Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Ezekiel 33:11-20

( Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 12:35-36 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

( 2 Peter 2:20-22 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

What was satans name before he was the devil

In the beginning God created heaven and the earth.

2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second days.

9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13And the evening and the morning were the third days.

14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18And to rule over the d

No, it doesn't say trumpet, it say "trump"; that makes a world of difference. The trumpet sounds, one of those sounds is called a trump. Has nothing to do with the seven trumpet in the book of revelation. READ IT MORE SLOWELY.

Acts 17:32

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

Comment: people will buy paintings of the Godhead and decorate their walls.

Romans 1:20

For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN, being understood by the things that are made (us), even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead BODILY.

Comments by me. Genesis 1:1 is clearly understood. God Wills; Jesus (The Word) speaks; the Holy Spirit performs. "Time. Force. Action. Matter". Four things all scientists have tried to explain throughout time. Earth is the only planet that has water.

Christians have the mind of Christ. We're all enabled to see the Godhead at work; on earth and in our lives. How? The Holy Spirit indwells us in our born again spirits and teaches us the Word of God. Seek and you will find.

If we can just read the Bible and accept what is written in it; believe, apply to our lives; and like little children do: believe what God says about Himself. If you doubt or debate, you're in a ditch. Your faith is a shipwreck.

God is on the Throne. Jesus sits at the right hand of God, making intercession for The Saints of God. That's us. The Holy Spirit is present on Earth, PERFORMING what is in the mind of Jesus Christ.

How hard is that to understand? The Godhead works together every moment. A Bible ENCYCLOPEDIA shows all of the Holy Spirits names. There are many. Learn all of them. Praise and worship that He is at work in your life. Do not grieve or quench the Holy Spirit.

Amen to your comments! False doctrines everywhere, if it don't line up with the Word of God, it is false! The Word of God plainly states that when the last trumpet sounds the dead in Christ shall rise first; you can not rise up if you are already up there. If people would believe Gods Word, and live it just the way he tells us to, instead of adding or subtracting from it to fit their way of life; we would see a lot more bright light instead of just sparks in this dark world. God Bless!

If you reject commentators' understanding of Matthew 11:16,17, how do you then understand those verses?

I generally accept a comment, if made by one well studied in the Scriptures & who gives it a good support/defence, but leave the matter open till the Spirit reveals otherwise. So what I'm saying is, let's not discount all commentaries as I believe many of them have much to teach us as well, that will help us in understanding the Bible better. Otherwise, one should refuse to attend a Fellowship as the preacher offers a verbal commentary to us.

The Peace Prayer by John Michael Talbot on Youtube. It's just a song by a singer. Nothing else.

I hear the sweetness of Jesus in your words. It is always ok to ask Jesus for more: more light, a deeper understanding, a window into His heart to see the love He has for all people.

To be a part of His body; in the body of Christ: his hands, his feet, his ear to hear the cries of people in need or lost in spiritual darkness. There's a song I sing: ' Lord make me an Instrument'. It's on YouTube.

May the Lord show you every answer that you seek; and give you a hunger for more.

I once read a commentary ,when i was quiet young and hadnt read all the Bible yet ,that tried to tell me that Matthew ch 11 v 16 & 17 were about a game that children in the mid east must have played ,it waffled on for about two pages making all kinds of presumptions and assumptions and guesses about theses two verses ,im done with commentaries and have been for many years ,i trust what God says not what people say ,i by no means understand everything in the Bible and i dont expect i shall in this life but ever time i read it i feel like i put one more piece in a very big jigsaw puzzle and i see just a little bit clearer ,as long as that still happens on a regular basis i am happy but thankyou for your advice ,we are not all the same and we dont have to be ,may God continue to bless you every day .

Jesus was not Begotten by any earthly father. The begotten are whom born through normal biological relationship with their father and mother. Jesus was conceived by Holy Spirit in the Mary's womb. Joseph never knew Mary.

I read commentaries sometimes. There is a Commentary Search link on this website.

Lots of Bible students use it. We use Bible Dictionary, Concordance, History, Multiple Commentaries, and other "helps".

A serious student uses what is available. If you street evangelize, you have need of being enabled to give an answer for what you believe; along with a huge amount of Grace and Mercy.

The more we know, is a pool of Living Water the Holy Spirit has, to draw the lost to the Savior of their souls. Like the woman who met Jesus at the well. She ran to her neighborhood and told them, "COME SEE A MAN!! Who told me all of my life history." The entire community was saved, as a result. That is remarkable and worth remembering.

Apologies. Mishael

I meant genetically of course.

Joseph and Mary were both chosen to be Jesus's parents. Why is it so easy to be offended when the details are recorded in scripture? I was not disputing anything. I'm sorry you were upset by my comment.

I wrote that a little wrong. Jesus was not "begotten" by and earthy father.

Hello Gary,

I'm sure what Mishael was stating is only that Jesus was not "conceived" by a human father or man. The Holy Ghost conceived Mary and He was born of a virgin. God in Heaven was His only real Father. Joseph the Carpenter was His earthy "dad" as I'm sure Mishael knows.

God Bless.

Skip wikipaedia on everything ! pick your bible up and start reading it ! do not rely on people to tell you about god ! read it aaaall for yourself !

I think that's why some Bibles call the Gospels, the Harmony of the Gospels.

Twelve disciples witnessed the same events, but some differ because of age, occupations they had been in, experiences. The Books were written at different times. Yet, they harmonize with each other. Amazing!

Jesus knew Judas would betray Him. There is a prophesy in Psalms that was fulfilled when Judas did it.

You can Google up charts of all the prophesies in the Old Testament, and on the New Testament; that Jesus would fulfill in his life. The odds of that happening is more than all the stars in our universe! One life achieved all of that. How anyone can deny that, is without an excuse on the day of Judgment.

