I demand you that anyone should not add any unbiblical or unscriptural word which is Christianity, Theology, Trinity, which are truly not the Word of God according to the scriptures as it is not literally found and written in the King James Version Holy Bible Edition 1611. According to the scriptures of Colossians 2:8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
Deuteronomy 4:2
"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."
Deuteronomy 12:32
"What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it."
Proverbs 30:5
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him."
Proverbs 30:6
"Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar."
Isaiah 55:8
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD."
Isaiah 55:9
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Those, who claim to say that they are a theologian that is called philosophy or groups of philosophers because they practice their own theological or philosophical studies at their college or school or university about the scrolls or manuscripts of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic languages of the Holy Scriptures Books or King James Version Holy Bible. They claim to be called religious believers as Christians because of Christianity that contradicts God and His infallible and living and written Word that is Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
I knew a guy named Cecil at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. He adopted a 6month old baby girl that had been horrificly abused. I read your post several times. I closed the ap. Had to pray a little & think on your post. I haven't heard from our friend Cecil since I was a teenager. The MBAFB shut down shortly after those days & everyone moved away.
Cecil, GOD is Just. Have you heard of Moses? In Genesis, Abraham was promised several amazing things, a son from his 'wife', in their old age, etc. Gen. 12:2,3,7, but also that those heirs would be servant in strange land & afflicted 400 yrs. Genesis 15:12-13, if you read in depth you can find GOD's justice. Genesis 12:10-17, Genesis 16:1-16, Genesis 21:9-19 = it was in Egypt, Abraham's children of Sarah's son Isaac's offspring were afflicted.
Genesis 18, shows great mercy of GOD that if 10 righteous were in that land (Sodom & Gomorrah) it would've been spared. That's his Nephew Lot's friends & family. ?, Right here is proof the GOD interecedes on People's behalf when they obey HIM.
GOD's ways are not our ways, Isaiah 55:8,9,
We cannot blame GOD for wickedness of man = Genesis 6:5-6,
Yet GOD shows us mercy & unimaginable love, John 3:16-17, salvation through sacrifice, Psalms 18:25-27,
GOD is merciful, true & Just. If you read the books that go alongside Isaiah you'll get a clearer picture: 2Chronicles 36, Jeremiah 29, Jeremiah 51, Exodus 22:22, Isaiah 1:17, Isaiah 1:23, Jeremiah 7:6, Jeremiah 22:3, Ezekiel 22:7, Malachi 3:5, Zechariah 7:10, you can start with those verses because that's most of what GOD asked of Israel & Judah. Then please read the Books & chapters.
Then Babylon: 2Kings 20:12-18,19, Daniel 1, 2Kings 25:8-9, I stopped there because that's enough about the evil.
Hopefully these are helpful if you are trying to search for truth & understanding. You can also ask for wisdom James 1:5-6,21,
Hi Diana. I would say that a 'gay' person would be saved as any other sinner. First, to acknowledge that they are sinners like we all are - that a homosexual lifestyle is sin & unacceptable to God; then, to come to the foot of the Cross gazing upon the Holy One of God Who sacrificed His Life to make them clean & whole again. When we truly repent of our sin & old ways, pursuing after sinful thoughts & acts, then the Lord forgives & accepts us. Isaiah 55:7: "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." And that pardon is fully realized through His Son Who made it possible for all who turn to Him in faith & love.
And through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, our desires & lusts also change or removed when we wholly look to Him for power & deliverance. That is the chief work of God's Spirit: to conform us each day to the Image of Jesus ( Romans 8:29:
"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." Healing of mind, spirit & sometimes body begin to happen. Desires for same gender intimacy will fade away, with power to live a different lifestyle & for the Glory of God. The road may not be easy at first, but the Lord Who saves completely also has the Power to bring healing to sin-affected minds who now desire to only serve Him.

Abraham knew the Word of God, from oral transmission, since Adam, including the Promise done by God of an Eve's Descendent. Abraham look above this world's evil, up into the skyes and called for The Lord God Almighty, The Creator of All Universe, and because of that he became the faith's father.
Metusalm died before deluge, and was both, Enoch and Noah's contemporary. Noah cherished The Promise of a Descendent, that would come to destroy death's power, evil originator and all evildoers, for ever.
The oral transmission was solid, about the present truth, and cherished by Abraham.
