Respond to concern sister comments. This is what this means [18] And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?

Sew pillows — A figurative speech, expressing the security, which they promised to every one that came to them.

Kerchiefs — Triumphal caps, which were made by these prophetesses, and put upon the head of every who one consulted them, and by these they were to interpret, as a promise of victory over the Babylonians.

Stature — That is, of every age, whether younger or elder, which usually is seen by their stature.

To hunt — All this is really spreading a net, as hunters do, to catch the prey.

Will ye save — Can you preserve them alive, whom you deceive by your promises?

our Lord and our saviour shall never leave us nor forsake us,greater is he that dwells within us,than the one that is in the world!,which man or foe can stand against him?!,with our master on our side,the one that has already overcome the world,we are acheivers,conquerers of all things!.Blessed art thou o lord our God!,praise,Honour,glory to be to him our Lord Jesus Christ now and forever more!.

Could it be that this verse was a metaphoric explanation for God's Power to destroy His enemies or was it a literal version of God's Angels? Whether this is a literal translation, I have to say that the numerical mentioned and the action are right.

This is proove that God's creature's are in heaven with us. That he loves them even more than we do. THERE are many other verses to support this idea. That they are tane enough thst a child will lead them . Who is God's child?. JESUS . Face it he put more animals on the Ark than people. God states he knows when one sparrow falls. Look it up

i am still doing research about Genesis6:1-4,but i don't believe that it was angels that came from heaven and get marriege,cause the angels can't have sex! ok,if they did it,are they still sons of God? and why the writer used the word "sons of God and yet we have in mind that those were rebelious angels?

The bible says in the book of Genesis that after the fall, he slew a lamb and He clothed them, I am sure that what Deut22,5; 1Peter3,1-6 and 1Tim2,9-15 are just manifestation of what was done in the garden, God isn't a controversial God but He knows why He is saying so!!! Look around you how women are portraying themselves as "Sex appeal" with their tight and squeezed jean and legging? Do you think they are godly like that? I am not sure according to the word, they just look like sexual tool and you don't even desire marry such women unless for sexual avidity! Lord have mercy because the word of God prone holiness and that is the only thing people are afraid of and by the way they want to dilute the word! Also weak pulpit, those that are there for money making will never speak the truth, afraid to loose their money they make out of church goers! Only a true child of God will recognise the word without doubting it!!! God isn't a "theological entity, bible school or bishop" He interprets his own word and give it to those that yearn for the truth! Shalom

Why did Jonah get angry with God for changing His mind (God) from destroying Nineveh?
Can anyone help me?

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else. Isaiah 45:22

DO NOT WORSHIP JESUS (PEACE BE UPON HIM). Worship only one true god, creator of the heavens and earth, your creator and creator of all things living and dead. Creator of Jesus , Moses, Abraham and Mohammad (peace be upon all of them).

If you worship jesus (peace be upon him) or any other but god, jesus will say to you:

"depart from me……"

Matthew 7:22-23 says:Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

People do you see just how important it is to choose to Love rather than to hate; Forgive rather than to hold a grudge; You can see from Matthew 7:22-23 that even the church, who actually have the power & gifts of God will be cast into Hell, and this chapter shows why. So we see that you can be anointed and still be in danger off hell fire, or rather still not have a relationship with God because your heart never learned how to truly Love. So I say to everyone; match this chapter up to you. Your salvation depends on it. For the Saints: this chapter shows us that we only have part of God, and Matthew 7:22-23 shows us that part of God is not good enough.

Vs 22-23 is a blessing to me, because this where Christ wants everyone of His children to come and be more like Him. Ask yourselves what is your fruit like, what kind of fruit are you producing everyday. Are we short patient? Are you kind? Are we gentle? Examine yourselves.

Had the whole tribe of benjamin gone bad that no one came to this woman defense while hearing her screams from this abuse. Was her husband such a coward that he just didn't go out in her place. Why is Israel trying to find the tribe of Benjamin wives after killing all the women. ?

The word 'afflictions' doesn't actually mean illnesses,sicknesses or diseases but it also means troubles(of which diseases are included). Many are the afflictions of the righteous...Who are the righteous ones? 2cor 5:21 says, anybody in Christ Jesus, the one who is born again is the righteousness of God. Rom 5:17 reiterates the same thing. So you may be born again now and probably going through some heat right now,may be in your finances, business, physical body, academics, marriage, relationship, ministry, etc. But you know what? God's Word is coming to you now. Do not be discouraged, do not fear, do not cry. Maintain your composure because God will surely deliver you out that trouble. Hallelujah! How? By continuously speaking what God has said about you concerning your situation, in His written Word. You can start with this same verse. Forexample: one with an affliction in his/her finances keep saying( psalm 23), "the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want..." Dont stop talking it, just keep saying it. And God's Word will surely prevail. Hallelujah!

I do believe that marriages can be restored with prayer, honesty and a willingness to work it out. But how can one do that and yet still be in love with someone else other than the husband/wife?

I see some good comments...yes I think the Cain line comes to play here and how interesting it is that the coronation stone of David has been in N Ireland at/around time of Jesus. Do you think Jacob lost it or left it behind?? NOT LIKELY. These false jew moneychangers were getting called out by Jesus and he was probably killed for it

Whoa hold on Tim...Mary and Joseph?? I think you need to put this into the proper context friend. They were talking about Abraham...millenia before Jesus pal. Mary and Joseph had exactly zero to do with the Jew moneychangers Jesus was addressing. He was calling them out as illegitimate in their claim as "Gods People" and not descendents of God's chosen line of David....evil fakes and devil's folk is the way we read it in the unmolested versions in Greek.

