ALL things were made by him: and without Him, was not anything made, that was made.

amen

great comments

a treasure

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word is God

The same was in the beginning with God.

ALL things were made by him: and without Him, was not anything made, that was made.

Verse 14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.

I don't see how you can write these things and not believe Jesus made it. This is mockery.

He came to fulfill the things written of him not everything..read luke 24:44 acts 3:18

Willie, in Matthew 5:17,18, Jesus spoke to His disciples concerning the full meaning & requirements of God's Laws. Jesus spoke about the preciousness of God's Laws & that not one of them would be removed until they were completely fulfilled. We know that the Law was given to God's Chosen, the Jews, as one of the marks of identification with Him. But it was given not only for their understanding of their relationship to their Creator, but also in their relationship to their fellow men. And they soon found out that they couldn't fully obey God's Laws because they were sinners & had no hope to obey Holy Laws. So every year sacrifice was made by the High Priest on their behalf for their sins.

So, all these Laws, including those that applied to their ceremonies, sacrifices & moral behaviour, were given as a temporary measure as God planned for the future when His Son, Jesus Christ, would come into the World to be the Perfect & Final Sacrifice for mankind's sins ( Rom 5:6). Also read Romans 8:3.

Then what you're reading in Mt 5, is Jesus saying that He had come to fulfil God's Laws: He fulfilled prophecy given about Him & alone could completely obey God's Laws & therefore would never need to sacrifice for Himself, simply because he never sinned. In fact, His Love was so great for us, that He willingly became the sacrifice in death in our stead - for our sins: He became our Substitute, our Saviour to save us from sin's penalty which is eternal death. So, if Jesus perfectly fulfilled God's Laws & became our Sacrifice, then all who believe in Him through His Blood, are also now freed from the curse of the Law ( Gal 3:13). In other words, if we still want to obey the 'old Law' to satisfy God or contribute to God accepting us, then Christ's death is counted as nothing. However, Rom 8:4 says, that "the Righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us"; the letter of the Law failed, but the Law of the Life giving Spirit (8:2) is put in our hearts to help us correctly obey God.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

please explain this verse

God is telling us how strong our faith must be for loving someone we havent seen or havent heard but to them that keep the faith what a glorious day it will be I'm keeping the faith

I looked at the commentary on this website.

You should be seeing basically what the verse means. We can also google too.

It says Paul was up in years and we know he had been abused every way imaginable by all kinds: especially Jews. Yes he tells us to avoid what they are yelling, etc.

Don't invite them to your church or meetings unless they are believers in Jesus!

The commentary refers us to the Book of Galatians for more information on this.

My comment: God has a plan for the resistant Jews; but it will not be in force until the fullness of the Gentiles is completed.

I like a book by Arthur E Bloomfield;

written in the 70's but read it alongside today's daily news and your mouth might drop.

*Before The Last Battle (Armageddon) 1971

*Understanding Revelation (2002)

*Signs Of His Coming (Olivet Disclosure) 1962

*How to Recognize The Antichrist (1975)

He has other books: early 70's

End of Days: Daniels Vision

The Changing Climate (Bible Story of Water)

These books are very inexpensive and easy to obtain from my favorite bookseller:

AbeBooks. They're not easy to find locally.

Lavan, this Scripture only applies to conduct within the Church Body. A heretic is someone who attends a Fellowship but wilfully rejects or opposes the established doctrines/teachings of the Church. And this was very important especially in the early Church as there were a lot of other divergent doctrines entering in (e.g. gnostic teaching) that attempted to water down or introduce new teaching that would lead believers away from the Truth.

So Paul was warning Titus about this matter (along with other warnings) that a heretic should be first warned first but if he refuses to repent & come back to apostolic teaching, he should be rejected (maybe dis-fellowshipped or being avoided altogether).

Hi, I want to know does verses 10-11 apply to all disagreements or just a scripture.

