John 14:13 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
You mention that you can't fall off a roof you are not on. That is true. You also cannot fall off a roof if you and are permanently secured to an anchor point. Sure, I can unhook myself and jump off, but I use the word permanently because Christ has sealed me with His Spirit, and that is permanent. I'm permanently secured to Christ and can never be separated from Him. If I decide to walk away, He goes with me because He says He will never leave me nor forsake me.
There are three verses I must consider, Deuteronomy 31:6, 31:8, Joshua 1:5, and Hebrews 13:5. These verses tell me that Jesus will never leave me nor forsake me. Sure, you might say I can leave Him, but if I leave, where does Christ go? Will He leave me? I must take Him at His word.
Now here's how great the Greek text is. In Hebrews 13:5, it says "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." What a beautiful statement. What a beautiful promise. You see, here's something we don't get from our English text, but in the Greek text, just in this statement alone, there are 5 negatives.
The word never represents two negatives. Whenever a writer in Greek uses two negatives, he's talking about an impossibility. Jesus says, "I will never," in other words, it will be impossible for Me to leave you. And then He says, "Nor forsake you." Now the word forsake comes with three negatives, so this gives us the five negatives. The only way a person can lose salvation is if Christ leaves them, and that's never going to happen according to Him.
Hi Joyce, I just wanted to encourage you and let you know that God will never leave you, that is what the bible says. Although it may feel like He is far away sometimes, He isn't. Sometimes He is silent, that is true, but He is always there. Don't worry, Jesus loves you. Once you are saved, you can't be unsaved. The Lord has not forgotten about you, He died for you. I hope this encourages you, I will continue to pray for you.
1 Corinthians 14:33. "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
Deuteronomy 31:8 "And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
John 14:13 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
Dear Jesus, He only wants good for us. And of course He will help you. And "Dandre McKenzie" we are ALL young on the path. No one is fully educated. But perhaps there is a lack of boldness for many ppl, They should pray for boldness in the Spirit. (boldness has a great reward). Joh 16:33 Deuteronomy 31:6 and 31:8 Then He will prove that you are faithful and He will show His invisible power! Hallelujah He likes it. As long as you stick to God's Word you are on the safe side. A little reminder to you, you should leave your everything to the Lord. For the Holy Spirit will guide you in all things if you allow it. Rom 8:26 Then we have affirmative words like: Heb 4:12Mat 28:18
Eph 1:17 Sal 91:11-12 There are so many fine words like Heb 4:12 When the Spirit comes to our rescue, it is often words from the Bible that we receive. The words save us if we are in trouble, the Word of God free us from whatever it may be. Be it in conversations with other non-believers and in conversations with believers, and for us. Believe in Jesus and you will be saved, says Jesus. Mat 9 You need to read and understand the Word of God so that it comes like streams of water, flowing out of you, in love for ppl and what Jesus has done for you. And we pray, Dear God the Mighty and Powerful God that He strengthens you on your way. That He will never leave you, and that He heals your body and soul in all things. We humbly pray before You Lord who has all power in heaven and on earth for the one sacrifice once for all on Calvary. Who set us free from the law and the works of the law in Jesus Christ's Holy Name, Amen. Freely we have received this gift, and freely we will give it to the glory of Jesus Christ. Be blessed, brother. With Love in Chist Jesus, stand strong and careful, and take care of your heart before everything else. I hope some of this can help you on your path. Never lose hope and always be happy love u in Christ.
I pray Jesus that Mimi will have all of your wisdom for her academics in the name of Jesus! I pray Jesus that Mimi's mother will have the financial breakthrough and healing that she needs from you in the name of Jesus! I pray Jesus that Mimi and her family will have your hedge of protection in the name of Jesus! That no weapon formed against Mimi will prosper and that all evil assignments and strongholds will be rebuked in the name of Jesus! Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble, for the Lord you God is with you wherever you go." Thank you Jesus that you are so wonderful and infinite in power. I pray that your love Jesus flourishes and overflows over Mimi and her family and friends. I am keeping you in my prayers. Let me know if there is anything else I can pray with you about. God Bless.
Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Where it says, "let your conversation," it's literally a statement, the manner of life. The manner of life is without covetousness;
Whether you apply it to the track star, or to walking with Christ, it's all the same. The manner of life of the believer is without covetousness, which literally means without a love for money. The love for money is not even part of the Christian life.
And be content, literally, while being content, and there's actually two different directions here, staying away from covetousness, while at the same time being content with such things as you have: for he has said, a quote from Deuteronomy 31:6, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. This quote is from Genesis 28:15, Deuteronomy 31:6 and Joshua 1:5.
I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. This quote actually has 5 negatives in it. Number one, I will never leave thee. The word never represents two negatives. When a writer in Greek uses two negatives, he's talking about an impossibility. I will never, it will be impossible for me to leave you. Nor forsake you. The word forsake comes with three negatives. Now the word leave means to leave upon someone else's request. And the word forsake means to leave upon his own prompting.
So, here's what it is saying:
I will never leave you if you ask or tell me to. Nor will I ever, ever, forsake you. I will never leave you. Now that's quite a promise! Because after you're saved, and there are some who have been there, and they say Lord, why don't you just leave me alone, let me just go. But the Lord says I will never leave you, even if you tell me or ask me to. Nor will I ever, ever, leave you based on my own decision.

I stand in agreement with the believers petition before God.
In the name of Jesus, I speak into existence JOY LOVE PEACE, PROTECTION, SUCCESS, LIFE. You are not a curse (the devil is a lair) you are a child of God; you are a child of a king. In the name of Jesus, your enemies and dark days will be a page in the past. God wants the best for you, he promised he will never leave nor forsake you ( Deuteronomy 31:8). Rebuke bad and speak good. You can and will be happy in the name of Jesus. I pray God shows you your worth and more. AMEN.

My answer: Prayer and requests will prevail for me and West Angeles Church Cogic Cathedral
I agree with you, and you are not alone. My understanding, the soul is a living being human or animal. We see this first in Genesis 1:20 the word creature is the Hebrew word nephesh meaning a soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, and emotion. Genesis 2:7 By the breath of life Adam became a living soul, not given a soul.
The breath of life is our spirit given to us by God for when this breath leaves us, we are a dead soul, asleep. This breath, our spirit is what goes back to God, every man or woman regardless of faith, Ecclesiastes 12:7. In Scripture the dead are in the grave, not in heaven or hell and it is called sleep, Deuteronomy 31:16Job 17:13-16 and many more.
We have an earnest of the Spirit a downpayment, we are sealed, so, we are sealed until when? Until redemption, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22Ephesians 4:301 Corinthians 15:51-55, resurrection for those elects, chosen, and faithful we see in Rev 17:14 and Rev. 20:4-6. This is when we will be absent from this mortal body and be with the Lord.
The soul is who we are, and our conscience is the recorder of our life that is in the books that are open for the rest of the dead not in the first resurrection, Rev. 20:11-15, The ones written in the book of life will receive their glorified bodies and the rest will be cast into the lake of fire.
My understanding from my studies is the immortal soul and the meaning of death being a separation of the soul from the body does not come from scripture it comes from the Greek philosophers Socrates, 400 BC, Plato, and Aristotle. Later Augustine 354-430 AD adopted it, teaching death meant the destruction of the body, but the conscious soul would continue to live in either a blissful state with God or an agonizing state of separation from God.
Just a little, if the soul, that is who we are is immortal, that means death does not exist.
Monica, first you need to recognize that this is spiritual warfare EPHESIANS 6:12. I know this because the Bible says God will not leave you or forsake you.
The devil is the father of lies and he would love you to accuse God and let go of your faith. Remember for example how satan deceived Eve in the garden.
God is merciful and not willing that any should perish. His mercies are brand new every morning, like the sunrise!
