The 3 eagle heads are they 3 political parties or the 3 branches of legislation (representative, congress, senate)?
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
On this verse what is meant by "sorceries"?
Thanks,

26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

Thanks,

God is perfect, holy, loving, longsuffereing and excellent. Sin cannot and will not be in his presence. Jesus is perfect and he tells us in St. Matthew 5:48: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. When Jesus tells us to be perfect, he furnishes the Holy Ghost power for us to be perfect. Believe in Jesus, practice His doctrine of righteousness each and every day. We must exercise faith in God. Without faith it is impossible to please God. The Bible also tells us, "without faith we sin". We must sincerely love and trust God with all our mind, body, soul and strength.
Jesus told the adulterous woman, "Go in peace and sin no more." We are saved when we remove sin from our lives. St. Luke 14:33: ...There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. Repentance is the key. We must stop sinning and live righteously. Every eye shall see Jesus, but none but the pure in heart shall see God. St. Luke 19:10: For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. We are lost without Christ in our lives.
St. John 8:24: ...Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. What is sin? It is trangressing the law of God. The ten commandments tells us what we cannot do. Ephesians 4:24...Put on the new man,
Also Mathew 5:5 Jesus said "Happy are the meek for they will inherit the earth."
If Christian's are to go to heaven when they die, how is it they will inherit the earth?
Also is the Old Testament primarily for the Jews?
Is the NT for the Jews and Gentiles?
What does it mean in Ezekiel 18:20 "The soul that sinneth it shall die? Does this mean there's no life after we die? Same with Ecclesiastes 9:5,6 "The living at least know they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, nor are they remembered.
6 Whatever they did in their lifetime-loving, hating, envying-is all long gone. They no longer play a part in anything here on earth. NLT
I was once a Jehovah Witness and I've come to realise they don't practise the Truth. So please help me try to understand what the true message if the gospel is.
I have many more questions, but it will take time to understand it all
Thanks Trish Western
Really? Guess Paul's heart was not right, because he said that he sinned!
All of this born of God stuff in 1st John completely ties together with what Jesus said about being born again!
Jesus said being born again was a must, and the only way we could enter heaven!
Then he told us on down in the same chapter of John three how to be born again!
By believing in him!
If you do, you will never die and you have everlasting life!
It changes you.
You are no longer a dead spirit and flawed flesh, but a brand new spirit that cannot sin!!!
Because you are born of God and his incorruptible seed remains in you !!!
You are incorruptible!!
Perfect!
Holy!
Righteous!
But your old flesh is still flawed!!!
But it no longer counts against you in regard to eternity and your standing with God!!!
But your flesh is still going to die!
It's still desiring to sin!
Still needing to be controlled by you!!!
And this is why Jesus says if we love him, to keep his commandments!
Our spirits cannot sin when we belong to Jesus!
But our flesh can and does!
God tells us to die to the sinful desires of our flesh!
Daily!!!
Our righteousness can never be taken away!
Our salvation can never be lost !!!
Because it is Jesus' righteousness that we have now, not because we stopped sinning, but because he made us born again new spirits that cannot sin, or ever be corrupted like the first spirit was!!!
All because of Jesus!!!!
Our spirit in his Spirit!
We are no longer in the flesh but in the Spirit if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth inside of us! If we don't have the Spirit of Christ inside of us, then we aren't his!!!
Praising the Lord Jesus Christ for giving us his righteousness, and not leaving our salvation subject to failure again by our actions!!!
Salvation is truly a free gift by grace thru faith in Jesus! Guaranteed unloseable, by God.
The mouth is used for speaking:
To speak what is good
Proverbs 10:11 See also Job 16:5; Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."
To praise
Psalm 71:8 See too Psalm 89:1--"I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations."
Romans 15:6 (NLT) -- "Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
To testify about God
Psalm 71:15 Compare Romans 10:10 (NLT) -- "For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved."
To speak what is bad
Psalm 10:7 other references: 1 Samuel 2:3 --
"Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed."
Proverbs 5:3 --
"For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil" -- NIV
Proverbs 7:21 -- New King James Version
"With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him."
Luke 6:45 Jesus said, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."