Abraham was aware of his own need, for a closer relashionship with God. He called for God like Jacob and Moses, did later. God answered them all, according with His Love's Character. It'swritten. Anyone who comes to Me, wil not be forsaken and If you hear His Voice, Today, don't hardened your heart. May God help me and you, to remmember today and every day, Jesus's example and Word My food and drink is to do God's Will Faith comes by listening to God's Word, and sharing God's love with our neighbor.
God's Eternal moral Law, exists in God's mind, and before sin appeared in heaven in all angels's and Lucifer's mind too.
When it was necessary to remmember God's Authority and loving Charater, to His people, after 400 years's boundage, God Himself, wrote the Law, entrusting it to Moses. Jesus kept The Law as Paul and the other apostles and primitive church did. It was Constantin by emperor's authority that changed it, 300 years later. There has been allways a remnant's faithfull people, like Valdense's, keeping The Sabath Holy, as God commands, for ever, even on The New Jerusalym, as written on Esaia's last chapters.

Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"
Titus 1:2 "In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;"
-
The Bible says to trust Him, and not lean on our own understanding of how things should happen, or if certain promises should have applied to him, but didn't:
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
-
Only God knows the "hidden things of darkness" in the hearts of men (we can't know everything):
1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
-
And God's thoughts and judgements are infinitely higher than ours:
Isaiah 55:6-9 - 6Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
-
The Bible also shows us there are things that can shorten our lives - I obviously don't know if this specific verse applies, but as an example, having certain things in his heart and actions (even if it's not this particular verse) wouldn't be honoring the parents who raised him:
Psalms 55:23
"But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee."
Recently, I was pondering in my mind with the LORD about this account & I knew there would be a discussion about this. For some of us it's easier to fight, much more difficult to submit to circumstances beyond our control; especially when it's unjust. I relate with Peter. I was thinking how Peter had come to the realization the Jesus was the CHRIST, MESSIAH. Jesus had just said : Luke 22:27-30.
Is there much more knowledge we're supposed to get from this?
Luke 22:36, Luke 22:38, 2 swords enough? Do you think Jesus was being literal or testing them? Do you feel the act of aggregation saved the Disciples? John 18:8-9, ( I've thought that) but look at: John 18:10. "Then._." it seems to be after Jesus had already set their pardon.
Luke 22:40,42, Luke 22:43-46, Matthew 26:36-44, Mark 14:33-39, Zechariah 13:7, ( Mark 14:27 , Matthew 26:56 )
Matthew 16:15-27,
* Mark 14:27, offended? Matthew 26:33-35,
Mark 14:42-50, Luke 22:47-51, John 18:10-11, Matthew 26:50-52, Were they offended because Jesus didn't fight, nor let them? after He had said to get swords? Would we be offended if Jesus healed our enemy, we thought we were defending Him from? Then rebuke them/Peter or us openly? John 18:6, Matthew 26:53,
Luke 22:54, John 18:15, Why did Peter follow? Luke 22:33, Where is our strength? In our flesh & resolve, or GOD & HIS will?
Mark 14:29-31,
Luke 22:55-62,
Matthew 10:17-22, Matthew 10:28-34,
Acts 12:1-12,
Romans 8:34-39,
Ephesians 6:10-18,
Do you think it was much easier to fight? Matthew 26:41, Luke 22:32,
Psalms 114:4 The mountains (people) skip like rams, and the little hills (people) as lambs.
Isaiah 55:12 ...the mountains (people) and the hills (people) shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees (people) of the field shall clap their hands.
Half (not literally half, but signified) of the people will move to the north (not literally north, but signified). God in this AGE is not saving everyone, so some will be vessels of HONOUR and SOME vessels of DISHONOUR ( Romans 9:21).
Isaiah 55:11 go forth out of my (God) mouth : I have thought I could use this verse to use His word to encourage others, but now I see it must come from Him not me . What say you ?
Hi Dan, thanks for your comments. Please know that my response is given in love with my only intention to glorify the Lord.
I understand what you are saying about not turning down service providers based on if they are believers or not, I certainly would not turn down bypass surgery or roof repair because the provider was not a believer; however, those services are quite different than "spiritual" or "mind" service providers. Heart surgery or roof repair is not doctrine or the word of God and has nothing to do with salvation or living a Godly life or solving behavioral (heart) problems ( Jeremiah 17:9, Mark 7:20-23).