If you have not been living right and are being chastised by the Lord that's a good thing. Repent and renew your relationship with Jesus Christ.
Rebuke the lies of the enemy. He knows that God will never leave you or forsake you. They are lying spirits. Remember that God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son to save us.
Thank and praise Him for that. He's a good good Father who loves you!
Please do not let satan cause you to declare these accusations against the Lord. Ask God to forgive you.
I went through this too awhile back when I was seeking restoration. I had to encourage myself with scripture. God doesn't give up on His children. That contradicts His character. Think about that.
We're living in the last days and we've got to encourage one another to cling to the Lord with everything we've got.
Here are some scriptures to memorize. Write them on index cards and tape them to your cabinets, walls, etc. Keep them in front of your eyes!
Genesis 3:1-4
John 8:44
Deuteronomy 31:6-8
Ephesians 6:12
Hebrews 13:5
Hebrews 4:16
As for anxiety and depression, they are spiritual. Ask God to show you how to defeat them in the spirit. How to overcome. You are not alone most people have battled with these.
Scripture is how Jesus fought the enemy. Remember Ephesians 6:11, put on your armor daily. You must walk in the spirit.
I say these things with much love and to encourage you, my sister in Christ, in Jesus name. You will overcome. Plead the blood of Jesus.
Anonymous, I just heard a song and it reminded me of you so I wanted to share it with you. It's by Rascal Flatts (tho they support thing not of the bible, the song is great), it's call "I will stand by you." If you don't or can't listen to music search the following scriptures: were God says; I will stand by you- Ephesians 6:11, He will dry your eyes- Rev 21:4, I will fight your fight- Exodus 14:14 & I will hold you tight & won't let go- Deuteronomy 31:6 .Prayers to you again, and always!
First I would ask if you have a personal relationship with Jesus. I know what is like to deal with death of parent. Both of mine has gone home to be with God. Grief is different for each person along with the time to get through the grief. Hopefully have a support system or have a resource to help you through.
Please Lord comfort Miss K as she is dealing with grief and anxiety. Please Holy Spirit enrich her with Your spiritual fruit that peace will flow in to her heart. Please Jesus strengthen her daily with Your Grace that she will be a testimony for Your Glory I pray!!
If you have a Bible, please consider meditating on these scriptures: Psalms 46, 91, 121, Isaiah 41: 10-13, Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:8-9.
Dear Savanna B, the key to your peace is to trust Him. He said it best in His Word.
Ps. 56:3 "What time I am afraid, I will trust in You."
Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Romans 8:37-39 "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
And remember, it says in Philippians 4:13, you "...can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth..." you.
Old Testament law: Deuteronomy 16:16, Exodus 34:23,24, Deuteronomy 31:11, Exodus 23:17, the dates of calendars have changed even the Hebrew / Jewish calendars. Moses through GOD established the beginning of the year to be the Passover, no calendar today honors that. Exodus 12:2, Exodus 12, Numbers 28:16,
Jesus honored these things, along with His parents (on earth) Luke 2:22,23, Luke 2:41-49, John 4:45, John 5:1, John 10:22,23, even those who opposed Jesus expected Jesus to honor the appointed days : John 11:54-57, John 12, Even facing His own brutal death: Matthew 20:17,18 , Mark 10:32,33,34 do you think HE knew He was the Lamb,: Luke 2:38, Luke 18:31, that was going to be slain for Passover? That's why HE told them, as HE obediently set his face to go? Luke 9:51,
Matthew 21
Micah 6:6-8,
John 4:21-24, 2Corinthians 6:2, 2Colossains 2:16,17, Hebrews 10:1-19, Matthew 18:20,
Growing Up Strong with Gods Word - In Reply - 3 years ago
Read these. Note these verses on the back page of your Bible. It's ok to write in it.
2 Corinthians 12:10
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 13:9
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 2 Timothy 3:16 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Comment: The only way to get strong is to rely on Jesus and the Bible. He is THE WORD OF GOD.
