Steph: how shall you escape if you neglect so great salvation? Hebrews 2:3/ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelations 20:15 /--- hast redeemed us to God by thy blood--- Revelations 5:9 / Neither is their salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men,whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

To Daniel FC - Where are you, Dan; are you alright?! I'm praying for you and your family. I don't mean, 'where do you live'; I'm just asking why you have been gone so long ................. ? I've missed you.

"Lord, teach us to pray..." The Lord DOES teach us! He gives us precisely the words to use; and He tells us all about HOW to pray. It is our own UNBELIEF and lack of determination that accepts obstacles and contradictions as indisputable; instead of tenaciously clinging to the urgency of our need, and not accepting a "No" from Him who alone can help us. How badly do you need? THEN PRAY LIKE IT!

steve:what is the WILL of GOD?

"Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? She stands in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths." By wisdom God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them. God then made man "in His image and likeness." But how can we attain to His knowledge? It must start with a good conscience, like a little child; and increase in stature by proof and grace.

Irene, have you not read the part where the Lord Jesus warns against blasphemy of the Holy Ghost? This terrible warning of eternal damnation concerns those who said Jesus had an unclean spirit; and who were NEVER saved Christians! You spend a lot of time "instructing" others; but the foundation and building of understanding knowledge of the Spirit of Truth must be irrefutable as Whom we speak for.

Steve morrow you know why the law is not made for people of faith? Because the just live by faith. If the spirit of G-D is leading you he will never lead you into sin. That is why I believe a man can walk in perfection. If Jesus said, "be ye perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." It must be possible...consider yourself dead but alive unto the L-RD!!!

Irene:The Scripture says he that speaks evil of the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness-,describes came down and they said, Jesus has a devil: that's saying The Holy Ghost is a devil: Mark 3:22-30/ Are you trying to force people to believe what you do? Where in scripture does it say the things you said?/ Hebrews 9:12 redemption through his blood forever Revelations 1:5 washed by his blood/ 1John 1:9

Gary: READ THE POST BELOW YOUR NAME BY BRUCE (DO YOU FEEL A TUG IN YOUR HEART?)

To Cikizwa - the first gospel writer who didn't finish - what? and what is meant by, "also the eye witness of Jesus"?

Irene, Have you ever seen someone who was truly gifted in one thing or another? The Lord made them that way! Like when He told Moses, that He knew Aaron his brother could speak well; God makes us all the way He makes us! Not only Beezaleel and Aholiab; but all the others, "whose spirits stirred them up" to come do the work; God gave them all understanding and skill to do every aspect of the work.

Gods word became flesh If Jesus sit's on the throne at his father's right hand, So do I?. Your words are like a double-edged sword, one side can cut you while the other side can heal it. One word from God can change you life Forever. The 7 spirits of the Lord ???? Hmmm

To Steph - I have to ask (and this is an honest, sincere question) why do you think the Bible has hung around for 2,000 yrs., give or take a hundred, if no one should read it?

V. 1 - " ..... there were an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another ..... " ; can you imagine?! Hungry, honest souls as well as the Pharisees and Sadducees. The Lord God just shone His light on Jesus for all to see. Even the false prophets that came before Jesus didn't have such a following. People KNEW Jesus was - different.

123, so Father and Holy Ghost aren't important to you?

To S. Morrow - I'm just curious; how do you know you are "called by His name?" I know this is a 'quote' you used, but I am assuming you are stating the fact in your own life that you are called by His name, personally. What did you do to let you know this?

To Gary on salvation - Read Matt. 28:19, then Acts 2:37-38, then Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:9-10. In Matt. notice the word 'name'. Jesus Himself said this. Peter followed Jesus instructions in Acts 2:38, "baptized in the NAME." V. 37 they asked the brethren, "what shall we do?" Acts 4:12 says, "NONE other name." You're going to get LOTS of advice against these scriptures. Pray to Jesus of this.

V. 16 - And WITHOUT controversy .................. GOD was .....................; hmmm; I thought JESUS was ... ? I see here that God is telling me - His name is Jesus; and whatsoever ye do in word or deed (water baptism is done in both) do ALL in the NAME of - Jesus.

(continuing ...) How does someone, or a whole group of people, go from "bowing their heads and worshiping" one day, to saying, "The LORD look upon you!" the next, when they see the proud and wicked react to the Word of God with hostility and persecution? What did the Israelites really expect would be the reaction from such an arrogant and hateful, cruel Pharaoh, when told about God? ( 1 Cor. 14:20)

Beezaleel and Aholiab; I wonder if they were born with their knowledge or did God endow them with it - miraculously? It doesn't matter; their and all our knowledge comes from God. But - we have put forth an effort by staying in school, listening to our parents; the Lord helps those who help themselves.

To Sandy on Tabernacle - All I know is a 'cubit' is the length of one's forearm - from elbow to either finger tips or just wrist. An adult males forearm is basically the same between males - I guess? To get a TRUE measurement though, they'd have to use the same guy; can you imagine - being a measuring stick on a job???

What is that hope of glory? Hope what is hope? Hope is that the love of Jesus Christ that true love will never fail.

Thomas: do you feel a tug in your heart? John 6:44 / ask forgiveness 1John1:9 /you will be baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire:Matthew3:11 you will know! 2Corinthians 5:17 impossible not to know! Woke up next morning WOW. A whole new world. ( It's me that is new, seeing the world with different eyes!).

To Iris Farmer - Years ago, in 1964, I was working at the Grand Canyon and knew a Sue Farmer; You wouldn't be related ..... ? She was engaged at the time to a man who was going to be a minister. They were from back east, but I can't remember where - Wi., N.H., Minn.?

Rick:V:26 let us make man in our image---. 1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost:--. I never heard of three gods? Is 1John 5:7 saying there's a Trinity in heaven keeping record and they are the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost?

Irene: The Lord used a needle as an example. again there has never been a gate called as such,never has been.the only thing I found was a rope or twine made from camels hair. Impossible to past threw the eye of a needle. This is about salvation! A rich man cannot enter in. Impossibly! That's why they said who then can be saved? Only those redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Revelations 5:9

Will: any little seed of sin in our life can explode into a raging inferno! That's why we have to get rid of all our sins. The child could ask, where did I come from? who are my parents? why did you kill them? Or hear from other tribes around, the evils of their families history. The seed is planted,the cycle starts again!

Yes, Irene123, I was referring to you. I think the comment/question you had made was "How do you go through the door...?". It wasn't that I was implying you didn't go to church enough, just some ways that you can have Jesus in your heart.

If you wish to live, keep the commandments. If you would be perfect, forsake the sin and deceit of the world, and follow Jesus with all your heart. Do you want God? He is closer than your hands and feet, and His word is near, even in your mouth! But your sins have separated you from your God, and will sink you lower than the grave, if you don't repent and turn your life to seek the Lord in truth.

(12-16) When any of us came to the crisis point in our life, that led us to seek cleansing and forgiveness and salvation; did any of us do it because it was popular? or because of merely seeking relief from our distresses? Why do you think, that the Lord always kept His one on one dealings with people private? He never, NEVER, used His power for advertising, as so many think they have to do!
