Verses 25 through 29 what does it mean according to end to times ?

Vay; Thank you for speaking up! Nice to hear from you! YES! It is like the Sermon on the Mount, TOTALLY; and the Parable of the Sower, and the Wheat and the Tares, and the Wise and Foolish Virgins, and the Good and Faithful House Managers next to the One who went and hid his Lord's money. What's wrong with hypocrisy? Stage-playing, giving a misleading appearance meant to conceal one's true nature!

GAR (cont.) That's just it, isn't it? "Let your light thus shine before men, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN." Why did Cain murder his brother? Because his own WORKS were evil, AND HIS BROTHER'S RIGHTEOUS. By what will the Spirit in us convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; if not by our love for Jesus SHOWN BY keeping His commandments?

What doth it profit? What does your faith profit to the observer if he cannot see any works? Can faith, not being seen by works, bring the observer to a point where he will be saved? Can faith, that has works to show the faith, communicate to the observer truths which can save him? I want my faith to be seen by my works so that people, observers, can possibly come to the point of being saved.

"...it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." Why? BECAUSE OF sneaking unclean impostors and hypocrites whose hearts and souls are bound in love for what is hated and hostile to the Lord, and toward the truth itself! We are in a Holy War for Man's Soul. Let the fearful and the vacillating be advised!

AMEN Christina!!! How shall it be known that God hath wrought in us, without the effects? Can the grace of Jesus Christ be in my heart, and my manner of life, spirit and nature reflect His image and likeness? Should we then instead mislead ourselves by stage-playing and flattering talk and love songs to Jesus, and our heart not really be for Him? So faith without WORKS, DEEDS, ACTION, IS DEAD!

Avigayil; You bring up a very important point; which, unfortunately, is too much neglected in the most elementary teaching of Christians. A parable is a short story that uses familiar events to illustrate a religious or ethical point (Collins Dictionary). Jesus said, "Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God..Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?"

Here's our other problem. What is the common belief regarding how many days and nights it rained during the flood? 40, right? Read the account in Genesis chapter 8 verses 2

...vesre 36 says only the Father knows. Not the angels, nor any man. So why don't you ask Him? He hears. He answers those that will be like Mary and ponder them in their heart. Its not for the world to know. Only those who have His Spirit, and who ask Him. See John 15:15. Yeshua know's the time. His "friends" will also know the time. Keep asking. Keep searching the Scriptures. :-)

For me, the verses do contain hidden meaning. They are parables. They weren't meant for everyone to understand. The disciples had to have the words you are reading revealed to them. They had to ask Yeshua what they meant. The Word is "living and active"...we need to ask Him to reveal these hidden treasures to us as well. See Jeremiah 33:3, and then 1 Thess 5:1-9. What times and seasons?

"..the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, MY SPIRIT SHALL NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH MAN FOR THAT HE ALSO IS FLESH.." What do you hear the most from constantly the backslider who just can't quit sinning? Excusing their sins (which they secretly love) because their flesh is weak! This is the true doctrine.

Dawn (cont.) This is not something that I am uncertain of or misinformed: Check it out and compare to the way men have despised and rejected the holy faith of God's Anointed, because they don't want to be told what to do, to be clean and holy, and to believe in Jesus! They want the world, the flesh and the devil! What is the point AT ALL if demons bred with women? Its a lie! Angels can't copulate!

By Belief, By Faith...AND By WORKS:

James 2: 19-26
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect

Eric: I'm curious as to why you think what you think?.

"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came Magi (Persian Astrologers) from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." God brings about His plans if His people are ready, or not; and He rules over ALL! "And the Gentiles shall come to thy light.."

The Holy Spirit showed me this passage,about 3-4 years ago What does this mean? Now, I'm reading this passage more than ever. God will never forsake his ppl. Thanks be to God!

Jesus asked which of you keeps the law? None of you keeps the law. John 7;19 THUS TH NEED offer up an annual sacrifice for their Sins, Which is a picture of Christ the lamb of GOD that taketh away the SINS of the world thus a NEW COVENANT The old covenant cd not make man SINLESS.If PERFECTION came under the levitical Priesthood ( th law) what need was there for another priesthood AFTER MELCHEZIDEC.

Dennis (cont.) Secondly; do you really think that God would tell us to do something if He knew we couldn't do it; and then hold the threat of eternal damnation against us because we didn't do it? And while I know that you are not the originator of that subversive lie, I must warn you: Test the spirits and every voice by the Nature and Spirit of Christ in the Scriptures. There are many deceivers.

It was good, what I'm searching for according to the KJV,
WHAT IS THE. PHYSICAL 1ST DAY OF THE YEAR?
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE. HELP ME. AND SHOW ME WHERE TO. FIND IT? THANKS! God bless!

I believe this passage is speaking of the Elijah as the fiery preacher John the Baptist. How many of us Christians would call people vipers? However, we need to remember that John the Baptist had the Holy Spirit in him while he was in the womb! Wow!!

When we ask God for something do we continue to ask or ask just that one time ? I have put this before a few and have gotten different answers.

Luke 13:3 (lastly) There are so many who really think they are trying to bring people to Jesus; but completely neglect and are totally silent about this most important and absolutely indispensable spiritual and moral action which Jesus says, If we don't do it we will perish! Why can't they say, REPENT?

"..except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (cont.) Did none of those whose lives were violently cut short have a saving knowledge of the Lord? This is precisely what the Lord Jesus is saying, and the point for everyone us, that while we are here and living, is space granted for us to repent and turn to God. Having another religion or just being good people can't erase the need to repent!

"Suppose ye that these.. were sinners above all.., because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." In the examples given, it was a brutal atrocity of terrorism perpetrated by the Governor Pilate himself upon some Jewish worshipers; and an innocent group of bystanders who were killed when a building collapsed. All apparently unsaved!

Its so hard sometimes to have strong faith when everything is going wrong,,,,we pray but get no answer, we wait and no answer,,we cry out and no answer,,,and we listen to preachers say that sometimes Gods answer is No,,,
So what do we do when his answer is justified either way?
I have no answer for you,,,,,,,,,,,If it is His will, you will recieve,,,,,if not you wont,,,but my heart yearns still.

Believers in need of mercy,cry,weep and mourn.Who owns forever?God and those to whom he has given everlasting life through the work of Jesus,we are lifted from the grave unto everlasting,the healed unto everlasting,the favored ones forever.There are no partially saved people.Therein is understanding that produces praise unto the glory of God.Love in return for the greater love shown us on Calvary.

does anyone consider than the bible begins from the end? genesis 1:28;2:5 2:24 is possible that genesi 1 replace the 2 ?

Before Pentecost, the Holy Spirit would come upon men as He chose. Balaam is an example here, but remember King Saul? The Spirit came upon him and he prophesied with the sons of the prophets. However, like Balaam, he was never saved. Today, when we get saved, we received the Holy Spirit and are sealed unto the day of redemption. He is our 'Earnest'. Once saved, always saved! Praise God!

"If ye love me, keep my commandments." If you always tell your wife, Oh, I love you, I love you; but won't go to work or help with the chores; how is that love? Aren't you supposed to be under promise before God to love one another and be one? Why do you not keep the Lord's commandments? Laziness? Indifference? Other loves more important? Fear of the ridicule and looks of men? No heart agreement?

Question: Does God see race?
Answer: vs. 10

In all aspects of human rule, we are focused on classifying ourselves, by race, gender, wealth, and so on...in every human culture.

But a lot of animosity can be avoided if we view ourselves as God views us. We are all simply his children. We have on father. SO why do we need to be partial to one another? So truly there is only one race: human