Anyone who have been taught the scriptures and have read them should know that what they are reading and what they have been taught is the true Word of God and that we should believe and obey the Word of God. To reject the scriptures when someone tries to share them with you is utterly destruction for that person's soul. God tells us that " If we love Him , we will obey Him. " " God's children know His voice". If we reject the child of God , who was sent to warn us about our sinful actions, not only are we rejecting the messenger but we are rejecting God; we are condemning our own souls! God does not condemn us- He does not have to- it is mankind that makes the choice of sinning against God with no remorse because the heart has been seared with a hot iron.

Russell Rose on Hebrews 13:17. In Titus 3:1 and Romans 13:1 we are told to be good citizens. However, that doesn't mean we have to tolerate tyranny. God has given us the ability to govern. In the US, for example, men, guided by God and Biblical principles, put that ability to work and developed the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. As long as the people in charge of government implement its precepts properly, we ought to form a part of it, support the government and work to improve it.

However, when governments, and that also applies to churches and other organizations, depart from those principles, it is up to us to point it out, speak up and rectify it. See Nehemiah 9:27 and Esther 4:14. Christ worked within the established Roman and religious rules in Israel. However, He also pointed out the contradictions that existed within the religious order of the Jews. Christ wasn't a revolutionary, because He came with a Mission. His Mission was not Social Reform. His Mission was the total defeat and annihilation of death, corruption, evil, pain, suffering and idolatry (exalting other things in place of God).

SC, you are a HERECTIC.

From a Greek word signifying (1) a choice, (2) the opinion" "chosen, and (3) the sect holding the opinion. In the Acts of the" "Apostles (5:17; 15:5; 24:5, 14; 26:5) it denotes a sect, without" "reference to its character. Elsewhere, however, in the New" Testament it has a different meaning attached to it. Paul ranks heresies with crimes and seditions ( Gal. 5:20). This word also denotes divisions or schisms in the church ( 1 Cor. 11:19). In " Titus 3:10 a "heretical person" is one who follows his own" "self-willed "questions," and who is to be avoided. Heresies thus" came to signify self-chosen doctrines not emanating from God ( 2 Pet. 2:1).

Improper understanding of heresy will condemn you to hell.

Heresy is not the same as Error. It is a Choice to abandon widely accepted teaching on an essential doctrine (such as the Trinity of God) and embrace one's view (yours being that the Holy Spirit is FEMALE / the Mother of the Godhead.

Heresy is to preach ANOTHER gospel, as Paul stated in Galatians 1:9.

You are deceived most likely by some militant female teaching or cult of them.

If you google CULTS, even google knows it probably involves religion. I speak for myself: you don't need to come here seeking converts. Twitter is available for heretics. I'm sure there are Facebook groups that are heretic.

I hope you rethink what's best for you? The Antichrist will make you offer up your hand or your forehead for the MARK of the BEAST. Then you will be forced to bow your knee to WORSHIP him as GOD. You won't have choices anymore! If you take that Mark, you will still go to hell. If you kill yourself, you'll go to hell.

The only option that offers Life Eternally, is renouncing heretical beliefs and receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

For informative: APOSTASY is leaving and renouncing religion; renouncing Jesus as Savior.

But none of these things could ever save, for it is written, "There is none righteous, no, not one:" The only way to Heaven is to forsake your righteousness and place your trust in what God did for you when he sent his son to die on a tree. Titus 3:5,

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;"

The gospel: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

If you trust in anything else besides Paul's gospel to get you to Heaven, then you're on your way to hell.

Hello Irene..yes Acts 2:38 is the New

Testament salvation thru faith & obeying the gospel. How are you doing sis Irene?

That was me in above name Mark B. I just realized that misspelled letter) Be strong in Christ.

I wish we could come to some kind of truce about how much trouble Israel has heaped upon themselves for allowing Jesus to be crucified?

It was PROPHESY. It all happened as the Godhead Wrote it. Through Jesus's suffering He set the new Covenant in motion until the mystery be completed: until the fullness of the Gentiles.

Rom. 11:11 ...have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather..through their fall...salvation is come unto the Gentiles (WHY?) for to provoke them (the JEWS) to jealousy.

For if the casting away from them be THE RECONCILING of the WORLD...what shall be the the RECEIVING of them be...but life from the dead?