The charts show the prophesy scriptures, and on the same line, the scripture where Jesus fulfilled it.

You'll want to save those in your bookmarks or read list on your Google page.

Mishael

Hear are a few: James 1:1-27 and James 4:7-17. Pray, read the Word of God, ask Jesus for strength, and endure! God Bless, and I will remember you in prayer!

Joseph was undoubtedly Jesus earthly dad. You are totally wrong about that. Read Matt 1. Jesus earthly genealogy starts with King David and also with Adam in Luke 3:38. Please stop thinking carnally and be inspired by the Holy Ghost.

Proverbs is a Book of wisdom in many areas of life, for both sexes. Proverbs 31 describes a godly woman. The Book of Ruth and the Book of Esther, again, women we can learn from.

Genesis 24 is a great book for those in search for a mate.

I Corinthians chapters 5 through 7: sometimes called the marriage chapters by some. It covers sexual impurity also.

I asked my son in his teens, do you want to marry a virgin, or a girl who was "experienced"?

He didn't ponder long, he said a virgin!

I'll tell the story a female teacher said once at church. It was about why God covered the woman inside with a hymen. It was a proof of virginity, but it also serves a purpose: It protects against diseases. You're not going to get STD's if you're saving yourself for marriage.

Our culture teaches the exact opposite. They try to force kids to choose gay, straight or in between in grade school. You can choose Jesus. That takes a lot of courage and inner strength.

A good marriage candidate (a man) is going to honor her choice to wait, and will protect his virgin.

That was my take on the story in Genesis 24. If only the Church would teach that. You read it and tell me what you think about it. I'm kinda old lol

Googling that question is a rabbit path. Skip Wikipedia on that.

One of Jesus's brothers was named James. Another one named Jude, wrote the Book of Jude.

Jesus did not have an earthly dad. The Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and she (being a Virgin: before, during and after; conceived Jesus (he called himself the Son of Man)

The Zebedee brothers, John and James, became disciples.

back up to verse 13 that's the subject of the whole thing where it says if you believe Jesus died and rose again you better believe everybody else has risen also and he will bring with him.

As a born again Christian you are flesh, you have a soul, your spirit is alive in Christ. ( a triune being.)

When your flesh body dies it is buried by family or it remains where it fell dead.

God says in Scripture that "all souls are Mine." It is in heaven.

Your spirit ascends into heaven to be with Christ, until the Rapture.

At the moment that Jesus appears in the clouds and calls up all those who are deceased, graves will open and the body will join Jesus first. The resurrection body of flesh, soul and spirit will be restored. In the twinkling of the eye.

Next those who are alive, will join Jesus in their resurrection body that will be changed instantly.

Billions of people will be with Jesus! Jesus will instantly take us to heaven to attend the wedding supper of the Bridegroom. All those who were invited to attend, who received salvation, will be at this celebration.

There will not be last minute invitations sent out. We have to accept salvation before this happens.

It's a mystery we will all be a part of: those that were born again. John chapter 3. No amount of money or tears of regret, will enable the unsaved to attend the Marriage Supper. All believers will be The Bride of Christ.

Is one last beer party or sex sin worth missing out on eternity with relatives, friends, children; who had already passed on and are awaiting us joining them?

I mean no offense or hurt, when I say that all children who died by illness, accident, murder, or abortion, will be in heaven too. There will be no sorrow or sadness: just joyful reunions. I lost a child and I'm looking forward to meeting that baby I named and had so many plans for.

There will be no more sorrow; just joy unspeakable! Everyone on earth is invited. Why not accept the invitation TODAY? John 3 will tell you how. Find the link on this website to "Become a Christian."

Dear Melvin,

That's a good question. I personally trust what the Bible says over what men say. I'm 100% certain that we will not go to heaven until judgment day first occurs, and I'm certain that day won't come until Jesus first returns to earth, and I'm certain that the scriptures that say the dead will rise and meet him in the air is true. The Bible also refers to people who are dead as being 'asleep', and I believe that to those who die it will seem like a second and they will be meeting Jesus and awaiting Judgment. So, I believe it's untrue for people to tell others they immediately go to heaven- they often ignore all the other verses and focus on only 3 to support that theory, which are often misinterpreted. They say Jesus said in this day you will see me in paradise- but 2 things: Jesus can make exceptions for whomever he wants, and second, paradise isn't necessarily heaven, but may be the waiting place before judgment. Then they say Paul said apart from the body with the Lord, but 2 things: 1. It doesn't say it, it says Paul would "rather" be with the Lord, he didn't say in 100% of all cases if you are dead that you are automatically with the Lord. If that was true, what about people who go to hell- are they "with the Lord" too? Also people who die may not be separated from their bodies yet. And finally they say, yeah, but Elijah went to heaven. God can do whatever he wants- Moses had a talking bush- does that mean you get one? Noah built an ark- does that mean everyone has arks? Just because God gave someone extra attention doesn't mean it automatically applies to 100% of all people, all the time. It's interesting how some assume that concept applies to some verses, but not others.

When you continue to read scripture and you see verses like Daniel 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and it's hard to not just take it literally and believe exactly what it says. I believe what God says over what any man says.

Was Matthew a solder of James

Scripture to help/inspire against temptation. I am 15 year old girl. Im a true believer and love our saviour Jesus. To help me against drug, sex, lying. Any proverbs/psalms for a teenage girl facing temptation.

Hello all,

Question: Are the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament written by divinity or are they simply written from recollection by the disciples from their experiences with Jesus?

Here's something I don't understand as a new christian. I was told that when I die , I'll go to heavan. But the bible says when JESUS comes back HE'LL call them from the grave first and then those who are left on earth next. How will HE call from the grave when we're already with him.
