Why there are people who refused to received the mark of the beast? It is because they just followed on what stated in revelation 18:4, thus; they were no longer involved or connected in any religious,political,and commercial organizations who imposes systems that manipulated and exploited humankind.Why they followed revelation 18:4? It is because almighty god shows mercy on them.( romans 9;15,16,18) and he wrotes to them his laws on their heart and mind ( hebrews 8:10,11) and he separated them from those who have mark of the beast ( romans 11:4).

Who can help me find a scripture? I am paraphrasing the event. There was a prophet or Levite that took up a sword to execute God's judgment. He neither recognized/distinguished his father, mother, sister or brother. Where is this passage found?

What is the most commonly held interpretation of Romans 11: 25-26?

Thank you.

Hi Rick.

Division between non believers is expected, That's what truth does,

Matthew 10:34-37.Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

But amongst the Brothern you're bonded together by Love, It's the spirit that causes this, "By this WE KNOW that he's in us and we in him, When one hates the Brothern, then the spirit is not in him, and if you have not the Spirit of Christ then you are none of his. There are people that claims to be Christian that absolutely "HATES" people who don't hold there views.

And that's because they're void of the spirit that produces this precious fruit.

1 John 4:20-21. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God ( LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO.) "Do you notice it don't say "SHOULD" love his brother? No. It says Love his brother. this is equity! Not a command but a reaction CAUSED by the Spirit.

Perhaps by this "HATE" you can tell who's on the wrong side of the argument.

God bless.

Why did Jesus say tell no man what had been done. Luke 8:56

Does this chapter also hint of the judgements in the Book of Revelation?

WHY DO YOU.......gamble . When I was a child my grandad used to bet on the horses . He only ever bet pennies , literally pennies . Which also meant that if he ever won he only ever won pennies ! I asked him about it and he said he only gambled to make the race a bit more exciting for himself . I understand that . So , if you are a Christian and you only gamble for a bit of excitement does that mean that when you win you give all your winnings to a charity ? I know a few Christians who gamble , it's not really any of my business so I keep quiet . However , I can't help wondering why ? Proverbs ch30 v7-9 . I have to wonder if these Christians have read that . Or Luke ch12 v13-34 . Have they read that ? Phillipians ch4 v11 ? Hebrews Ch 13 v5 ? . I don't understand how any one can read the Bible and be in any doubt at all about what God and Jesus think of money and how They expect us to behave with regard to money . I used to love roulette . I would never do the lottery because I am genuinely afraid of what would happen to me if I won . What would I spend all that money on ? Necessaries ? Or luxuries ? Things I really need to exist ? Or stuff that I just want because I like it . Money changes lives . A local lottery winner here bought his teenage son a quad bike . This young man is in a coma because he crashed . His dad is distraught and feels responsible . Money changes your life and the way people behave towards you . If you are suffering a genuine need pray to God for help , ask your church or your family , get another job , cut back in some way , don't gamble . Trust in the Lord with all thy heart and lean not unto thine own understanding . He will help you .

Romans 10 was written for those Jews who were still struggling "under the law". For there was a righteousness obtained thru the law but that law ended with Christ (vs. 4) Then the writer distinguishes our righteousness(which is as filthy rags Is. 64:6) and the righteousness that Christ gives you if you believe on him and that righteousness is faith(vs 6). Vs. 7-8 he asking do you(Jews first) believe in the authority of Jesus Christ to be able to rise from the grave. Vs. 9 is a continuation of the prior verses on believing the power of Christ it ends with:..."thou shalt be saved." it is a confession of the prior scriptures, not you ARE saved. Verses 10-13 are a reiteration of all the prior scriptures, ending with "made UNTO salvation, shall not be ashamed,(of who he is) all that call upon him, shall be saved yes that is true but that isn't all we need to do. Lets look at the REST of the chapter. Verses 14-16 talks about how can one call on Jesus unless they first believe,(TRUE) how can the believe unless they hear?(TRUE), how can they hear unless they are preached to?... and this is where it gets STICKY. What do I need to hear? and why would we need a preacher if all I need to do is Believe? Well the next few verses answers those questions(15-18) and right in the middle there(vs.16) he says an interesting thing: "but they have not all OBEYED the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report. Now he puts obedience and believing in the same verse....why? he answers that in vs.17 "so then faith cometh(keeps on coming) by hearing"....see we don't stop at just believing(I can believe all my life that I can cross the Grand Canyon standing in front of a bridge that will take me to the other side but if I don't take that first step UPON that bridge I will never get there) you see BELIEVING is the BEGINING, FAITH is EVERY step after that. "Faith without works is dead" James 2:20. I'm out of space PLEASE READ REST OF Chapter. God Bless.

