  • Nathaniel smith on Philippians 2 - 4 years ago
    dont get me wrong however I do feel that if you are to truly fear somone it should be God in every shape and form, it has always been used with the same emotions present. there will always be fear and trembling before God. especially the father. however within this scripture it tells us there is no reason to fear thus giving this a different meaning as he cares for us even tho of his power and his able wrath. the phrase "fear and trembling" has been used many times in the past. truly by all rights he should be the only thing you ever fear in a round about way and should be cautious for all reasons.... for me however I've never had a fear of him other than hurting him or failing him. the pain it makes me personally feel after the fact in my heart and soul hurts more than I could care to compare to anything else. my fear is not what should compell me towards God when he says fear is the opposite of faith....he really means it. you either fear him or have total faith in him basically. if your going to have faith and pray; why worry or fear for any other reason than love for him in which he made you for? fear came upon adam and eve when they ate of sin. the point here is every type of fear you have should be for God. but in this case you have no reason to fear as it would only get in the way, unless it be for our reason for being in the first place. you fear killing that love for him. that in the end is all that should remain. honestly fear should come second to love and faith in him. but if there is any reason to truly fear....it is of God in some shape or form.

    honestly I feel like a message is being missed here by many, so I felt I should shed light upon it. "work out your *own* salvation with fear and trembling" in one way he is saying to focus on yourself exclusively based on your own requirements of what he would expect from us when he is not present. by this time we know morally what we need to do, however he also notes while he is there as well to do the same thing..... this let's me know that his expectations for me may not be the same for *me* as he had for others.... in fact there are many examples of this throughout the bible. one of which being the nazarians. God required of them not to drink of wine, yet the jews were allowed to drink of wine. he also required some never to marry yet would allow others too and to top it off require them to marry the local whore in order to warn the people of a coming catastrophe. he required noah to build a boat and survive a flood and he has never asked me to build a boat. all fine examples of this. further the word for fear I can assure you is not the fear many would think this statement means... I'm sure if you looked up the word for fear when he spoke of in the negative light and the one used in this scripture; you would notice they use different hebrew translations or meaning. I honestly have never really had fear of God. my biggest fear of god is that I will break his heart. how is fear in this sentence being used? to tremble however that is a sighn of anxiousness in deep thought or caution with importance. note tho that there are many expressed fears of God in the bible and its entirety that I could tell. there was fear of punishment, fear of him, a reverent fear of respect, and a fear of failing him. fear of trust in God. it explains that fear is the opposite of faith so this needs to be examined with a fine tooth comb to find all the meaning this scripture could be expressing. for me the meaning is caution, handled with great care to match the value of my love for him.
  • Eric Lopez on 2 Chronicles 28 - 4 years ago
    We've been talking about kings of Judah, but this chapter states Ahaz King of Israel? Don't they mean King of Judah since he reigned in Jerusalem? Even his son Hezekiah on next chapter is King of Judah as he reigned in Jerusalem also. Israel based out of Samaria per my understanding.

  • Donna on Exodus 14 - 4 years ago
    Does the KJV acknowledge two wives for Job? If so, where is the Biblical evidence of this? I have read Jewish commentary that his first wife was *not* the one who bore his ten children. I want to be accurate in a series of Bible challenges I am developing for my church, where the KJV is the only accepted version of the Bible.

    Thanks for your help!
  • Rick Washburn on 1 Samuel 5 - 4 years ago
    I had a thought while reading 1 samual about the Anakim giants in Gath, Gaza , and Ashdod . These giants were mentioned to exist prior to the flood and later the sons of man intermingled with human females. When were these giants finally destroyed and by whom?
  • Tamara on Revelation 7 - 4 years ago
    In Revelation 7:10 it says "salvation to our God" ... I am baffled as to how our God needs salvation? This is really throwing me for a loop . Thanks for any clarification, Tamara
  • Danise Pruitt on Romans 1:31 - 4 years ago
    This goes much deeper than marriage and divorce. These people have no fruit. They have no commitment or love. They make promises, they can't keep. They hate GODs plan and are wanderers like Cain. They were given up on by GOD himself. What an awful thing? No mercy at all. Selfish and self absorbed. If it doesn't benefit them then there's no benefit. A doctor may diagnose them as a narcissist but GOD simply calls them wicked or unrighteousness.
  • E L on Galatians 1 - 4 years ago
    According to the biblical record, Did John the apostle and Paul the apostle ever meet?
  • Eric Lopez on 2 Chronicles 24:16 - 4 years ago
    It's funny how quickly they turn to evil and not hearken to the prophet who warned them. I wonder if it is like if someone would win the lottery and that itself would change the person? Power that changes one?
  • Dan winstead on Matthew 12:2 - 4 years ago
    where is scripture a good man will scarcly make it?
  • Wes aka Yosef on 1 Peter 1 - 4 years ago
    In view of the words of the Psalmist under the influence of God's Holy Spirit, why do Gentiles dare attempt to interpret Scripture and set up seminary schools? Is it not clear they are not qualified to do this work? This work belongs to Israel.

    The next question we are faced with is: "Who is the true Jew?" Why?