Mankind's knowledge can only go just so far. FAITH in Jesus can build you up on the inside.
It only works properly when you ask Him to come and be Your Savior. Read all of John chapter 3. When Jesus is talking about the wind, he is speaking of The indwelling of the Holy Spirit inside of you; in your heart. He teaches you what scripture means.
There is a link on the red entrance page BECOME A BELIEVER, that will walk you through the steps to Salvation, and Receiving the Holy Spirit. It helps you know what to expect.
It will grow your Faith. Jesus doesn't fail us. We__fail us. Everyone comes to the Lord the same way. We learn it by feeding on what we learn by reading the Bible, every day.
I used to read my Bible at lunch and eat the lunch I made. My body was nourished on the food; and my soul and spirit were fed by reading the Bible.
I promise that you'll get stronger every day. Think about attending church services. One that teaches Bible; not psychology. Come back here for fellowship, often.
Your reference to including the 7th day weekly Sabbath in with the Mosaic sabbaths (plural) included in ordinances of the Law of Moses does not stand up to close scrutiny.
The italic of the 'days' in verse 16 emphasizes the plurality of the multiple sabbaths in the law of Moses which is distinct to the Moral 10 commandment law of God.
Most respectfully your reference to Colossians 2:14-17 is a mish mash including an implied reference to Hebrews chapters 10:1 and a misrepresentation of Colossians chapter 2's application only to the law of Moses..
The entire paragraph starting at Colossian 2:14 and ending in verse 17 clearly shows that the reference Paul is making is limited to the 'Handwriting of ordinances' which was contrary to us, nailing it to His cross'. The reference confirmed in verse 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days" is a clear reference to the law of Moses and limits this reference only to the Law of Moses and NOT the Moral 10 Commandment Law of God.
How do we know this for sure? Because the Law of Moses was:
Written by Moses using a scribe who wrote on paper using handwriting of The book - Deuteronomy 31:24
Contains the codes for ordinances & ceremonies (including feast & Holy days etc), sacrificial ceremony, health, civil laws, treatment of animals, treatment of slaves etc - Leviticus 18: 3 & 4, 1 Corinthians 9:9
Whereas the 10 commandment Moral of God makes no reference to Drinks, meat offerings, ordinances, new moons or an holy day and does not contain multiple sabbaths - but the Law of Moses contains ALL of these.
The reference you make to Colossians 2 verse 17 again confirms that this cannot refer to the Moral law of God and therefore cannot include the weekly sabbath as being nailed to the cross.
How so? Because as you say it was 'a shadow' - this shadow of a law concept links this scripture verse 17 with Hebrews 10:1
Exodus 25, is where/when the Bible 1st describes the Ark of The Covenant / Testament. Exodus 26 is the detailed description of it's strict rules of being set within the holy place and the most holy, sanctified, behind the veil Exodus 26:33, then Exodus 30, Exodus 31, Exodus 35, Exodus 37, Exodus 39, Exodus 40,
Leviticus 16:2, is where the LORD warns, there are/were strict rules, even risk of life going before the Ark of The Covenant / testament,
Numbers 3 & Numbers 4, explains the care of the Ark & all things regarding the Temple; had dedicated people, & their children, that specifically looked after covering for items, even carrying them. Example: Numbers 4:5-15 note again threat of death in Numbers 4:15, & Numbers 4:16-20,
1Samuel 5, 1Samuel 6, 1Samuel 6:19, remember the rules, GOD specifically said. 2Samuel 6:3-7, 1Chronicles 13:10, 1Chronicles 15:2-3, 1Chronicles 15:12-15, there are more examples._..if you would like more, let me know.