When it comes to obeying the Lord and following His word, psychology just seems to be a secular (and ungodly) look at behavior. It is an attempt to explain why we do things and what the solution is without referring to God and His word. Psychology is an invention from worldly men who denied Jesus Christ (people like Freud, Wundt, Jung, Skinner, etc). Some psychologists even merge the word of God and secular theory which seems unbiblical to me (we are to be set apart from this world - John 15:19, Romans 12:1-3, 1 John 2:15-17).
I guess what I am really asking is - to put it how you were phrasing it - if someone was 'sick' (spiritually) why would they go to a secular physician (psychologist) and not a spiritual physician (Jesus)? We even have a behavioral manual (the Word). The bible seems to continually say that the Lord and His word are sufficient, exactly what we need and that we should avoid the wisdom of men ( 2 Timothy 2:15-16, 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Peter 2:25, Hebrews 4:14-16, Isaiah 55:7-9). 1 Corinthians 2:11-16. When we become a Christian, we have the mind of Christ, which is spiritual - not worldly. Jesus is our counselor ( Isaiah 9:6) and he knows us ( John 2:25).
It seems that as a Christian we either believe that the word of God is sufficient for all spiritual problems or we don't.
BTW - this is not for me, it involves a family member.
I would like to add to the truth of what Sacha has shared and take it from verse 10.
Isaiah 55:10-13. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that ( it may give SEED to the sower, and BREAD TO THE EATER:)
SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
INSTEAD OF THE THORN SHALL COME UP THE FIR TREE, and INSTEAD OF THE BRIER SHALL COME UP THE MYRTLE TREE: and it shall be to the LORD for a name,( FOR AN EVERLASTING SIGN THAT SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF. )
Here you have an prominence on the word of God, Salvation is a revelation of God and the word of God is like rain that comes down from heaven, We should bud in response to the word and the Holyspirit in the same way the Earth responds to rain.
God's WORD WILL PROSPER AND ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH HE PLEASE!
Providing his word TRULY abides in us.
Remember the parable of the sower?
We also see the concept here in
1 Corinthians 3:6. I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
The bread reminds me of Jesus saying I am that bread which came down from heaven.
John 6:33. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
These passages is also why I believe Romans 6 references fruit barring rather than lost Salvation.
Hebrews 6:7-8 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Hi Robin , if you have already read Genesis you will know that because of Adams sin in eating the apple ,God cursed the ground so that it brought forth all kinds of weeds that make growing crops very hard physical work . So in v13 God is saying that the old curse of weeds which is a reminder of our sinfullness ,shall be done away with . The earth will be healed the same as we will be . There will be no reminders of our sinfulness in the earth . I hope I've explained that ok for you . Isaiah is my favourite Old Testament book . It's full of treasure , enjoy .
Brother Adam, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
The Word says MOST will see DEATH, not HELL.
The WAGES of sin (unbelief) is DEATH, the sins of the flesh are COVERED by the DEATH of Christ.
The WAGES of go and sin no more (belief) are IMMORTALITY (never ending LIFE in Christ, I AM truth and life).
All that ARE NOT TRANSLATED (you are born again BY the word of God) into the Kingdom of God (messengers of Spirit, with never ending LIFE, never ending TRUTH) WILL be raised back into their bodies of FLESH and JUDGED.
Malachi 2:7 For the (kingdom) priest's lips shall keep knowledge, and they (kingdom priest)that seek the law at his (the WORD's) mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of host.
Isaiah 26:9 ....with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy JUDGEMENTS are in the EARTH, the inhabitants OF THE WORLD will LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
His judgements are not NOW in the EARTH; he is calling out of this world those CHOSEN to be kings and priest in his kingdom to RULE and JUDGE the world.
After this happens and judgement comes, every knee will bow and every tongue will CONFESS HE IS LORD.
Confession is made unto salvation.
Traditions of man limits God's plan.
God WILL NOT BE LIMITED, His WILL, WILL BE DONE.
I John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father SENT the SON (THE WORD) to be saviour of the world.
Isaiah 55:11 So shall my WORD (the SON) be that goeth out of my (the Father's) mouth: it (my WORD, my SON) shall not return unto me VOID (incomplete or unfinished WORK), but it (my WORD, my SON) shall ACCOMPLISH that which I PLEASE, and it (my WORD, my SON) shall prosper in the thing whereto I SENT IT.