Verse 26: And so ALL Israel SHALL BE SAVED

Verse 27: For this is MY COVENANT unto them (Israel) , WHEN I shall take away their sins.

Verse 28: As concerning the gospel (birth, life, death, resurrection of Jesus) They are enemies (now) FOR YOUR SAKES (us).

BUT as touching the election, they are BELOVED for the fathers sakes (plural) Deuteronomy 9:5.

They're OUT now and we are IN. God did that all by Himself. Didn't need any of us to debate the soundness of His Decision. Why indeed should any of us Gentiles shed a tear for 6 million Jews who were murdered? Well, they were on the outs so it's ok?

Is there anybody who will stop a minute and pray a prayer God asked us to do?

Psalm 122:6, 121:4, 125:5

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem (not a suggestion)

God is not willing that any of us perish but that we'd all come to repentance: which means to turn around and walk away from what's holding us back. Backsliding simply means to stand still and go nowhere.

Forgive me for saying this, but there are people coming in here who need help.

TITUS 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, genealogies, and contentions and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

God show us your heart always, and to esteem others with meekness and friendship.

If something is on the civil law books as illegal; we are actually told in the New Testament to obey those who have rule over us: such as Goverment, State laws, etc. It's in the Bible. These are the scriptures I was thinking of: Titus 3:1-2 and Hebrews 13:12. We are still supposed to obey God's laws too.
I like to drive the speed limit and you'd think I was breaking a law the way people act going around me :/

I didn't think I was leading others to return to the Law. If something is on the civil law books as illegal; we are actually told in the New Testament to obey those who have rule over us. It's in the Bible. These are the scriptures I was thinking of: Titus 3:1-2 and Hebrews 13:12.
All States vary in their interpretation of what incest entails. Penalties vary as well. Some are quite strict.
Conversationally, I don't want my tax dollars to be used to fund poor women's abortions. Citizens need to vote, rally or petition Government to initiate laws to stop hijacking tax money for it. Make Choice bear that burden.

Amen Irene. Acts 2:38-39 is the New Testament salvation as we follow the teaching of Jesus. Always with love.

He probably meant Titus 3:10

Read the following verses about the New Birth - John 3:5 Titus 3:5 1 John 3:9 1 John 5:18 1 Peter 2:1-2 1 John 4:7 1 John 5:4 Your Theology is a bit wrong, Brother when you say there is no New Birth. I'm not the first one to teach it - Jesus did.

for verse 8: good works profitable for men women...that they may see your good works and glorify your father who is in heaven Matt 5, these are the things to strive for and go a long way to showing the world the Love of God at work in you. Unlike the "works" in verse 5!

Verse 3~Many are being led as slaves to their own desires. It is important to cultivate self-control and not become a slave to our sinful desires.

All That is Listed is of God. Whosoever Resisteth The Powers that are Ordained of God, Shall Receive to Themselves Damnation. For Rulers are Not a Terror to Good Works but to The Evil( Romans 13:1-14) Put Them in Mind to be Subject to Principalities and Powers to Obey Magistrates, Speak Evil of No Man, For You were Sometimes Foolish and Disobedient etc. ( Titus 3:1-15) Christ Died For Your Sins

Note how in Titus, God our Savior, and Jesus our Savior are spoken of almost interchangeably. This may be true somewhat of other books or letters, but it stands out here in a very obvious manner.

Romans 10:9,- That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ( Titus 3:5) Not by works of rightousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.

Titus 3:10, an heretic reject after the first and second admonition.

Read Titus 3:5

Not by works of Righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Gost; Titus 3:5 Jesus did it all, all we have to do is believe 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and take Paul's Gospel that Jesus gave him through a revelation. Jesus has chosen Paul for Salvation today, Romans through Philemon explain all this. God bless you ....

This ONE true GOD exists as three persons: GOD the FATHER ( Acts 4:4); GOD the SON ( John 1-1:3); GOD the HOLY SPIRIT ( Ps 104:30)
God exists in three persons who are equal in their attributes and yet individual and distinct in their offices and ministries. Matt 3:16-17; Eph 1:3-14; 2Thess 2:13-14; Titus 3:4-6

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us...." Titus 3:5