Significant that during the crucifixion of JESUS Christ our Savior that holy veil was torn: Mark 15:37-39, Luke 23:42-47, Matthew 27:50-51,
This is a fascinating thing. I heard a sermon one time saying the words spoken about "if someone sees the face of GOD they cannot live" he said "they cannot live, the same" Is this the question you're looking deeper into? Genesis 32:20,30, Exodus 33:11, Exodus 34:28-30,35,
It would be very interesting to do a study on the words. Exodus 3:6, Exodus 33:20,23, Numbers 6:25, Deuteronomy 5:1-5, Deuteronomy 31:17,18, Deuteronomy 32:20, Deuteronomy 34:10, Judges 6:22, 1Kings 13:6, 1Chronicles 16:11, 2Chronicles 7:14, 2Chronicles 30:9, Psalms 13:1, Psalms 17:5, Psalms 22:24, Psalms 105:4, Isaiah 54:8, Isaiah 59:2, Jeremiah 21:10, Ezekiel 20:35,
Perhaps it's the word "man" that the emphasise is. Romans 8:14, Galatians 4:6, Hebrews 12:7, John 1:12, Philippians 2:15, 1John 3:1,2 , 1John 4:15, How sad it is when a living father says "see his face no more" or turns his face.
Genesis 3:8-10, interestingly, in this translation it says they heard "the voice of the LORD" they "hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God"
What's amazing is: Genesis 4:16, it appears even though they were cast out of the garden GOD's presence was still with them.
I hope that a couple of the Scriptures I share here may be of help to those in this quandry of whether to continue with treatment or not. If they are believers, hopefully they will find special grace to bear up & wisdom to know how to proceed. Often, being fully cast upon the Lord for His healing & availing of medical help can go hand-in-hand. I don't think that it's a demonstration of a lack of faith to continue with medical treatment as we trust the Lord for directing the minds & hands of our medical fraternity, and ultimately, it is the Lord Who heals, gives life or takes it away.

(Part 3):
You mention that you can't fall off a roof you are not on. That is true. You also cannot fall off a roof if you and are permanently secured to an anchor point. Sure, I can unhook myself and jump off, but I use the word permanently because Christ has sealed me with His Spirit, and that is permanent. I'm permanently secured to Christ and can never be separated from Him. If I decide to walk away, He goes with me because He says He will never leave me nor forsake me.
There are three verses I must consider, Deuteronomy 31:6, 31:8, Joshua 1:5, and Hebrews 13:5. These verses tell me that Jesus will never leave me nor forsake me. Sure, you might say I can leave Him, but if I leave, where does Christ go? Will He leave me? I must take Him at His word.
Now here's how great the Greek text is. In Hebrews 13:5, it says "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." What a beautiful statement. What a beautiful promise. You see, here's something we don't get from our English text, but in the Greek text, just in this statement alone, there are 5 negatives.
The word never represents two negatives. Whenever a writer in Greek uses two negatives, he's talking about an impossibility. Jesus says, "I will never," in other words, it will be impossible for Me to leave you. And then He says, "Nor forsake you." Now the word forsake comes with three negatives, so this gives us the five negatives. The only way a person can lose salvation is if Christ leaves them, and that's never going to happen according to Him.
1 Corinthians 14:33. "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
Deuteronomy 31:8 "And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."

Eph 1:17 Sal 91:11-12 There are so many fine words like Heb 4:12 When the Spirit comes to our rescue, it is often words from the Bible that we receive. The words save us if we are in trouble, the Word of God free us from whatever it may be. Be it in conversations with other non-believers and in conversations with believers, and for us. Believe in Jesus and you will be saved, says Jesus. Mat 9 You need to read and understand the Word of God so that it comes like streams of water, flowing out of you, in love for ppl and what Jesus has done for you. And we pray, Dear God the Mighty and Powerful God that He strengthens you on your way. That He will never leave you, and that He heals your body and soul in all things. We humbly pray before You Lord who has all power in heaven and on earth for the one sacrifice once for all on Calvary. Who set us free from the law and the works of the law in Jesus Christ's Holy Name, Amen. Freely we have received this gift, and freely we will give it to the glory of Jesus Christ. Be blessed, brother. With Love in Chist Jesus, stand strong and careful, and take care of your heart before everything else. I hope some of this can help you on your path. Never lose hope and always be happy love u in Christ.