1 Corinthians 15:28 When ALL THINGS HAVE BEEN SUBDUED unto him, then shall the Son himself be subject to him who put ALL THINGS under him, that God (SPIRIT, LIFE, TRUTH) may be ALL IN ALL.
You can't RULE and REIGN with CHRIST if you don't BELIEVE Christ is going TO BE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.
Faith Just some things to help this person shift there thinking. There is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still. If you look at the world you can become depressed, if you look in a mirror you can become caught up in your looks or frailties or past failures if you turn your eyes upon Jesus the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His Glory and Grace. The past no one can change and the futures lies in either your belief in the world 5 senses or with Gods word walking by spiritual faith of Jesus Christ. In conclusion Phillipians 4:19 But my God shall[absolute tense] supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. In His Service
Hi fren , yes it dose say tho shall not kill , but , it means murder , or criminal homicide, or to lay in wait , the Greek word is " phoneus " , for God understands , crimes of passion, accidental death, an of course out right War ,.. please check the strongs concordance,.
Only God can pass judgement regarding who goes to hell.
Only God can look into the Heart. God will weigh the heart of each person, and will see everything about our lives, and with all of this, God can make the best judgement call.
I hope and pray, that anyone contemplating suicide will pause..and pray.
Pray directly to God in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, he will guide you in times of need, and put your life into his hands, and He will Heal and Comfort YOU.
One of the 10 commandments is "Thou shalt not Kill", dead people cannot ask forgiveness. There is people on this site that will try to go behind the Word of God and change it to fit their beliefs, but Gods Word will not change for me or anyone else. I will never understand why it is so hard for people to just take God and Jesus at their Word and believe it, instead of trying to add or take away! Man's opinions does not matter, we are begotten by the Word of God. This is to Faith's comment about suicide.
My answer is 'maybe'. For sure someone will go to hell if they have rejected Jesus. And if a Jesus-follower commits suicide it's like slapping Jesus in the face and spitting on Him. He died for you and you're saying you don't care. He gave you the gift of life and you're saying you don't care and you assume you know better than Jesus. Some want to numb their pain and escape. If that is the reason for wanting to end things there are so many better alternatives. People in a valley are often blinded to how many opportunities and possibilities there are in life. Things can change and change quickly. It starts with your own thinking and your own habits. If you change you, you can change your perception of reality. God gave you a gift and we're not supposed to bury it but use it to glorify God and serve others. God bless.
If you're not Christian, you will go to hell. There is no escape.
What you do as a Christian can cut off any plans the Lord had purposed for your life.
Psalms 39:4
LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.
JEREMIAH 29:11-13
For I know the thoughts that I think TOWARD YOU, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an EXPECTED end.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will HEARKEN unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Almost every trauma in our life, is temporary. If you will draw close to God again, ask Him to dim the memories that hurt so much. I did that, expecting nothing, but God did that for me. The pain is gone. Be brave and ask Him to dim what hurts.
If we commit suicide as Christians we stop the thoughts God had planned for us. Don't take your life. Give it to Jesus. Allow Him to give you a new purpose.
If you are bitterly lonely, get involved in life again. I find nursing homes a wonderful place to bring my joy to. I sit and read happy Psalms to people. After a few weeks, I ask them if they want to go with Jesus to their heavenly home. Some say yes. Some are already saved, but we pray for the Lords comfort. The Holy Spirit comes to do his work on their lives.
You go home feeling a little tired, but very blessed. Sometimes I buy greeting cards they can put by their bed.
God will heal your memories, but first you have to give them to Him. Forever.
Good morning brothers and sisters, as I place myself in a form of stillness and meditate on the word of GOD it gives a peace that surpasses the world's natural understanding for it can not comprehend it. We must be in the spiritual Realm to even tap in to the discernment to receive all that the Father has for us. Let's continue to walk by faith not by sight and trust GOD with all your heart for the things he is about to do now and in the future to come. Spend quiet time with HIM, HE will speak to your heart. Everyone have a blessed and prosperous week, I look forward to sharing more spiritual messages, and once again PLEASE GET VACCINATED protect yourselves and others, JESUS loves you all and so do I.