Where is the "sinners prayer" found? How do I know(or anyone else) when I'm born again of God's Spirit? Legit questions, I want to know. If salvation (from Hell) is not a "reward" than what is it? I don't think anyone is "saved or sealed" and do anything you want to, there are to many examples in God's word. Just ask Satan, he was there(heaven) and was cast out! because of pride, and making himself liken unto God, there is only one Person who can Promise all things and Guarantee ALL things and that is God. The Word tells us to be faithful, to watch, to do, to sow, to reap, ect., but is not until we stand before Him (in heaven) when He says: "well DONE my faithful servant" We are promised the Holy Ghost (with the evidence of speaking in tongues) but there is a stipulation that comes with it, we have to live an overcoming life, "walk in that spirit", "do mind the things of the spirit", "submit yourselves to a Higher Power", "die daily", "there is a war in our members", these are quotes found in scripture all thru the New Test. from a man who thought he was doing the right thing(and was as far as the Jewish law was concerned) but had an CONVERSION but still wrote those words. What makes me any different? I want to know. In Christ. With Love.

This chapter doesnt specify what Babylon sin is for God to want to destroy them.

Thank you DAISY for clarifying this on the discussion forum. Maybe next chapters will disclose this?

LUKE 6

35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: FORGIVE, and ye shall be forgiven

LUKE 18: 9-14

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. [a sinner]

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, GOD, BE MERCIFUL TO ME A SINNER.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

[Do we ever consider how blessed we are that THE ELECTION PASSED TO THE GENTILES??

Have we ever considered the Jews who lived and died throughout the Holocaust? "Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem" is not a plea. It's a strong request by The Lord.

I read a prophesy by Arthur E Bloomfield, who said that the United States would do something so heinous that the Entire World would Turn Against Us. (Back in the 70's). We're here. It's happening. Our soldiers have been betrayed. The world views us as WEAK; from the White House, all the way down.

WHO WILL RISE UP TO DEFEND OUR FLAG, OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR BILL OF RIGHTS ??!!

VOTE & MAKE SURE IT GETS COUNTED THIS NEXT TIME.

They didn't teach that in High School did they?

He never sleeps, who watches over Israel.

How can i keep my faith strong

what is gambling?

is gambling a sin?



what is a mortgages loan?

is a mortgages, is it a form of gambling?

gambling is a risk to get rich or lost it?

to me a mortgages loan is also a risk, because if you are no longer able to pay, you also lost it?

so what is the difference between the two in the bible?

What do someone do if they are possessed by bad spirits?

Acts 2:38 is plain and solid Truth!

The steps we need to start our Faith journey with our Lord!

As believers and followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, striving to live a Holy life!

I've searched the Holy Scriptures and there's no so called sinners prayer. Why is it still being taught?

To know what is in the Bible

who was Joesph's father?

Would God considered Nastrodomuos prediction coming from him lies and considered him evil?

If you have made many mistakes .. would god forgive you. if you cant forgive yourself...

Is daughter of Egypt suppose to mean something? Like the holy people left that dwell in Egypt?

Glenn said: "The falling away, simply means people have fallen in to the deception of the anti- Christ ,.. an that will certainly be one of his messages, " I've come to rapture you away " !!! So yes , being careful is so very correct,.."

The man of sin, son of perdition HAS NOT "been revealed" yet, so this is Impossible! "The falling away" is simply "THE Departure" to meet CHRIST in the air, that Paul has Already Taught In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 2 Thessalonians 2:1, and 1 Corinthians 15:51-57.

The DOUBLE "deception" is AFTER "THE Departure FIRST," And:

2Th 2:8 "...THEN shall that Wicked BE REVEALED, whom The LORD Shall Consume with The Spirit Of HIS Mouth, and Shall Destroy with The Brightness Of HIS Coming:

2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not The Love Of The Truth, that they might be saved.

2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them Strong Delusion, that they should believe a lie:

2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not The Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

So, yes I agree: being careful/PRAYERFUL in 'study' is so very correct!

