Discuss Revelation 12 Page 28

Chris and others, consider this on remaining sinful or becoming free from sin after salvation.

Mt. 5:14-16 says about being the light, a city set on a hill, not to be hid. Those that are saved are to be seen and recognized for what God has done. We are to show through salvation from sin the example of what man should be. If your light is the same as those that are lost, how can it be seen? Through God's power I have become a saint, one that does not sin by salvation from sin and sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 2 separate acts that fully save a person. As said before, 1 Jn 3:8-9 says those in sin are of the devil or born of God sinless. I used to be under Satan's control. I used to sin because it was in my heart to do those sinful acts. Sanctification changes that sinful desire, it's rooted out, replaced with the Holy Ghost. It is a second separate act. The heart of man can't be left empty or you have the condition mentioned of in Mt 12:43-45.

We must accept that God as Creator could have set the rules for salvation to whatever He wanted. He requires us to repent to be forgiven. He needed us to be saved from sin or He can't fellowship as with Adam in the beginning. Sin always separates man from God. Is. 59:1-2 Sin keeps God from hearing your prayers except 1 of repentance. Being saved from sin is a way to see that person as different than others.

How many religions are there? Many. Are all right. No. God has one Church. It is listed in the Bible. Mt 16:18 Jesus said He'd build His Church, gates of Hell shall not prevail. Sin is not in His Church. Ac 20:28 1 Co 1:2 10:32 11:22 15:9 2 Co 1:1 Ga 1:13 1 Tim 3:5 1 Co 11:16 1 Th 2:14 2 Th 1:4 Church of God is named in the Bible, churches of God as there are more than 1 congregation but still the same standard in all. 1 Co 1:10 all speak the same. Same standard, doctrine for all God's congregations. Why the confusion of doctrine? Only 1 is right. Is your church named in the Bible? No then come out of Babylon Re 18:4.

Thank you Helene!

Thank you for prayers

Praying!

Please continue to pray for my 20 year old brother who is continuing to have trouble obeying the laws, his authorities, accepting what his answers are to the government, and most importantly, he will know and accept Jesus Christ. Please pray for my mom Meralinna and my dad Andyrick. They are not saved yet and I am getting really concern about all their salvation. My hope for putting this request is you all will pray with me to let them get saved. My younger sister who is 20 (and I am 25) is also saved. Please pray with me that they will all get saved. We all go to church, but my mom dad and brother all sit in the car while they let me and my sister go into church and listen to the Word of Jesus Christ. Please pray with me they will get saved.

Thank you

Sara J.

Daniel, you bring up some good points in this account of Lot & his family. Unfortunately, the whole story of Lot's life is not given to us (& this is not a cop out to excuse him or even to suggest something that's not written). So we can only guess what might have happened. We do know that the Apostle Peter ( 2 Peter 2:6-8) speaks of the righteous aspect of Lot, in that he was vexed by the wickedness of Sodom & Gomorrah, which might have meant that he did, in some small way, try to influence the people to turn from wickedness - he had some authority there in Sodom as he "sat at the gate of Sodom". Yet, Peter doesn't refer to what he did that we regard as sinful behaviour.

It's noteworthy, that in eastern cultures, certainly in times of the Old Testament, that when a guest comes to your house, he is regarded with the highest honour possible, both in receiving the best you have to offer as well as full protection. The only right thing for Lot to do when confronted by those depraved men at his door was to offer his daughters so that his guests would not be humiliated or hurt. I did wonder why Lot didn't offer himself - it would have been the more noble thing to do. I realize that this type of behaviour is a difficult concept for us to grasp & should not be used as an excuse for such sin, but that's how it was.

In regards to God dealing with Lot - we just don't know. Did God severely chastise him & judge him & ultimately relegated him to the abyss? Or, did Lot realize his great folly & cry out to God in repentance, having also been witness to his Uncle Abraham's sins of the past & possible repentance at the altar he made ( Genesis 12:12-20; 13:1-5)? We can only speculate, rather than condemn Lot & his daughters entirely. And we know that God never overlooks sin & judgement remains for those who spurn His Love by sinning. Yet His Mercy extends to all sinners & His Grace to fully forgive the penitent.

