"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." 2 Thessalonians 2 15.
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the TRADITION which he received of us."
God of my father, i said I would forsake the Catholic church. But now I beseech thee to save the catholic church and not destroy it.
How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together."
"I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city." Hosea 11: 8,9
"Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found." Hosea 14: 8.
These are my petitions for the Catholic church, Lord Jesus Christ,
that you be their only Mediator, the only name that Catholic Christians pray in.
God of my father, save the Christian traditions, save the Catholic church, save Israel, save them and us for thy pardon's sake,
for thy mercies' sake.
God, save thy people Israel in like manner, that they know their true and only Messiah Jesus Christ, and be safeguarded through Him and His forgiveness.
I still need you to be the one that heals me, God of our fathers, stop the way against what hurts, and stop the way against what i fear. Heal my wounds just enough to get me out of harm's way, enough to make me functional again.
I beg to The Lord our God that I be not hospitalized but healed by Him who has Almighty power, through the merits of Our Saviour and Healer Jesus Christ.
It is my understanding that most modern versions of the Bible cannot be called translations . They have not employed a group of scholars and translaters to produce a modern version , they have simply taken out the words they don't like such as thee and thou etc and basically used a thesaurus to replace the old fashioned words with modern words . In no way is that a translation . The King James Bible was a labour of love , read the dedication at the front of it . God uses people to accomplish His Will , do we believe that ? He has done it right throughout history and is still doing it today . Did He not use this king , with his worldly wealth and power to do a marvelous thing ? Then , many years later , He used the British Empire to help to spread the Gospel . If you doubt me , check the history of Christianity in Europe , God leaves nothing to chance , He works in this world every day and always has done , may He never stop .
I need help with the online concordance:I can rarely get decent results when I enter phrases or partial phrases. Is there a method to accurate search the concordance?
Just thinking today of all my spiritual family that I haven't seen or heard from in a long time . Miss so many of them and their wisdom and support . I had a brother in Lamesa but haven't heard from him for ages . We never forget the ones we love . It's easy to forget the meanies but the ones we have loved stay in our hearts forever . Treasure your spiritual family at least as much as your physical . I know I do , even more so to be honest .
1 GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,2 Hath in these last days(last two Days-2000 years)spoken unto us by His Son...heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;3Who being the brightness of His glory,and the express image of His person,and upholding all things by the Word of His power,when He had by Himself purged our sins,sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
GOD"s Plan was to create man in the sixth Day. GOD said:Ge.1:26-Let us make man in OUR image,after OUR likeness.But without JESUS, GOD's Plan was unfeasible,so 2000 years ago the Word was made flesh,was born JESUS.It was the fourth GOD's Day,i.e. 4000 years after Adam.GOD was still working in His wonderful Plan to create man in the sixth Day,as is written,not in the begining but in the END of the sixt Day.Then the Word,GOD Himself,self-executing,and JESUS,the Greater Light of fourth GOD's Day,which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, both have worked these last 2000 years to make man according to the GOD's Plan.
Many received JESUS,to them gave He power to become sons of GOD,to them that believe on His name,which were born not of blood,nor of the will of the flesh,nor of the will of man,but of GOD-Jo.1:12-13.
Ephesians 1:3-8
GOD chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world,we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus to Himself,according to the good pleasure of His will,to the praise of the glory of His grace,wherein He has made us accepted in the Beloved.In whom we have redemption through His blood,the forgiveness of sins,according to the riches of His grace;having made known unto us the MYSTERY of His will in the dispensation of the FULNESS of TIMES...In whom also we have obtained an inheritance,being PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of Him...that we should be to the praise of His glory...
Dear Christians . In case you didn't know , today is Pesach Sheni or , the second Passover . Numbers chapter 9 . One thing that I find striking about this feast/holiday is that it wasn't originally instituted by God . God gave it to the Israelites in response to their outcry of fear at being left out , unable to offer their offering and praise God along with every one else , due to ritual uncleanness . Also noteworthy is that it lasts just one day instead of the seven days of the first Passover . For me , this Pesach Sheni is a sign of hope , hope that you can always try to make amends and do what is right and acceptable to God , even if it's a bit later than it should have been , God doesn't slam the door in anyone's face and walk away . This second Passover us a full month after the first , God knows that we need Him and His mercy every day and He is very gracious in making Himself available and approachable . God is very considerate of us in our weakness and humanity . Through Christ our Redeemer and our Passover , we can have access to the Holy One of Israel . Praise God for His wonderful loving kindnesses towards us . Christ is the second Passover , bringing in the unclean ( us gentiles ) in one day he gave up his life for us , willingly . All things in the Old point to the New , this is why it's so important to read the Old as well as the New .
I'm just curious there are 6 scriptures, only in KJV, that start with the hebrew transliteration word. "Neginoth". which means "on stringed instruments". Psalm 4,6,54,55,67,76, Habakkuk 3:19 is said to be a 7th but it ends in english "on stringed instruments".
My thought is why did they choose to use this one word from hebrew and only in these places, especially when the work being done is to translate in to English.
There are many different ways to believe in God in the world today. But where do we find the real God and our way to eternal life with Him? God is not the God of many different religions; many different beliefs, that is the devil. God is the God of one true religion; His. How do you suppose God who, loves us so ultimately and deeply, made the way for us to have eternal life in heaven? One religion criticizes the other for this or that in their beliefs but there is one source God has given us to know without having to debate or judge other's beliefs. The Bible. The God who created everything and knows everything is quite capable of preserving His Word in truth, keeping it pure. So we do have the directions, in whole, to read and understand the way to salvation? So who do you believe? Your pastor or priest or your church or your grandma or parents, etc.? Or do you study for yourself so you KNOW what the truth is. (I use the KJB only but that's me.) The important thing is to read and study diligently for yourself. You can come up with many excuses not to do this, but just "reading" it or not giving it any attention at all will not get you into heaven. That's my opinion, sure, but you might want to find out for yourself if you really do want to go to heaven. Eternal life with a wonderful, all loving, benevolent God offering unimaginable blessings for eternity or eternal damnation. One human being doesn't have the authority to tell other human beings what to believe when it comes to God. They can share what they believe, like a minister preaching, but it is totally up to each of us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.