Rom 7:1-6
Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Where it says, "let your conversation," it's literally a statement, the manner of life. The manner of life is without covetousness;
Whether you apply it to the track star, or to walking with Christ, it's all the same. The manner of life of the believer is without covetousness, which literally means without a love for money. The love for money is not even part of the Christian life.
And be content, literally, while being content, and there's actually two different directions here, staying away from covetousness, while at the same time being content with such things as you have: for he has said, a quote from Deuteronomy 31:6, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. This quote is from Genesis 28:15, Deuteronomy 31:6 and Joshua 1:5.
I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. This quote actually has 5 negatives in it. Number one, I will never leave thee. The word never represents two negatives. When a writer in Greek uses two negatives, he's talking about an impossibility. I will never, it will be impossible for me to leave you. Nor forsake you. The word forsake comes with three negatives. Now the word leave means to leave upon someone else's request. And the word forsake means to leave upon his own prompting.
So, here's what it is saying:
I will never leave you if you ask or tell me to. Nor will I ever, ever, forsake you. I will never leave you. Now that's quite a promise! Because after you're saved, and there are some who have been there, and they say Lord, why don't you just leave me alone, let me just go. But the Lord says I will never leave you, even if you tell me or ask me to. Nor will I ever, ever, leave you based on my own decision.

COME THY LORD JESUS
"There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." Joshua 1:5 KJV
"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." Deuteronomy 31:6 KJV
I stand in agreement with the believers petition before God.
-I love you, be strong
[14] And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: [15] and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
Answer:
Deuteronomy 31:8 KJV
[8] And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

I agree with you, and you are not alone. My understanding, the soul is a living being human or animal. We see this first in Genesis 1:20 the word creature is the Hebrew word nephesh meaning a soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, and emotion. Genesis 2:7 By the breath of life Adam became a living soul, not given a soul.
The breath of life is our spirit given to us by God for when this breath leaves us, we are a dead soul, asleep. This breath, our spirit is what goes back to God, every man or woman regardless of faith, Ecclesiastes 12:7. In Scripture the dead are in the grave, not in heaven or hell and it is called sleep, Deuteronomy 31:16 Job 17:13-16 and many more.
We have an earnest of the Spirit a downpayment, we are sealed, so, we are sealed until when? Until redemption, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Ephesians 4:30 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, resurrection for those elects, chosen, and faithful we see in Rev 17:14 and Rev. 20:4-6. This is when we will be absent from this mortal body and be with the Lord.
The soul is who we are, and our conscience is the recorder of our life that is in the books that are open for the rest of the dead not in the first resurrection, Rev. 20:11-15, The ones written in the book of life will receive their glorified bodies and the rest will be cast into the lake of fire.
My understanding from my studies is the immortal soul and the meaning of death being a separation of the soul from the body does not come from scripture it comes from the Greek philosophers Socrates, 400 BC, Plato, and Aristotle. Later Augustine 354-430 AD adopted it, teaching death meant the destruction of the body, but the conscious soul would continue to live in either a blissful state with God or an agonizing state of separation from God.
Just a little, if the soul, that is who we are is immortal, that means death does not exist.
God bless,

The devil is the father of lies and he would love you to accuse God and let go of your faith. Remember for example how satan deceived Eve in the garden.
God is merciful and not willing that any should perish. His mercies are brand new every morning, like the sunrise!
If you have not been living right and are being chastised by the Lord that's a good thing. Repent and renew your relationship with Jesus Christ.
Rebuke the lies of the enemy. He knows that God will never leave you or forsake you. They are lying spirits. Remember that God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son to save us.
Thank and praise Him for that. He's a good good Father who loves you!
Please do not let satan cause you to declare these accusations against the Lord. Ask God to forgive you.
I went through this too awhile back when I was seeking restoration. I had to encourage myself with scripture. God doesn't give up on His children. That contradicts His character. Think about that.
