Concerning Verse 8. Since Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, do you think that if He came to earth today that He would be worshiping on Sunday (the popes day)?God rested on the Sabbath, Jesus, Disciples, Paul, John, and all Bible characters worshiped on the Sabbath (Saturday)and in Isaiah we will worship on the Sabbath in heaven. So ...

Which book of the Bible is this open book?

God’s Word is never negotiable, neither is it debatable. As a matter it is right to say that it is addressed to the spiritual man and not to the natural or the carnal man. The truth is, what God’s Word says is what it means! Interestingly, there is what is known as the plain truth of the Scripture, and this may be noticeable on the face pages of the Bible- however it is far and far more than that! That means, God's Word is unfathomable and it is only for he that is willing to invest quality time in reflection, study and the practice of it through the tutorship and guidance of the Holy Spirit. These are words of the immortal and the invisible- hence, if there is a way that seems right to a man-but the end of it is death- that is referring to the natural man or the physical and the carnal man. Why? It is because the natural man is an enemy of God. For his trust is on the arm of the flesh. That means the natural man would always think that the counsel of ungodly is what he should hold on to as his decorum, but discerning that it is not pleasing to God. But the spiritual man normally depends upon and feeds on the dictates of the Holy Writ. The import of this particular Scripture is that it is only the counsel of the LORD that shall stand. Also, even though Jesus said without me you can do nothing, it is far deeper than that. In other words, it is only he that is born of God that overcomes the world- and the is the victory that does that even the God kind of faith that gets his sustenance from the well of the living God. As a matter of fact that should not difficult to understand for the spiritual man, because even though we are in the world, with all its mannerism, yet we are not part of the world. It is also true that whether this planet likes it or not, the Kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our LORD Jesus Christ- and He is forever dependable

don't understand what is not forgiven. aren't all sins forgiven if you repent and are truly sorry? aren't the father and the son and the holy spirit one in the same?

Saul recognized Samuel, so it was not a demon, as some have suggested. Samuel was in the place of the dead, waiting for resurrection and the judgment of the righteous. Saul and offspring were to join Samuel there, as they were to die. God had become Saul's enemy, because Saul had rejected Him, over and over. Deuteronomy 28:63 describes what happens when God's people reject Him over and over: "And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and bring you to nought; and you shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it" Christians in the modern church are a little reluctant to acknowledge that God can punish, as well as reward, but there it is. Final judgment of Saul? Only God knows the answer to that one.

I'm just imagining what Lot must have been feeling by the end of this chapter. I'm picturing this family running for their lives. Sprinting! Lot and his wife hand in hand. He probably says something like "Baby,don't let go of my hand nomatter what" and reminds her that they can't look back. They all began to sprint away! Big exploding meteors steaming toward the city behind them. Then, hearing the loudest explosion, she looks back. In Lot's hand, a handful of rock-salt. But stars are still falling behind him. He has to keep running. No time to grieve now. What went through his head at that moment? That's the image that I get from this chapter.

There are some wonderful revelations again in this chapter.But, the verse i am commenting on is verse 16.Jesus said, the devil bound the woman with an infirmity for 18 years.I wonder why the devil would just specialise in wickedness.Why did the devil did this to this woman?.Was this woman aware that satan was the one behind the scene?The audience that were complaining, were they aware of the source of this woman problem.Christians need to learn how to pilot their challenges with prayers. Satan stages battles against any one in order to put all under a perpectual dominion.

Is Johanan plot justifiable to save Gedaliah? Or Gedaliah naivete to blame for the tragedy? Or must Jeremiah, the mouth piece of God, be consulted?

Notice besides parents the only people that knew about the birth are shepherds. Where was the mayor! Where were the religious leaders? The ruling body? You would think the brass would be there to see The King born. verse 18 says all that heard "wondered" just like today! People today still "wonder" about That Birth. God KNEW those would not believe. What a Savior we have in The Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe we as Christians should not have to swear any Oath unless it is to our Lord and God. On earth a Christians word should be enough to where we should not have to swear any Oath.Once you swear a certain oath, then you are accountable for that oath even if the people over what you swore is doing wrong, you become part of the wrong doing. Just my thoughts? Anyone have a different view?

Verse 10: "Are we not all children of the same Father? Are we not all created by the same God?"

When we understand that the personality through whom God always speaks to us is Jesus, this verse becomes clear. Jesus is the Father spoken of here. We see this in Acts 8:4-5 where God answered Paul's question, "Who are you Lord," by saying "I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting."

We must remember that Paul was a devout Jew. And he never would have considered any other God except YHWH Father God. Yet, this God identified himself as Jesus the Son.

You will not understand or believe this if you do not ask God to help you. Ask him and he will!

As a note: God has two other personalities: The personality of "The Father" is the way God directs his affairs, but he never speaks to us this way. Jesus said of him, "You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face."

The perswonality of the Holy Spirit is the way God inspires us to believe in what he is doing. That is, he helps us to understand that Jesus is the way God speaks to, and that this is true from everlasting to everlasting.

May God bless you.

Verse 8: "But to his Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, entures forever and ever. ...'"