There are God's days. - 2 Peter 3:8
There are Creations days. - Genesis 1:5
God who created all things by JESUS CHRIST ( Ephesians 3:9)
Gave all his creation the same time in days which are, "The Evening and the Morning" light and darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Gen 1:5 (KJV)
The evening and the morning are all creation's days. (From Heaven and Earth to Angels and Men).
God's day is as a Thousand years.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2 Pet 3:8 (KJV)
When God told Adam, The day you eat thereof you shall surely die. - Genesis 2:17
The day God told Adam was in God's day.
How do we know?
Because Adam lived to be nine hundred and thirty years old and he died.
That's not a Thousand years.
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Gen 5:5 (KJV)
The Lord JESUS bless you.
I knew a guy named Cecil at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. He adopted a 6month old baby girl that had been horrificly abused. I read your post several times. I closed the ap. Had to pray a little & think on your post. I haven't heard from our friend Cecil since I was a teenager. The MBAFB shut down shortly after those days & everyone moved away.
Cecil, GOD is Just. Have you heard of Moses? In Genesis, Abraham was promised several amazing things, a son from his 'wife', in their old age, etc. Gen. 12:2,3,7, but also that those heirs would be servant in strange land & afflicted 400 yrs. Genesis 15:12-13, if you read in depth you can find GOD's justice. Genesis 12:10-17, Genesis 16:1-16, Genesis 21:9-19 = it was in Egypt, Abraham's children of Sarah's son Isaac's offspring were afflicted.
Genesis 18, shows great mercy of GOD that if 10 righteous were in that land (Sodom & Gomorrah) it would've been spared. That's his Nephew Lot's friends & family. ?, Right here is proof the GOD interecedes on People's behalf when they obey HIM.
GOD's ways are not our ways, Isaiah 55:8,9,
We cannot blame GOD for wickedness of man = Genesis 6:5-6,
Yet GOD shows us mercy & unimaginable love, John 3:16-17, salvation through sacrifice, Psalms 18:25-27,
GOD is merciful, true & Just. If you read the books that go alongside Isaiah you'll get a clearer picture: 2Chronicles 36, Jeremiah 29, Jeremiah 51, Exodus 22:22, Isaiah 1:17, Isaiah 1:23, Jeremiah 7:6, Jeremiah 22:3, Ezekiel 22:7, Malachi 3:5, Zechariah 7:10, you can start with those verses because that's most of what GOD asked of Israel & Judah. Then please read the Books & chapters.
Then Babylon: 2Kings 20:12-18,19, Daniel 1, 2Kings 25:8-9, I stopped there because that's enough about the evil.
Hopefully these are helpful if you are trying to search for truth & understanding. You can also ask for wisdom James 1:5-6,21,
Job 38:1-41, James 4:12,
* Hebrews 7:25,
And through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, our desires & lusts also change or removed when we wholly look to Him for power & deliverance. That is the chief work of God's Spirit: to conform us each day to the Image of Jesus ( Romans 8:29:
"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." Healing of mind, spirit & sometimes body begin to happen. Desires for same gender intimacy will fade away, with power to live a different lifestyle & for the Glory of God. The road may not be easy at first, but the Lord Who saves completely also has the Power to bring healing to sin-affected minds who now desire to only serve Him.
Metusalm died before deluge, and was both, Enoch and Noah's contemporary. Noah cherished The Promise of a Descendent, that would come to destroy death's power, evil originator and all evildoers, for ever.
The oral transmission was solid, about the present truth, and cherished by Abraham.
Abraham was aware of his own need, for a closer relashionship with God. He called for God like Jacob and Moses, did later. God answered them all, according with His Love's Character. It'swritten. Anyone who comes to Me, wil not be forsaken and If you hear His Voice, Today, don't hardened your heart. May God help me and you, to remmember today and every day, Jesus's example and Word My food and drink is to do God's Will Faith comes by listening to God's Word, and sharing God's love with our neighbor.
God's Eternal moral Law, exists in God's mind, and before sin appeared in heaven in all angels's and Lucifer's mind too.
When it was necessary to remmember God's Authority and loving Charater, to His people, after 400 years's boundage, God Himself, wrote the Law, entrusting it to Moses. Jesus kept The Law as Paul and the other apostles and primitive church did. It was Constantin by emperor's authority that changed it, 300 years later. There has been allways a remnant's faithfull people, like Valdense's, keeping The Sabath Holy, as God commands, for ever, even on The New Jerusalym, as written on Esaia's last chapters.

Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"
Titus 1:2 "In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;"
-
The Bible says to trust Him, and not lean on our own understanding of how things should happen, or if certain promises should have applied to him, but didn't:
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
-
Only God knows the "hidden things of darkness" in the hearts of men (we can't know everything):
1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
-
And God's thoughts and judgements are infinitely higher than ours:
Isaiah 55:6-9 - 6Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
-
The Bible also shows us there are things that can shorten our lives - I obviously don't know if this specific verse applies, but as an example, having certain things in his heart and actions (even if it's not this particular verse) wouldn't be honoring the parents who raised him:
Psalms 55:23
"But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee."
Is there much more knowledge we're supposed to get from this?
Luke 22:36, Luke 22:38, 2 swords enough? Do you think Jesus was being literal or testing them? Do you feel the act of aggregation saved the Disciples? John 18:8-9, ( I've thought that) but look at: John 18:10. "Then._." it seems to be after Jesus had already set their pardon.
Luke 22:40,42, Luke 22:43-46, Matthew 26:36-44, Mark 14:33-39, Zechariah 13:7, ( Mark 14:27 , Matthew 26:56 )
Matthew 16:15-27,
* Mark 14:27, offended? Matthew 26:33-35,
Mark 14:42-50, Luke 22:47-51, John 18:10-11, Matthew 26:50-52, Were they offended because Jesus didn't fight, nor let them? after He had said to get swords? Would we be offended if Jesus healed our enemy, we thought we were defending Him from? Then rebuke them/Peter or us openly? John 18:6, Matthew 26:53,
Luke 22:54, John 18:15, Why did Peter follow? Luke 22:33, Where is our strength? In our flesh & resolve, or GOD & HIS will?
Mark 14:29-31,
Luke 22:55-62,
Matthew 10:17-22, Matthew 10:28-34,
Acts 12:1-12,

Do you think it was much easier to fight? Matthew 26:41, Luke 22:32,

Isaiah 55:12 ...the mountains (people) and the hills (people) shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees (people) of the field shall clap their hands.
Half (not literally half, but signified) of the people will move to the north (not literally north, but signified). God in this AGE is not saving everyone, so some will be vessels of HONOUR and SOME vessels of DISHONOUR ( Romans 9:21).

I understand what you are saying about not turning down service providers based on if they are believers or not, I certainly would not turn down bypass surgery or roof repair because the provider was not a believer; however, those services are quite different than "spiritual" or "mind" service providers. Heart surgery or roof repair is not doctrine or the word of God and has nothing to do with salvation or living a Godly life or solving behavioral (heart) problems ( Jeremiah 17:9, Mark 7:20-23).
When it comes to obeying the Lord and following His word, psychology just seems to be a secular (and ungodly) look at behavior. It is an attempt to explain why we do things and what the solution is without referring to God and His word. Psychology is an invention from worldly men who denied Jesus Christ (people like Freud, Wundt, Jung, Skinner, etc). Some psychologists even merge the word of God and secular theory which seems unbiblical to me (we are to be set apart from this world - John 15:19, Romans 12:1-3, 1 John 2:15-17).
I guess what I am really asking is - to put it how you were phrasing it - if someone was 'sick' (spiritually) why would they go to a secular physician (psychologist) and not a spiritual physician (Jesus)? We even have a behavioral manual (the Word). The bible seems to continually say that the Lord and His word are sufficient, exactly what we need and that we should avoid the wisdom of men ( 2 Timothy 2:15-16, 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Peter 2:25, Hebrews 4:14-16, Isaiah 55:7-9). 1 Corinthians 2:11-16. When we become a Christian, we have the mind of Christ, which is spiritual - not worldly. Jesus is our counselor ( Isaiah 9:6) and he knows us ( John 2:25).
It seems that as a Christian we either believe that the word of God is sufficient for all spiritual problems or we don't.
BTW - this is not for me, it involves a family member.
I would like to add to the truth of what Sacha has shared and take it from verse 10.
Isaiah 55:10-13. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that ( it may give SEED to the sower, and BREAD TO THE EATER:)
SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
INSTEAD OF THE THORN SHALL COME UP THE FIR TREE, and INSTEAD OF THE BRIER SHALL COME UP THE MYRTLE TREE: and it shall be to the LORD for a name,( FOR AN EVERLASTING SIGN THAT SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF. )
Here you have an prominence on the word of God, Salvation is a revelation of God and the word of God is like rain that comes down from heaven, We should bud in response to the word and the Holyspirit in the same way the Earth responds to rain.