We're living in the last days and we've got to encourage one another to cling to the Lord with everything we've got.
Here are some scriptures to memorize. Write them on index cards and tape them to your cabinets, walls, etc. Keep them in front of your eyes!
Genesis 3:1-4
John 8:44
Deuteronomy 31:6-8
Ephesians 6:12
Hebrews 13:5
Hebrews 4:16
As for anxiety and depression, they are spiritual. Ask God to show you how to defeat them in the spirit. How to overcome. You are not alone most people have battled with these.
Scripture is how Jesus fought the enemy. Remember Ephesians 6:11, put on your armor daily. You must walk in the spirit.
I say these things with much love and to encourage you, my sister in Christ, in Jesus name. You will overcome. Plead the blood of Jesus.
Thanks,

Please Lord comfort Miss K as she is dealing with grief and anxiety. Please Holy Spirit enrich her with Your spiritual fruit that peace will flow in to her heart. Please Jesus strengthen her daily with Your Grace that she will be a testimony for Your Glory I pray!!
If you have a Bible, please consider meditating on these scriptures: Psalms 46, 91, 121, Isaiah 41: 10-13, Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:8-9.
Ps. 56:3 "What time I am afraid, I will trust in You."
Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Romans 8:37-39 "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
And remember, it says in Philippians 4:13, you "...can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth..." you.
God bless and keep you!
Jesus honored these things, along with His parents (on earth) Luke 2:22,23, Luke 2:41-49, John 4:45, John 5:1, John 10:22,23, even those who opposed Jesus expected Jesus to honor the appointed days : John 11:54-57, John 12, Even facing His own brutal death: Matthew 20:17,18 , Mark 10:32,33,34 do you think HE knew He was the Lamb,: Luke 2:38, Luke 18:31, that was going to be slain for Passover? That's why HE told them, as HE obediently set his face to go? Luke 9:51,
Matthew 21
Micah 6:6-8,
John 4:21-24, 2Corinthians 6:2, 2Colossains 2:16,17, Hebrews 10:1-19, Matthew 18:20,
Hopefully these are helpful
2 Corinthians 12:10
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 13:9
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 2 Timothy 3:16 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Comment: The only way to get strong is to rely on Jesus and the Bible. He is THE WORD OF GOD.
Mankind's knowledge can only go just so far. FAITH in Jesus can build you up on the inside.
It only works properly when you ask Him to come and be Your Savior. Read all of John chapter 3. When Jesus is talking about the wind, he is speaking of The indwelling of the Holy Spirit inside of you; in your heart. He teaches you what scripture means.
There is a link on the red entrance page BECOME A BELIEVER, that will walk you through the steps to Salvation, and Receiving the Holy Spirit. It helps you know what to expect.
It will grow your Faith. Jesus doesn't fail us. We__fail us. Everyone comes to the Lord the same way. We learn it by feeding on what we learn by reading the Bible, every day.
I used to read my Bible at lunch and eat the lunch I made. My body was nourished on the food; and my soul and spirit were fed by reading the Bible.
I promise that you'll get stronger every day. Think about attending church services. One that teaches Bible; not psychology. Come back here for fellowship, often.
b. Colossians 2:16
Your reference to including the 7th day weekly Sabbath in with the Mosaic sabbaths (plural) included in ordinances of the Law of Moses does not stand up to close scrutiny.
The italic of the 'days' in verse 16 emphasizes the plurality of the multiple sabbaths in the law of Moses which is distinct to the Moral 10 commandment law of God.
Most respectfully your reference to Colossians 2:14-17 is a mish mash including an implied reference to Hebrews chapters 10:1 and a misrepresentation of Colossians chapter 2's application only to the law of Moses..
The entire paragraph starting at Colossian 2:14 and ending in verse 17 clearly shows that the reference Paul is making is limited to the 'Handwriting of ordinances' which was contrary to us, nailing it to His cross'. The reference confirmed in verse 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days" is a clear reference to the law of Moses and limits this reference only to the Law of Moses and NOT the Moral 10 Commandment Law of God.
