Bible Discussion Thread

The lineage used by the Jewish people are from the mother's side. Yet Matthew is using lineage from the Father's side. Why did he not use thelineage from the mother's side which would be Mary?

The genealogy of Mary is recorded in the Bible. As is Jesus's from Genesis until birth.

You can Google for Charts or maps to see them displayed; which is an easier way to go back into the Bible and "fact check" all the people. Use the Search Box on this website and put the people's names in there and the search engine will find them.

God has very carefully kept track of all the names. Reading geneologies is more interesting than most people think. I have no doubt He keeps track of ours too.

So does Satan. He has Familiar Spirits that keep track of family sins of occult nature that he can and does use against us. Unexplained spiritual attacks sometimes are running through deceased ancestors. We have to repent of those ancestors and pray for the BLOOD of Jesus to turn those curses all the way back to the Origin. We will be set free from all harassment from Satan. He's a Legalist. We see him at Gods Throne accusing people, in the Bible.

I had ancestors that were full blown mediums and psychics. I had to learn these truths fast! I lived those attacks until I learned how to defeat them. The Blood that Jesus Shed for our sins covers us all the way back to origins. He is our Advocate. I John 1. This is all in the Bible.

I'm not being a racist by saying that some people that have hundreds of years of Catholic ancestors have spiritual problems because they were not taught on these matters: especially idolatry. Idolatry is the big Door that spirits use to gain entrance. Hopefully someone who knows more Catholic rituals than I do, will be able to expose idols and rituals. Also to reveal How Jesus's sacrifice broke all curses and gave us freedom from that. In no way am I saying all Catholics are going to hell. I'm saying that chronic spiritual problems happen to everybody: no matter what religion. We take a stand against it and the Blood of Jesus ENDS the curses and harassment.

Keep this in mind when praying. Eph. 6

Mishael

my wife is catholic. she has told me that she never read the bible nor was encouraged to do so. I have read the bible most of my life and can honestly say that even though I didn't always understand it it had an impact on who I was and have become. The kingdom of god is ours now, because of Christ. When you experience the kingdom, you will have joy, joy unspeakable.

Jesus is more beautiful than anyone or anything we thought was beautiful. He is ordinary in appearance. Power no one can comprehend with our finite comprehension.

He's not way far away from us. There's like a veil we can't see through. "See through a glass darkly..."

When we pray He is most certainly hearing us. Not big oratory prayers, but speaking heart to heart. We should be still and listen more.

Love that envelopes.

We gotta get over this endless dissecting and disagreeing over scripture and begin to use our skills to help others. Be disciples; not scribes. Peace.

Amen brother Mishael.

We all need to come together in the Lord and help one another. Learn from one another. Sharing our Testimonies that show what the Lord has done in our lives. Truth. To Love one another unconditionally. God is love, Jesus Christ is Lord.

God Bless everyone. My prayers flow to all.

I really and truly hope that my experiences will help others be freed from not knowing why they feel like the world is against them for some reason. It's everybody; not just one religion. The study of genealogies showed me that evil can work in the background, undetected, and innocent relatives are persecuted. When I was saved I was found interpreting reading on a horoscope I had calculated. My Methodist drinking buddy said it all seems to ring true, "but the Bible says it's NOT!" (Denies the Power of God)

The Lord appeared in a vision over her face. I saw His face looking right at me. I went into shock. My friend left suddenly. I might have creeped her out. I finally got up and fetched the one Bible I had, but had never read. I didn't know how to read it. It's like someone said to look up stars, then: astrologers, everything, till I saw the Death Sentence on them. I put my head on the Bible and said I deserve to die. That's when I saw a vision of hell. It was like snakes looking worms and roots. It was foul and nasty beyond comprehension. I stood on a chair. Minutes later I perceived a hand was held out above me. I didn't see it but I put my hand up and reached for it. I fell off the chair to the floor but hell was gone. I passed out but I know I was touched and delivered from demons. I heard me screaming.

I woke up next morning and I cannot describe the silence. No sound, just peace and calm. I had received the Holy Spirit but I had to learn who He is. It took half a day to rid my home of idols, occult books, drugs, alcohol. I dragged it out to the garage. Next day my friend returned and she was the first person I told I had been saved. I asked her to help me drag the can outside. I poured charcoal lighter over it and set it on fire. Acts 19:19. I dedicated it and me to the Lord. 36 yrs ago on Yom Kippur.

Jesus is alive and He is so powerful. Nothing can tear us out of his hands. The Bible is LIFE; living. No truth withheld. He is Truth!
