Discuss Ezekiel 18 Page 4

I was hoping someone to have commented on ch.18:6 about "And hath not eaten upon the mountains". What's so bad about that, I wonder?

The Rapture - the raising of the Church into heaven ( 1 Thessalonians 4:17): is the next event on the prophetic calendar. The Rapture is when Christ comes back and takes every Christian that is still on this earth and resurrects all of those who have died and takes them to heaven with Him. In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8, Paul expresses that the Lord's return will be like a thief in the night. No one knows the date or time. However, there are several signs of the End Times that we can all be aware of. Events such as earthquakes and diseases, war and dispute among nations, and persecution against Christians are all signs leading to the Rapture.

Cesar, read also Ezekiel 18:23 and Ezekiel 33:11. Mishael is also spot on with the good commentary.

Hi Carleton! Just thought I'd add one little detail to the aborted babies in danger of not going to heaven. We can all stop worrying about their souls. From mine studies I saw in Psalms and Proverbs, scriptures about the life of preborn children. Their substance is not hid from God.

In fact, Ezekiel 18:4 - Behold, ALL SOULS ARE MINE; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

The Bible even says that in the womb, their days are recorded in a Book.

All of the aborted children (preborn), miscarried and stillborn, death by accidents or murder: their souls go to heaven immediately.

If we can see Jesus's response to the Pharisees comments and the disciples trying to pull the kids off of Jesus .... we will know that Jesus loves children: everything about them. I just believe every child taken by trauma are with Jesus in heaven now. They're alive somewhere. It's too heartbreaking to think of their lives being erased out of that Book. It's contrary to what we know about the character of Jesus.

Mark 10:13-16

And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

There was a study on numbers 10-20 years after abortion was legalized, in the papers. The price of college went up 29% every year, due to reduction of college entrants. It's still going up every year. Ask anyone paying off student loans.

Not only that, but there is less people to pay taxes to support unemployed, under-employed, Medicare, social security, just to name a few.

It's like another sign of the times we are living in.

Talk to you tomorrow, Brother.

You can use the empty search box on the KJB website: type in 'Antichrist' and it will list other verses you should read.

Write them down so you can share with friends and family, you want to be in heaven with you.

A Pastor just said in a sermon, that watching the DVD named, The Passion: really shows how Christ suffered so we could be saved. God save you. Amen.

Mishael

Louie, No, the sins of your grandparents nor of your parents or anyone else, can ever be held against you. We are all accountable to God for the sins we commit.

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die." Ezekiel 18:20,21.

And even though "the wages of sin is death" ( Rom 6:23), "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

We are all guilty before God for our own sins & it's only by our faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, that we can be saved from its awful penalty. However, the genes that are passed on to us from our parents, etc. can include characteristics that are not always wholesome. Other times, it's not just the genes, but also what children see & learn from their parents that cause them to err later in life. What a great responsibility parents have: they can't remove the genes they pass on, but they can demonstrate good living & teach their children to do so, especially according to the Bible. Yet, we still have to deal with our weaknesses & failings in these areas, in the Power that Christ has given us.

Ezekiel 18 has been one of my favorite chapter in Scriptures, because it reminds me and assures me that my Lord will judge me by who I am and not for who I was, that my righteousness is solely in my hands and in my power. Knowing that my God is a just god gives me comfort in my life knowing His words...his promises...his assurances in Ezekiel 18.

In this verse of Ezekiel 18:30 God is not making us a new heart but we are responsible to making us a new heart for Him.

God is not doing all the perrishing it is man doing all the perrishing by their: sin, unbelief, abominations and shame to the words of the bible. God's will that no man perrish, however man has a different mind ask Noah. Ezekiel 18:23. If God loves everybody he sure never mentioned it in the bible neither did Jesus preach a thing. The love of God is 100 conditional love. The word "WHOSOEVER"

Keira, et al By hardening Pharoah s heart, it means that the Lord squeezed his heart, and forced him to show his true colors, i.e. his hatred of God and his unbelief. Read Ezekiel 18:23.