I think one of the absolutely most vital verses to read and understand is 2 Timothy 2:15. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth." (KJB) Don't you agree? Do you believe the Word is from God for each one of us to read and study so we can understand what God is telling us? Do you believe God is telling us to study for ourselves, to know what God is wanting from us so we can have eternal life? Do you believe God has given all the scripture to us by the power of the Holy Ghost to admonishes us to know His will so we can find our way to heaven? Do you believe that once you begin to study with an open heart and mind that you will find delight in God's word? I am a child of God not a Catholic or a Protestant or a part of any kind of religion, just a child of God. God doesn't care about titles. So, what is really true when it comes to the human soul and having a promise of eternal life with God? Isn't that what matters? It's easier to just go along and accept what other's may tell you to believe but in the end it will be devastating for your soul if they are wrong. We, as God's creation, can have an assured hope of heaven if we would find the truth on our own, what God has planned for us from the very beginning. God became man in the person of Jesus Christ so His divine blood could be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. He didn't intend for it to be any other way. His death and return to heaven was all He decided was needed for us to have salvation. He gave His word for us to find our way to the true Him and how to become born again. I hope there will be those who will give, what you read here, some serious thought and take it to heart. The Holy Ghost wrote the bible, He will help you understand it. Just ask Him to.
Jason Padrick - are you still here reading? I am just reading your plea about being consumed with prayer and guilt.. and I hope that you are consoled in Jesus knowing that you are loved and protected by God.
I have been reading & sharing from your site for years, and never once created an account or even said thank you. Now that I created an account here, my stats are terrible! 0%...it's serves me right. today I'm saying thank you for your decades of public service. It is so easy to find things too. I mused to drag out my heavy Strongs or Vines.
I'm kind of an old fashion Christian that likes the "older" contemporary Christian music. This artist has a beautiful voice and can write these wonderful, uplifting lyrics to. It is very grievous that some popular artists, like Kelly Clarkson and Lauren Daigle support homosexuality so I can't possible listen to their music or else I'm supporting them. I grieve for them. God Bless :)
My name is Aaron Wolf I am saved and have been baptized. I pray to the Lord not very often I don't really often read my Bible and when I do both things I feel like I get further away. Does any body have any suggestions?
Hello Christians ! It's so good to be on here it had taken me a while to get permission but it's sorted and I'm very grateful . Sending all my brother's and sisters all over the earth my greetings and best wishes for us all to have a wonderful day in the love and mercy of our Lord Jesus . I hope that wherever you are that you are healthy and happy and strong in your faith . May God bless us all today and may He continue to watch over us all with merciful eyes . Speak again soon God willing .
if you're thinking only humanly, it's a very lonely ride just reading the King James Bible. but we're never alone . I'm back after having internet cut off from me by a very abusive person . I'm thankful for the grace of God.
I hope you all don't mind if I reply to all of you in this one discussion. I think that would be a little easier for me then answering each one one of you individually. I have decided to take 5 days and pray and study and do some fasting and open my heart to what God is saying about this issue because I NEED to know His truth. If I am wrong about full sanctification and the infilling of the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues I WANT to know. Especially if my sin nature (the old man, which is what God calls it.
Ephesians 4: 22-23) is still a part of me and that I shouldn't be accepting faults as just habits that I need the Lord to help me overcome but as actual sins I need to ask forgiveness for.
It's late in the day now, so I'll begin tomorrow, which is Monday, and I'll go through to Friday and then send a reply to you Saturday, March 2nd. No matter what the Lord tells me at the end of the week, I'd like to leave it at that, as far as any more discussion goes on my part. Of course, any of you can reply and I will read them. Then maybe we can find something else to discusses. Please believe me, Adam, I am not being divisive, I am totally sincere. God Bless you all. Have a blessed week. MOMSAGE :)

Where Jesus once died for me.
and I asked, "Is this the place where hope abides?
And this He said to me:
"Beyond the Cross is a tomb that is empty
You won't find Me there anymore
And beyond the tomb is life ever-lasting
And hope forever more."
Then I sought reassurance and I went to the tomb
To the place where His body once laid
And I cried, "Lord, help me see.
Is there hope here for me?"
And this I heard Him say:
"Beyond the Cross is a tomb that is empty
You won't find Me there anymore
And beyond the tomb is life ever-lasting
And hope forever more and hope forever more." Evermore
lyrics by Carroll Roberson
(These lyrics are simple but beautiful.
I wish I could play the music too.)
Who made the mountains? Who made the trees
and Who made the rivers flow to the sea
and Who hung the moon in the starry sky?
Somebody bigger then you and I.
Who makes the flowers bloom in the spring
Who wrote the song for the robins to sing
and who sends the rain when the earth is dry?
Somebody bigger then you and I.
Who lights the way when the road is long
and keeps you company.
With love to guide you He walks beside you
just like He walks with me.
When you are weary, filled with despair
who gives you courage to go on from there
and who gives you faith that will never die.
Somebody bigger then you and I.
Who lights the way when the road is long
and keeps you company.
With love to guide you He walks beside you
just like He walks with me.
When you are weary, filled with despair,
Who gives you courage to go on from there
and who gives you faith that will never die?
Somebody bigger then you and I
Somebody bigger then you and I
