Blessed: when I first saw that post that's what it look like she said.After I read it a couple more times and thought about it? I think she was talking about what she read that from another post.

Chuck; Is that how you think the Lord deals with you? Why then do you cut to pieces a brother and sister? The Sword of the Spirit has two edges; and is given for spiritual battle against principalities and powers of the rulers of the darkness of this age. Too many NEW Believers inexperienced, proud and unloving, in zeal without knowledge,

Irene123 yes 2 out of all of Those in the desert makes you think. all these lazy people who never read the bible who go to church singing we all going to fly away and leave these saints, the elect, to go through the test but the lazy get to fly away while the elect who have already shown God they are loyal and been chosen to stand? God says He hates those who teach the fly away to save souls.

My little children, take heed as you finish your time in the flesh of corruption. Do the wicked not yet see that I numbered myself with the transgressors? For even the lion with his number gets carried away in his own imagination. For the proud beast reveals himself with both his mouth and his hands.

Maybe I understood wrong. Did you say there is a difference in Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost?

John 38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Steph: what angels overcome what?

Sharon:We are saved when The Father tugs on our heart and tells us we need The One that died on The Cross:John6:44/When we ask forgiveness We are Washed by his blood:Revelation1:5/Made new: 2Corinthians 5:17 Baptized with The Holy Ghost: Matthew 3:11/Sealed: Ephesians 4:30/If we are really saved we don't want no more sin! But sometimes we do sin. No our salvation is secured in Christ! If saved?

Genesis 28 is the perfect medicine for anxiety and worry. Ive seen and been through much but he's always been there. Even when Ive turned away...he's always been there talking to me and protecting me. How much so can I truly rest for the rest of my life knowing he's been with me all this time? I rest fully in him..

--Let it not be once named among you, as becometh Saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking,nor jesting---: Ephesians 5:3-6 / Who is brazing enough to stand up and contradict God's word adding to it? changing it?God said don't let it be named one time among you, someone else go ahead it's fine. V:6 let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God---

Irene:verse nine says wrath, the wrath of God is not tribulation:tribulation is not the wrath of God. We will be accountable for all things we say!Matthew12:36 /did persecution and tribulation start when 1 said kill them all 2 yrs and under?When we standup preach salvation,let their Light shine, point to the cross? We are in the tribulation! Wrath for the lost

So I am confused. In Chap 1 V 27 it clearly states that God created mankind, this was done on the 6th day. Then Chap 2 V 7, it clearly says He created a man (which occurred AFTER the 7th day (which He rested) So probably on the 8th day he created man from dust. So did He create people before Adam and Eve?

Only with the laying on of the hands of a living Apostle did they receive the Holy Ghost. Simon the sorcerer could see this power and offered money. This is the baptism of the Holy Ghost. How do we receive it today?

V.42 - " ... of the seed of David, out of ... Bethlehem "? This was at least 30 yrs. after His birth. I wonder of these people at this time, if any were in Bethlehem at His birth, and heard the shepherds, or heard 2nd hand of Jesus birth at the time? Only the Lord knows.

Paul was a dark skinned Jew from the tribe of Benjamin...
Acts 21:
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

Jn. 16:33; Matt. 5:45; Acts 7:59; 16:23; These refer to tribulation (trials) in this life. There will be 'some' saints in Rev.13:7 who will go thru the GREAT tribulation; I haven't r'cvd. clarification on that yet. I KNOW tho' that I will not be one of them because they become saints DURING the GREAT tribulation; how? I don't know; I just take it by faith. A saint NOW will be raptured.

Blessed - I've for 50 yrs. there is no difference between the Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit. On what comment of mine did you make your comment?

"The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which he was taken up," For anyone that likes Biblical History; Who was Theophilus? By the meaning of his name many have guessed it was symbolic, as for ALL "Lovers of God." Actually he was High Priest when Luke wrote his Books; which then also gives meaning to how he wrote the Forewords.

I never saw this before, the connection between this and 1 Cor.1:1 - Sosthenes. In Acts 17:18 which happened before Cor. 1:1, he was a priest in a Jewish synagogue. I guess, after being beaten - he became a Christian or he was a new Christian trying to reach his fellow Jews before being kicked out ..... ?

V.20 - " ... as the disciples stood round about him ..."; ever wonder what they were doing, just 'standing round about him'? maybe they were thinking, 'well, it's gonna be a few years before Med-vac comes around, so what do we do? They weren't just standing there, they were FERVENTLY praying; that's how Paul presently arose, and went about his business. Oh, I'm sure he had some pains, but .....

Correction - God did use Solomon, but I imagine it was before his apostasy .... ?

V. 13 - " ... and so doth Marcus my son." We know Peter was married ( Matt. 8:14; Mk.1:30) so I just wonder if this was his issue or a 'spiritual' son? We know Paul was not married, nor was he a hypocrite as some on here with deviate minds affirm, and that Timothy was his 'spiritual son. God did NOT use hypocrites to write His word.

Khethiwe - How did you 'separate' Jesus Christ? You said Jesus was not coming back, but that Christ was ..... ?

Some comments on the following pgs. for ch. 2 - say that Moses killed a Hebrew; Moses killed an Egyptian, not a Hebrew.

Irene: you are pointing to Adam who pointed to Eve who pointed to----/ The Heart is deceitfull above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9/ Thanks to The Lamb who washed away My sins in His Blood.(Revelation1:5) The Father called 5 times before I said, "forgive me": John 6:44/Baptize with the Holy Ghost--- Matthew 3:11/New Heart:2Corinthians5:17

To be born again - one is born naturally as a physical body. To be born again is a spiritual birth. It happens when you follow Acts 2:38, (note v. 37 where, after Peter's very first message in Jesus new church, the people ask, " ... what must we do?"). Then, all the 'letters' after Acts are instructions to the new churches that have already followed Acts 2:28 on how to live a faithful life.

We should welcome those who are preaching about the good news of God's kingdom. This was a commandment from Jesus to do so, and today very few are meeting that call to action. Being able to boldly proclaim the good news is a feature of God's people. Who are going and preaching about the Bible?

can anyone kindly explain to me what verse 7 and 8 really means?

Sobering,yet so obvious. It is the essence of love.Without humility, how can we love?

a disciple, quote, "FALSE prophet ..... "; who are you talking to?

Bruce - quote, "any of the four .... "? what 'four'?