I believe that when the Bible say's it is appointed unto man once to die, it is not referring to a physical death because Lazarus died twice, Enoch never died and neither did Elijah (as examples) I believe it is referencing a soul death. Ezekiel 18:20 states that the soul that sinneth, it shall die..thus the need for man to be "born again", that's my interpretation based on what God's tells me

In this Chapter it is obvious that man is responsible for his own ways before God. Also that God gives us years of life and opportunities and the power to choose the good and avoid the evil, shows His understanding and mercy upon our childish minds and selfishness, allowing space to consider and repent. We are made to be good and righteous, and the commandment is to prepare us for giving account.

When you are employed to sin your pay check is death. The soul that sinneth shall surely die, not maybey, will die whatsoever a man sow he shall reap.Whether it's sin or righteousness Romans says shall we continue in sin that grace may abound, God said no, but if you sow unto righteousness ye shall live, Jesus said blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.

God and Father of Jesus never changes, Ezekiel 18:4"The soul the sinneth it shall die" Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death," ((hell fire and brimstone)) it pays to serve the devil it pays to sin your wage or payment is called death. All sin is of the devil period 1st John 3:8 no such scripture as "He that commith sin is of God" all sinners will burn Rev 21:8 unless they get righteous.

Verse 2: The Israelites were blaming the suffering that they were dealing with on their forefathers actions. The Israelites were doing wicked things and were suffering as a result, but they refused to take responsibility for their actions.

Though it seems we are waiting a long time for God to act, vs. 32 shows us that Jehovah God's patience is out of love. He takes no pleasure in having to exercise justice and destroy the wicked. He wants us all to take time to come to know him an live our lives according to his will so that we can live. Truly, God is Love.

disciple: The soul that sinneth, it shall die--- Ezekiel 18:20

This scripture indicates that each person is accountable for himself/herself and must come to know God for himself/herself. Therefore no one is to blame for the life we live. We will all be judged according to our decision on whether or not we accept Christ as our Saviour and live our life according to His laws.

all in all no matters what we do every man has to deal with their own conseqeunces n we still serve a God n action

Vikki, It is true, scripture speaks for itself. Man's opinion means nothing. Understand God's righteousness from our righteousness Romans 10:3-4
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

God does not approve of those who take part in the abominations which are so prevalent in this fallen world. But, He makes sure to point out that our fallen state is not permanent, and urges us to repent. For if we repent, despite all the wrongdoings we have committed, we will be saved through His grace. Additionally, those that have followed His commandments are already saved.

only when the time comes you take the mark and have to worship satan or die. worship God and die. even if you are saved at that time if you take the mark you will loose your salvation. but you would have to be left behind unsaved and then get saved and then take the mark and then you lost it. just can not take the mark at all ever. die saved and go to heaven

@Vikki Mumford
According to these scriptures, and according to Matthew 24:13, a person can lose their salvation. Once saved always saved is not a true teaching of the Bible. Thus the whole point of "judgement day", when we will have to stand before Jehovah God, and he we deem us worthy of salvation. We ourselves can not do that.

In John 6:37 Jesus says "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." Later in the chapter in verse 44 he also says "no man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." However, that is not a free pass to do whatever you want, sin, and it'll all be ok. Live as Christlike as u can.

Vikki Mumford, Yes, it is possible to loose salvation.This is the warning of Exekiel 18. Matthew 22:14"For many are called, but few are chosen."Also: 2 Peter 2:21,2 Timothy 3:5, Galatians 4:9, Romans 8:28-31,etc. Believe God's word, and let no man deceive you. God loved Solomon a righteous man and he lost his. I hope this helps. Let scripture interpret scripture. Man's opinion means nothing!

In other words, can one lose his salvation?

Whatever you sow thou shall surely reap. Every one shall be judge in accordance to their deed, then, do good and do not be yoke with the vanity of this earth which you see or have today and tomorrow they are not

If the soul dies why is there judgment as defined in the Book of Revelations. Why are all who are judged to be with devil and his angels for eternity cast into the lake of fire?

Ezekiel 18 is a powerful word from God. We today need to focus training and teaching children what is right in the eyes of Lord. To treat everyone right, to teach God's statues by living it every day of lives. do what is right and live!!!
