribes of JUDAH were exiled to Babylon......and returned, found their land ( then renamed JUDAEA) was occupied...so ( whilst some initially aided in the rebuilding of the walls and Temple of Jerusalem) the 2 tribes of JUDAH made their home in Galilee....NOT a part of JUDAEA. ( Luke ch 2 v 4 ).

In JESUS' day...that was the status quo.

So, getting near my question ! :- JESUS stayed out of JUDAEA for "fear of the Jews". (John ch 7 v 1 ) They could not be Israelites as all 12 tribes were accounted for and JESUS did not find them. Matt ch 10 ! So ...who were the JEWS? The Jews know ! AND JESUS reveals the answer to us !...but the churches teach that they were ISRAEL !! The JEWS said in Matt ch 27 v 25 :- "His blood be on us and on our children." To say, therefore, ...as churches do say...that JESUS was a Jew CANNOT and IS NOT right !! What say you ?

(JESUS, ((during His ministry ))- despite what preachers surmise, - is recorded as only entering JUDAEA on 4 occasions...each at Passover time. His teaching was almost all done in Galilee. )

It seems to me that "truth" is very absent in the church...indeed, in the world !!!

This is a sensitive subject, I hope it will be treated as such, thank you. rodd.

I'm researching the Apocrypha in the 1611 KJV - will any of these books ever return to the KJV?

WHEN did Ecclesiastes become Ecclesiasticus? When I compare what I'm reading from my bible which is the king James, and reading what's on this sight. It says Nothing not even a word compared to Ecclesiasticus. What Bible are you getting this from?

I love reading the word of god and searching out / for various scriptures that ties in with what is happening in this present world. i'm curious as to whatever happened to eve, i know that adam had multiple children and died, however, the bible speaks very little of eve. is there any recorded history on / of what happened to her? did she out live adam or did she die before adam died?

In Matthew Jesus said as in the days of Noah so shall it be when He comes. Does that mean the nephlem will be here? With the government saying that there are UFOs could the antichrist be a nephlem? Rev. 13 says who is like the beast?

Question: In 1 Peter 1-21, who specifically is "God" that raised Christ? Is it a.) the Father, or b.) the Holy Spirit, or c.) Christ himself, or d.) some combination of the Trinity?

God bless you and all on this site.

Thanks you for the clarification.

Can anyone shed light on Hebrews 4:11, where Paul says, "Let us labor, therefore to enter into that rest" how to labor in this way, without falling into "works consciousness." Is it us laboring? or God laboring in us? Is God's laboring felt or known by human faculties? Thank you.

How can we view, or highlight, more than one verse at a time if your trying to memorize them and want to see those verses at the top of the page?

Thinking about the mark of the beast.....I don't have any solid answers , just my thoughts . I'm a very practical person and I look for the logic if there is any . Why our hands OR not and , foreheads ? Look outside at people passing . The only flesh you can see on most , not all but most people are their hands and faces . They don't usually get covered in clothes except maybe in winter but gloves hats and scarves are easily removed if need be . I have 5 beautiful stepdaughters , there's nooooo way they would get any kind of permenant mark on their faces and I know plenty of slightly vain men who wouldn't want their looks spoiling either . My guess is the mark will be on the hand unless you are unfortunate enough to have no hands and then it will be in the head , if you have no head then.....you won't need the mark . Its in those places because it needs to be very easily and quickly accessed , maybe so it can be scanned , like a bar code in a shop . Just my thoughts .

I have bought a piece of property with walls and a roof. For a more than fair price! Now, I have found out the walls within are rotted, much like the conscience of man.

Knowing somethings are wrong and we still move ahead! Is this not in all of man ,if only because of His very nature! We hide behind walls, rotten within, in hopes that we may find an excuse one day!

Such is the condition of the world, Man is born into it! Removing the rot it must do! They will stand and watch, asking how these things can be? How can this condition exist?

This condition can only be removed by the one who has created you. He will finish the work! Then you will see, the Majesty found in Him. That u shall have peace! having been cleansed, through His blood on the cross! Repent and be baptized

Hi.

Where do I find the comments/discussions on this Coronavirus. Mark of the Beast ?

Thank You

What is the function of angels and especially in Revelation?

Ever wonder why so many different "beliefs, religions, doctrines, ect."?, when we have only 1 Bible( the written word of God by Holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Ghost) 2 Peter 1: 20-21( prophesies is another word for scripture ) for the christian believers? It's not what we have left "left in"the Bible or scriptures, it's what we have "taken out" and based our opinion, belief, doctrine, ect., we take the scripture out of its context, or we say:" the Old Test.is not for us today, some even say well that was for the early church ( the book of Acts), and yet go 1 book further or 2 and base our salvation on those scriptures. Folks if we are going to pick and choose what we want then the Cross is none effective, as a matter of fact none of it is effective. I apologize up front for using this analogy, but it like being prescribed an antibiotic and only taking 1 of the 30 pills in that prescription, any Doc. will tell you to follow through, don't stop at 1. My friends that is what our Great Physician told us through his example of the death on the cross, his burial in the grave and his resurrection out of that grave and ascention into heaven. For us to die out in repentance, be buried with him in baptism, and be filled with his Spirit from on high, and live an overcoming life. Don't just stop at 1. With much Love for His Word, and my Brethren and Sister's in Christ, God Bless.

"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days."

What exactly does this mean? What is the daily sacrifice?

Are there Prophets in the New Testament Church? As I understand we no longer need them. As a born again Christian you should go out and tell others anyway.

To Rosie on Proverbs 6:1

We should always consult God before making any decisions, and I have found that the questioning of our choice is 9 times out of 10, a clear indication that we did not follow The Holy Spirit. Our doubt never comes from God...In God we are BOLD....and know clearly that it is of GOD. God also tells us to put our faith in no man...Only in God...So when one pays for something/anything sight unseen...where are you putting your faith? In words? Man's Words? And again I want to point out....obviously you, yourself are questioning your decision? Correct? I say pay HARD!! And remember in WHOM we are to trust!

The enemy is not only against us, He is His own worse enemy!

His demise already determined, while we wait and ponder these things , we do not wish too know His end, for it will be headlong into hell for eternity! The darkness in his heart , is the same beam in His eye! He cannot remove it, even while he tries too succor us that wait on the Lord!

Oh dear soul, Fear not ! Your redemption draws nigh!

This one who comes, comes with fire in His eyes, Reaping even where He has not sown! Riding so valiantly, His name written forever! The redeemer!

Where will you be?

Will you be at the door, waiting with your lantern full, ready to meet Him? Or , will you be asking for more from those who you thought were yours? These who you wished would help you, will be gone when you return!

For the doors shall be closed and they will be gone! Repent and be baptized, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Is babylon considered the united states? i have heard this and to me

it does seem like we are the babylon. i'm a catholic and we were never taught to actually read the bible.

i have many christian friends that feel we have been deceived and that the vaccines are the mark.... that the filth, ( pornography...child trafficking, the satanic rituals) and ungodly behaviour...(proven from eyewitnesses whistleblowers ) by our world leaders participating ( yes, in us, rome etc )

has been allowed by us... with no challenge... we have with our apathy and .. acquiesced, and as a result, have ignored these worldly evils, thus god and the angels are angry...our destiny will be god's rath...... our beautiful world has ... been dominated by the evil one...the devil.. i pray for the world

are we the us babylon?

thank you,

Christ blood covers a multitude of sins: so why the thorn in the flesh, not considered covered as well; instead of holding any individual intresidant or accountable, until they meet face to face??? Where is the "Mercy Rule" to takeover; literally???