    Because Christ told us there are imposters posing as Jews. ( Rev 2:9 & 3:9) This truth imposes upon us the task of identifying the true Jew. Here is a clue for the searchers of truth: Read Deuteronomy 28:15-68 and ask yourself: Who do I know that has gone experienced these 'curses'?

    Yes, the truth is often stranger than fiction...Shalom.
  • Jim on Hebrews 2 - 4 years ago
    HEB. 2:14 says that Jesus destroyed the devil. Is that literal ? Is it the seed of the serpent that we fight against?

  • Patty Tozi on 1 Timothy 3 - 4 years ago
    May 1, 2021. Let everyone that knows the Glory of God, get into the word day to day for His Strength, Protection, and Love. For in these days we will surly need it. As our world goes faster and faster we will be rushing and worrying much. But to sit down and see the best in your life now, is a must to survive what this world of evilness will become. Get into Revelation reading. See each warning He showed us. Remember His promises. Never forget them. For no matter how bad it will get, your Heavenly Father will shine His Light upon you. His Son will come down fast with His Angels when we least expect it. He will fight for His children no matter how we had suffered. No matter how we are in that day, we will forget all the pain and suffering we went through as we see it all unfold as in the Word of the Bible comes clear to us at that moment. So now what do you do till that day comes upon us? You keep the Faith. You do good unto others, but most important you show and tell others that feel hopeless, about our awesome God that Loved us so much, He gave His only begotten Son to suffer and shed His blood for us, to be able in those days to come straight to His Father. Now this l just wrote is an awaking from my Father to write today. For our days are numbered. Do you understand now there is no more putting off. Just go after the Word. Learn, and be ready to be a warrior for our God....
  • Don miller on Matthew 12:2 - 4 years ago
    What did Jesus do after he came out of the grave and he went to the Father did he sprinkle his blood on the mercy seat as he instructed Moses and Arron to do
  • Richard in Christ on Leviticus 13 - 4 years ago
    2 Esdras 2:35-47 Be ready to the reward of the Kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore.

    Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly.

    O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the Heavenly Kingdom.

    Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord;

    Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of the Lord.

    Take thy number, O Sion, and shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord.

    The number of thy children, whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled: beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed.

    I Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great people, whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs.

    And in the midst of them there was a young Man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads He set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marvelled at greatly.

    So I asked the angel, and said, Sir, what are these?

    He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God: now are they crowned, and receive palms.

    Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands?

    So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord.

  • Don on Exodus 14 - 4 years ago
    When Jesus healed people why didn't he want anyone to know?
  • Tim Clifton on Jude 1:4 - 4 years ago
    Whatever "Ordained...." means in Jude 1:4, it has to do with the immutable counsel of God that transcends time and is far above our understanding. For who can know the mind of God, and can any of you be His counselors? If God is willing to put up with vessels of wrath (this is what ordained means) fitted for destruction, who alive can ask Him why, or have the slightest hope of understanding His ways. Is He fair? You'd better hope not: the cross proves that. Is He love? He is love, and a love that fits perfectly with His holiness, that would instantly slay us all in hell if it wasn't for a love that knows no human bounds. So what does it mean when He says, 'as many as were ordained to eternal life believed', or 'you don't believe because you are not my sheep'? It's certainly NOT because there is any goodness in us that He saw outside of time. No, no, it remains in His unknowable counsel that is both outside of time and our understanding. Your job and duty is to fall before Him in fear and honor, and give Him every breath you will ever breath in this life, for who can know His unsearchable mind?

    Why not all people come to salvation today

    john 12:37-40 therefore they could not believe, because esaias (god's words on his tongue) saith .....

    luke 22:67 art thou the christ? tell us. and he said (god's word's) unto them, if i tell you, ye will not believe.

    these words came out of god's mouth and god said his words would not return unto him void.

    isaiah 55:11

    philippians 1:9 for unto you it is given in the behalf of christ, not only to believe on him ....

    no one can believe unless god's causes them to believe.

    john 6:29 .....this is the work of god, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent....

    2 thessalonians 2:11 and for this cause (unbelief) god shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.

    2 timothy 2:13 if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

    luke 3:13 ... exact no more than that which is appointed to you.

    jeremiah 46:17 ....pharaoh king of egypt, is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.

    psalms 102:20 to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those appointed to death.

    job 23 :14 for he performeth the thing that is appointed for me.....

    1 peter 2:8 a stone of stumbling, a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient, whereunto they were also appointed.

    there but by the grace of god, go i.

  • Sandra O39Shea on Hosea 3:5 - 4 years ago
    Kelsey Gonzalez, I am also married, and when I find myself in situations like this, and when I converse or try to have him see another way, If it is making the situation worse. We are to remember that God loves us both, you and your husband. So to try and turn this around for help who should we go to? also How? Well someone who was teaching and guiding me in the recent past and past mentioned to me that God is the best counselor,so if we "ask" God to intervene in a specific way for us instead of more approaching ourselves , he can step in and help. God does say ask and you will receive. In his time of course. You do not have to explain the situation to God, for he already knows the situation and you do not want to come across as judging because he loves you both. I cannot speak for anyone else, but I know looking back on this has really helped us as individuals or as a couple. I truly hope this helps you. God Bless, and blessings to you both as individuals, and as a couple. Have a great day! :)