Be honest in god and be protected in jesus name ,what ever it comes i jesus name.

Please pray for me

Hi Claire, I think I misunderstood Ss' reply to you concerning the Church. Re-reading it shows that Ss also believed that the Church is the body of believers & not a building. Apologies.

Re: The Way Prepared. At their subject, 'Our Greatest Hindrance', the major part of that was highlighting that the Sabbath Day should still be the day that believers meet for worship. I'm unsure where you stand on this matter, but I think you are happy to go to your Fellowship on a Sunday or do you insist it be a Saturday?

The other subject I looked at on that Site, was 'What are the Ten Commandments'. In the most part, the instruction was correct, though with the emphasis to keep the Commandments as a duty in the Christian walk was not properly addressed & balanced. The material failed to take in, to whom the Commandments were specifically given, why they were given, & the Apostle Paul's discourses on the cessation of the commandments upon the advent of the New Covenant through Jesus' Blood. We can indeed be taught about God's requirements for Holy living from the commandments & other instructions to us, but to rest on them for our salvation & entrance to the New Jerusalem, I find erroneous. I can't go into detail here about this as it would require many pages, though, if you search on this Site, you might see some of the discussions we've had on it - both for & against.

David, you've given some great Scriptures about sickness, prayer & healing for the believer. I can't fault the Truth therein & its reality. The problem arises with the understanding of the sanctifying work of the Spirit. We've discussed this at length & I do understand your position on this, but I've yet to clearly see that the Spirit's Work in the believer includes the removal of sin & the sin nature.

As well, I don't share your belief that sin is only a spiritual illness. That sin, which finds its home in the carnal nature in man, has as its products, sickness, disease & death. No sin nature = no sin, sickness or death. But I stop here as we've beaten this matter to death though it has served to show me how other believers regard scriptural Truths. Thank you for your time, David, you are one of the few who have stayed the distance.

My granddaughter Julina is 18 and I am not sure she has been saved. Please ask God's angels to speak softly to her and urge her to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior and be baptized and urge her father to be also. She is a beautiful child and not sure where her or if her parents had directed her path to salvation whether it be my fault or theirs she deserves to be saved from her Grandmothers prayers for Generations and currently praying for a grandmother who realizes her shortcomings. Please pray for her salvation.

My nephew Avery Hoover is 16 and hooked on drugs. Please ask God to deliver him from this addiction and let him know that God loves him as his own and will save him from this life of evil and addiction if he will just ask. Pray for his parents Carol Ann and Dale to be delivered from depression and give them strength to be the parents God intended them to be.

Please pray for my only child Joey Hudman as he is sick with COVID. Not sure of his salvation but asking for healing in sickness and healing for him to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and to be saved. To be pulled closer to God in this time. I love him so and want him to be saved first and healed in Jesus Christ Holy Name.

Bishop,

I hope the grace of God will help you and your family get through this tough time.

Sara J.

I pray Dear Lord, you would give this family peace, love and understanding with one another. None of us is perfect; sometimes (often) we need to overlook transgressions of those near to us. Please show them mercy as they show mercy toward one another. Help them to draw close to You Lord and know your great LOVE for them. Give them obedient hearts and may their lives bring Glory to God! Praise You Father for Your arm is not too short to save them to the uttermost. Give them, please and thank you, understanding and wisdom. Most of all LOVE FOR GOD & THEIR neighbors as themselves. Thank you and praise you God - in Jesus Name I pray. AMEN

please pray that covid19 would be over and everyone can go back to regular things. please pray along with me.

HELL, do these scriptures prophesy HELL. God loves his enemies as he teaches us to love our enemies.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.



Psalms 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember, and turn unto the Lord, and all the kindred of the nations shall worship before thee.



Psalms 65:2 O Thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

Psalms 66:4 All the earth shall worship thee and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

I Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, WHO IS THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, specially those that believe.

Thank you all for the support!

Thank you so much may God bless you!