I think he is saying you are from "another line" of Abraham that is not really consistent with the blood line of David and Jacob....sort of like wannabes claiming a place they did not rightfully occupy....I guess this proves Jesus was NOT a Jew and was probably killed for outing the money changers as fakes? Is that right.... anyone.... anyone - Buehler?

I agree with Les Browns comment.

Also, I suggest we look back to the event. 9 disciples left behind while Jesus took Peter, James and John up the mountain. On there return they find an argument is in full swing. Theologies rendering the authority of the disciples ineffective?

Jesus rebuke is not to be ignored!

Wicked and perverse generation... The word perverse implies that those involved in the attempt to heal and also the pursuing theological debate were more interested in themselves, their reputations and glory than they were in the plight of the boy and his father.
I can hear them judging the boy and the father... Who sinned.
Jesus did not come to condemn but to set the captives free... When the church gets suckered into a cause hunt, we fail to exercise the authority Christ has given.
Judge not lest ye be judged!
Now... Jesus didn't fast... He often prayed, but not for this boy... He didn't upbraid the father for his lack of faith... And Jesus is our example!
The usefulness of fasting is not an increase in our authority, it is useful in reducing us. Getting our religious and theological biases out of the way and turning us towards the work of God... Set the captives free!

There are many people who believe, when someone dies, it's simply "their time to go.." But those people should read this verse. Keeping God's law and His commandments will add time to our lives, and will allow us to live out the 70 years God promised us. Those who are not living by God's words and are living in sin, are getting their lives cut short. You want a long, peaceful life? Serve Jesus and keep His word and laws all the days of our lives.

DEAR READERS,DO U UNDERSTAND FROM THIS PASSAGE THAT CHRIST CLAIMS HERE TO BE THE LORD GOD OF DAVID.THE SAME GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT,THE SHEPHERD OF ISRAEL AND THAT WAS ALSO WHY HE SAID,"I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD",DAVID ALSO SAID,"THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD,I SHALL NOT WANT"..? JESUS CHRIST IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGTHY,THE SHEPHERD AND BISHOP OF MY SOUL.DO U KNOW HIM AS UR GOD AND SAVIOUR ?.THINK ABOUT IT

good or bad,are we in the last days? REVELATIONS 6:5,6,8 The third seal,represent inflation and famine,The balances or scales are related to commerce trade The word penny represent about one days wages. wheat and barley considered necessities of life, A Measure about a quart, the price that was given was about ten times normal , The command hurt not the oil and the wine .May indicate restriction on the effects of the famine in this early parts of tribulation. The seal brings death to the fourth of the population of the earth, through war, famine, and pestilence Death take lives, Hell holds them for judgement, MATTHEWS 24:7-13 My favorite is v13 But he that endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Seven pairs of clean animals (14 of a kind) and two of each unclean. Two pairs! That's 4 animals of each kind, not two. No one gets this right. Yet it is written clearly. So what else do we have wrong? Most likely everything we hold as true.

Why does this verse refer to Jacob and his eleven children? Leah gave him 6 sons and 1 daughter, the maidservants gave him 4 sons in total at the time Rachel had 1 son. That's 11 sons and one daughter, so twelve children in total. So why does the verse say he crossed with his eleven children?

how did the serpent know about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

It was not the Jews....though they said...His blood be upon us...No man could take His life. As in Job, unless God expressly allowed it...."...save his life", is what he told Satan. Just who do you think is in charge of this world and that which is to come? This commandment received from His Father....that settles the matter. He took on the sins of the whole world...that is why whosoever trusts in Him has eternal life.

Dear Karen, women are very rarely mentioned in the bible because they are considered a part of man. Only significant woman with a true contribution and identity of their own are mentioned by name. Eve is significant because she is the first. Do you know Noah's wife where she came from or what her name is, what about lots wife? In the long list of names, only sons are mentioned by name, it doesn't mean daughters were not born. For this reason we will never really know Cain's wife.

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

This man was not content with the use of his Lord substance, He considered it a burden to do the things of the Lord

Therefore brethren be of a cheerful heart doing the things assigned unto you in this life!

Proverbs 17:16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

Matthew 25:12 But he (Jesus) answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

1John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

The bible has four gospels but how are they written accordingly?

I believe the fruit referred to in Song of Solomon 7:13 may be the same as the treasures referred to in Matthew 13:52. Jesus said that scribe who becomes a disciple of the Kingdom is like one who brings out of his storehouses treasures he has laid up, both new and old. The maiden, likened unto the Bride of Christ tells her beloved she has laid up for him fruits new and old. Therefore, we, as the Bride of Christ and the disciples of the Kingdom must lay up fruit, both new and old, for our Beloved. What is this fruit that we must lay up, then ? Quite a few references to spiritual fruit can be found ( Galatians 5:22-23; John 15:1-17; Matthew 7:15-20...). However, I think the mystery lies in the new and the old. Jesus wants us to seek it out, to decipher the parable for ourselves. What is the new fruit and what is the old fruit ? When we have dug deep we will discover the answer and can lay up all manner of those pleasant fruits for our Master.

Is the sabbath Saturday? Or Sunday? My boyfriend and I are conflicting about this.