When we understand that the God of the Old Testament is Jesus this verse makes perfect sense. This is Jesus talking about himself. That is, he is saying that when he comes into the world to bear our sins he will call himself "the Son." So the Son and God are one and the same. If this is not so, then we have two Gods, and this can never be.

Further proof of this is seen in verse 10 where it says of the Son, "Lord (God), in the beginning you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands." Dosen't it say in John 1:3 that Jesus created everything there is, and that nothing exists that he didn't make?

What we are talking about is personality. God has three distinct personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But the personality through whom God always speaks to us is the Son Jesus. So what these verses are telling us is that the Son is God, or the way God speaks to us, and the way God made everything there is.

God bless you for considering this!

Paul is driven to do his job as a Roman he followed the Law to the letter. To even stand-by and participate in the stoning of Stephen the Apostle. He did not know The Christ-he ask; "Who are you, Lord?" This is the same question, we ask today. So in his infinite Wisdom The Christ chose Paul-knowing he would do all he was asked to do in His Name. When you hear His Voice; DO as Saul has show us; be driven to share the message of The Christ with all the spiritually 'blind and lost' of our generation.

SO HOW ARE PEOPLE "WALKING" AROUND IN HEAVEN WITH LOVED ONES IF NOTHING IS GOING ON AFTER YOU DIE?

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Do you want Gods approval? STUDY!

What a previledge to be a child of god knowing that he always have my best interest at heart.I thank god for opening my eyes to keep his commandments always, for truly if the foundations be destroyed what really can the righteous do?

Some asked the question; "why ask God for something that we already have in Christ and with the Holy Spirit?" Answer: Because the Bible tells us to ask; James 1:5. This book, chapter and verse is addressed to believers.

Humanity, especially christians, are doubtlessly, always faced withh the trepidations orchestrated by the frustrated and furious devil and his cohorts. This is not gainsaying; it is clear and ubiquiteous! Given this yanking truth, many a christian, in search of solutions, have soaked their feet in places they can't boldly discuss in public. But that was not David who would trust God in the least expected situation and moment. And true to his conviction, God has never disappointed him. Dear friend, what challenge are you faced with today, and where ,and/or from whom have you sought help? Oh that the eyes of the believers will be opened to know that whatever troubles they face are simply a subtle strategy of the devil to bring them to his WORSHIP! Like David believers are called to unwavered faith in God inspite the challenges. As for me I have vowed and prayed that devil will never take glory in any of my life,s challenges in Jesus name.

In verse 14 says that snakes shall eat dust all the days of thy life. To my knowlege snakes do not eat dust. Why? If the bible was correct, snakes would be eating dust. I find this to be false. Eating dust means eating dust and snakes do not eat dust.

God set two ways for people to choose - why choose death?

If God knows all, why ask the question in the first place? It not as though he didn't know Cain would lie. His test is useless as he already knew the answer. Furthermore, did God not know Cain would kill Able? Even before their conceptions, God should have known the outcome, correct?

If god created light on the first day (versus 3 and 4), and on the fourth day he created light again ( versus 14, 15, and 16), wasn't light already ctreated on the first day? Why did he created light again on the fourth day?

About piercing, look where they got the gold to make the molten calf for yourself. Hint: Your young woman and young mens earrings?It is custom related, some cultures it is fine as stated when they made the molten calf.Don't Americanize the Bible!!!!!!

From the time of John the Baptist...(mtt. 11:12)

Many believers don't think of the right exegesis of this one of the strongest verses in the Bible. Let's ask ourselves this question, "what prompted this statement by Christ?

Suffice it to say that what caused John to be put into the prison was his ability to confront evil despite the fact that the king was involved.

Let's look at this qualities of forceful men of whom John the baptist was one of:
1. Tenancity
2. Aggressiveness
3. Self denyal
4. Focus, and
5. Total Dependebility on God

Jesus said, " him that will follow me must deny himself first."

Consider the challanges the apostles and the early church fathers faced; then, you will understand what Jesus is talking about here.

We know that David was a man after God's own heart so when I saw vs. 22 I thought, "Why would David say this in a psalm about hate?" Then I realized that when you read the context and cross-reference you see that David hated the enemies of God not because David himself hated them but because they hated God. This is a God verse when it comes to cults, other religions, and false prophets.

Why do the Catholic stress/ emphasise on The Last Supper?

Is it possible to resist all the sins without being filled with the HOLY SPIRIT?
If no, how do I submit myself to GOD? Can I submit to Him unrighteously?
Because I am afraid without true submission, being filled with the Holy Spirit if fairly impossible.
Please help.

Job Chapter 23
Is teaching all of us because no one in the world is not tested by God. To prove my theory Jesus taught us that we pray that don't lead us in temptation but deliver us from the evil.
How do we know the testing from above beyond our understanding? We have to bear our pain without complaint but to be calm and not to give up believing. Job was a good man of God so he suffered for us in order to learn from him.
That's why these peoples mentioned in the Bible are the chosen one of Israel.

How can we posess the earth when we are going to die? Do we come back? Will there be a time when Christians will live here and not die? This is very confussing to me.