God's WORD WILL PROSPER AND ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH HE PLEASE!
Providing his word TRULY abides in us.
Remember the parable of the sower?
We also see the concept here in
1 Corinthians 3:6. I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
The bread reminds me of Jesus saying I am that bread which came down from heaven.
John 6:33. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
These passages is also why I believe Romans 6 references fruit barring rather than lost Salvation.
Hebrews 6:7-8 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Wonderful passage.
God bless.
The Word says MOST will see DEATH, not HELL.
The WAGES of sin (unbelief) is DEATH, the sins of the flesh are COVERED by the DEATH of Christ.
The WAGES of go and sin no more (belief) are IMMORTALITY (never ending LIFE in Christ, I AM truth and life).
All that ARE NOT TRANSLATED (you are born again BY the word of God) into the Kingdom of God (messengers of Spirit, with never ending LIFE, never ending TRUTH) WILL be raised back into their bodies of FLESH and JUDGED.
Malachi 2:7 For the (kingdom) priest's lips shall keep knowledge, and they (kingdom priest)that seek the law at his (the WORD's) mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of host.
Isaiah 26:9 ....with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy JUDGEMENTS are in the EARTH, the inhabitants OF THE WORLD will LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
His judgements are not NOW in the EARTH; he is calling out of this world those CHOSEN to be kings and priest in his kingdom to RULE and JUDGE the world.
After this happens and judgement comes, every knee will bow and every tongue will CONFESS HE IS LORD.
Confession is made unto salvation.
Traditions of man limits God's plan.
God WILL NOT BE LIMITED, His WILL, WILL BE DONE.
I John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father SENT the SON (THE WORD) to be saviour of the world.
Isaiah 55:11 So shall my WORD (the SON) be that goeth out of my (the Father's) mouth: it (my WORD, my SON) shall not return unto me VOID (incomplete or unfinished WORK), but it (my WORD, my SON) shall ACCOMPLISH that which I PLEASE, and it (my WORD, my SON) shall prosper in the thing whereto I SENT IT.
1 Corinthians 15:28 When ALL THINGS HAVE BEEN SUBDUED unto him, then shall the Son himself be subject to him who put ALL THINGS under him, that God (SPIRIT, LIFE, TRUTH) may be ALL IN ALL.
You can't RULE and REIGN with CHRIST if you don't BELIEVE Christ is going TO BE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.
Only God can judge.
I believe God can save anyone that he pleases.at anytime that he pleases, including someone that is a sinner and NOT a christian.
After all he is God, and he can show mercy on whomever he pleases.
Romans 9:15
"For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
Romans 9:18
"Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth."
We can look at the thief on the cross - that is now in paradise with Jesus - to really understand how God loves us.
God Bless
Thank you
Peace be with you
Only God can look into the Heart. God will weigh the heart of each person, and will see everything about our lives, and with all of this, God can make the best judgement call.
I hope and pray, that anyone contemplating suicide will pause..and pray.
Pray directly to God in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, he will guide you in times of need, and put your life into his hands, and He will Heal and Comfort YOU.
God Bless.
What you do as a Christian can cut off any plans the Lord had purposed for your life.
Psalms 39:4
LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.
JEREMIAH 29:11-13
For I know the thoughts that I think TOWARD YOU, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an EXPECTED end.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will HEARKEN unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Almost every trauma in our life, is temporary. If you will draw close to God again, ask Him to dim the memories that hurt so much. I did that, expecting nothing, but God did that for me. The pain is gone. Be brave and ask Him to dim what hurts.
If we commit suicide as Christians we stop the thoughts God had planned for us. Don't take your life. Give it to Jesus. Allow Him to give you a new purpose.
If you are bitterly lonely, get involved in life again. I find nursing homes a wonderful place to bring my joy to. I sit and read happy Psalms to people. After a few weeks, I ask them if they want to go with Jesus to their heavenly home. Some say yes. Some are already saved, but we pray for the Lords comfort. The Holy Spirit comes to do his work on their lives.
You go home feeling a little tired, but very blessed. Sometimes I buy greeting cards they can put by their bed.
God will heal your memories, but first you have to give them to Him. Forever.
Mishael