How do we know this for sure? Because the Law of Moses was:
Written by Moses using a scribe who wrote on paper using handwriting of The book - Deuteronomy 31:24
Contains the codes for ordinances & ceremonies (including feast & Holy days etc), sacrificial ceremony, health, civil laws, treatment of animals, treatment of slaves etc - Leviticus 18: 3 & 4, 1 Corinthians 9:9
Whereas the 10 commandment Moral of God makes no reference to Drinks, meat offerings, ordinances, new moons or an holy day and does not contain multiple sabbaths - but the Law of Moses contains ALL of these.
The reference you make to Colossians 2 verse 17 again confirms that this cannot refer to the Moral law of God and therefore cannot include the weekly sabbath as being nailed to the cross.
How so? Because as you say it was 'a shadow' - this shadow of a law concept links this scripture verse 17 with Hebrews 10:1
Exodus 25, is where/when the Bible 1st describes the Ark of The Covenant / Testament. Exodus 26 is the detailed description of it's strict rules of being set within the holy place and the most holy, sanctified, behind the veil Exodus 26:33, then Exodus 30, Exodus 31, Exodus 35, Exodus 37, Exodus 39, Exodus 40,
Leviticus 16:2, is where the LORD warns, there are/were strict rules, even risk of life going before the Ark of The Covenant / testament,
Numbers 3 & Numbers 4, explains the care of the Ark & all things regarding the Temple; had dedicated people, & their children, that specifically looked after covering for items, even carrying them. Example: Numbers 4:5-15 note again threat of death in Numbers 4:15, & Numbers 4:16-20,
Note Numbers 7:89, Deuteronomy 10:5,8, Deuteronomy 31:26, Joshua 3:13-17,
1Samuel 5, 1Samuel 6, 1Samuel 6:19, remember the rules, GOD specifically said. 2Samuel 6:3-7, 1Chronicles 13:10, 1Chronicles 15:2-3, 1Chronicles 15:12-15, there are more examples._..if you would like more, let me know.
Significant that during the crucifixion of JESUS Christ our Savior that holy veil was torn: Mark 15:37-39, Luke 23:42-47, Matthew 27:50-51,
* Hebrews 10, Hebrews 9,
Please read Hebrews 10 whole chapter
Hopefully these are helpful
It would be very interesting to do a study on the words. Exodus 3:6, Exodus 33:20,23, Numbers 6:25, Deuteronomy 5:1-5, Deuteronomy 31:17,18, Deuteronomy 32:20, Deuteronomy 34:10, Judges 6:22, 1Kings 13:6, 1Chronicles 16:11, 2Chronicles 7:14, 2Chronicles 30:9, Psalms 13:1, Psalms 17:5, Psalms 22:24, Psalms 105:4, Isaiah 54:8, Isaiah 59:2, Jeremiah 21:10, Ezekiel 20:35,
Perhaps it's the word "man" that the emphasise is. Romans 8:14, Galatians 4:6, Hebrews 12:7, John 1:12, Philippians 2:15, 1John 3:1,2 , 1John 4:15, How sad it is when a living father says "see his face no more" or turns his face.
Genesis 3:8-10, interestingly, in this translation it says they heard "the voice of the LORD" they "hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God"
What's amazing is: Genesis 4:16, it appears even though they were cast out of the garden GOD's presence was still with them.
Psalms 139, Job 4:15,

I hope that a couple of the Scriptures I share here may be of help to those in this quandry of whether to continue with treatment or not. If they are believers, hopefully they will find special grace to bear up & wisdom to know how to proceed. Often, being fully cast upon the Lord for His healing & availing of medical help can go hand-in-hand. I don't think that it's a demonstration of a lack of faith to continue with medical treatment as we trust the Lord for directing the minds & hands of our medical fraternity, and ultimately, it is the Lord Who heals, gives life or takes it away.