Praise HIM, Who Is Coming for our Wonderful Departure To GloryLand! Amen?

Precious Rick: "sorry was not following conversation correctly...5 called saul "out, vs 6 saul trembling the word is tremo absolute terror, this guy went from no fear bold as brass to absolute terror because his head says whats going on but still says what do you want me to do. No where in that whole conversion did the lord beat/condemn him, why because he was doing it out of ignorance." It's ok:

So, in "that whole conversion" you say Paul "was NOT Saved" Until later, when "Ananias laid hands on him, and he was healed physically and was baptized spiritually"?

1) I believe he was saved/converted, and had the "INDWELLING Holy Spirit, BAPTIZED as the FIRST member" {our 'pattern' ( 1 Timothy 1:16) for God's NEW Dispensation Of GRACE!}, And Today's Body Of CHRIST, ON the road {church Birthday!}, By JESUS' Pure MERCY, because that's where he proclaimed: "LORD, what wilt thou have me to do?" ( Acts 9:6).

We do know THIS Scripture: "Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by The Spirit of God calleth JESUS accursed: and that no man can say that JESUS Is The LORD, but 'BY' The Holy Ghost." ( 1 Corinthians 12:3), Correct?

Thus, IF Paul DID NOT have The Holy Spirit, THEN he would NOT have said: "LORD," Correct?

2) Now, about Ananias {a "devout man according To The LAW!" Acts 22:12}, this could NOT have been the salvation/conversion above, and The ONE Baptism 'BY' The Holy Spirit, because when he "laid hands {NOT our 'pattern'} on Saul," he "received The FILLING of The Spirit, the SAME as The Twelve apostles received, CHRIST Baptizing them 'WITH' The Holy Spirit, For "power, signs, and wonders," Which Were In Effect, "Confirming The Word," UNTIL The Scriptures Were Completed. This was done by Paul, "fulfilling/Completing" The Scriptures With Romans-Philemon = God's Revelation Of The MYSTERY! ( Colossians 1:25-26).

3) Thus, ALL the THIRTEEN apostles had this power to CONFIRM CHRIST's Messages In Which LAW Disappeared as GRACE Came to be IN FULL EFFECT! Amen?

September is when a lot of COVID-19 relief expires.

By the end of this month, millions of Americans relying on the emergency aid programs to make ends meet will have to do without, as funding for major programs like federal unemployment insurance and subsidized health care for the unemployed runs dry.

So there's a longer story on HUFFPOST dot com about all the unemployment and medical expense benefits being stopped SEPTEMBER 1.

If that's your situation, you should read that story. Hurry, get vaccinated and find a job.

I expected this. This president has made it his mission to rescind and destroy everything the former President did. It feels like he is only a tool of the devil to rain down suffering on people that live here.

What is he giving away to the thousands of refugees flooding into this nation? We need to get back to work before all Our jobs go away to them. It's confusing too. Wall crossers are not vaccinated. Be careful.

Why in the bible are all references to God not capitalized? Sometimes when referring to God the text is "HIM" , and in other text it's simply "him" or "he".

what does plunder in Esther 9: 31?

Sandra King Romans 13 is written within the framework of the church epistles and is talking about people within the church not the government, its talking about church leaders. verse 1 the powers that be ordained of God, verse 4 for he is the minister of God, verse 6 they are Gods ministers.

What ever happened to the Cross that Jesus was crucifer on

BAPTISM : please read , 2nd Kings Ch5 especially Verse 13 and remember how the Old is a foreshadow of the New . Also , Mark Ch16 V16 ,Rom Ch6 , Gal Ch3 V27 . Matt Ch28 V18-20 . If Jesus tells me to do something I'm gonna do it . Anyone who tries to influence another person to not do what Jesus has told me to do , I'm not gonna associate with that person . Why would they do that ? What is their motive ? Discernment , that's what we need . We need to have much more confidence in what the Bible tells us and stop listening to people who say the opposite of what the Bible says .The Bible doesn't ever lead us astray .Follow the words of God , not the words of men who's names are written in the dust of the earth .

Romans 13:1 My work place (Christian) is using this verse to obey the mandate for the COVID vaccine or I loose my job.

Can someone help me, I feel that is misinterpreted. Thanks

Did John the Baptist realize when Jesus came to be Baptized that Jesus was his cousin?
