we have been commissioned by Christ to preach the truth. The Bible tells us to be instant in season it out tell the people the truth when they want to hear it and when they don't and be not weary in well doing for if you'd be not weary in well doing if you faint, not the Lord, will bless you. As a Christian, I will never throw a rock and hot my hand. David stood before a giant and threw a rock and he's laid him. He did not hide his hand.
Hello Eula. I can't recall anything as specific as your question being answered in the Bible; but the following Scriptures relate to giving honor & care to parents, family & others near to you.
Hi Vince, God blessed us with the ability to have fun and happy lovable pets. While the Bible doesn't answer this specifically, the Bible describes heaven as an amazing place full of love, joy, and probably every possible positive emotion on earth we experience times a million. Those who described the visions of heaven seemed to lack the words to even convey how awesome it is. Total love and happiness with no downside. So, basically, you have nothing to be concerned about. Many of these answers will only be revealed then.
This verse suggests there could be animals in heaven:
"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever." Revelation 5:13 KJV
On the other hand, I don't think people who died of dog attacks, snake bites or shark attacks, etc will be forced to live in fear with those same creatures in heaven. I think God has it under control where people have nothing to worry about. To me its not like looking for an apartment. There's only one super obvious positive choice, and one super horrible choice.
Will our pets be raptured with us? I love my little Tzh Zu. He's the sweetest loving dog. He loves every body ....I hope there's a scripture somewhere that includes our pets because if it was possible, he would be a Christian dog...
Hello Margaret . I'm sorry that no one else has replied to you , I hope you don't mind getting stuck with me . I wish I could take away from you whatever it is that is distressing you but I can't . There have been times in my life when I have been very distressed and there was no one around for me to talk to or offer any help . I'm glad you came on here and I hope that reading this site has been of some help to you as it has been to me . Do you have a Bible that you can read ? I hope so . In the Bible there's a man who had many troubles in his life and every time he did , he turned to God . He also wrote about his experiences in the book of Psalms , it's a great place to go if you need a reminder of how much God loves you and is willing to help you if you call out to him in prayer . How about we say a prayer together now ?
Dear Heavenly Father , thankyou for this lovely day and thankyou for bringing me to it . Great God Almighty I know you know me better than I know myself and I know that you are always with me . You can see all my trials and tribulations and you know how much I am hurting right now . Please if it is your will , ease these burdens from my shoulders . Please lift me out of the mire and plant me some where safe . Please refresh me with your love your mercy and your blessings and please , keep tight hold of my hand as I walk through this life and keep me close to you always . I ask these things through the name of Jesus Christ the Righteous , Your precious Son and my sinless Redeemer . Amen .
Hi Donna...I think the secret place is our hearts and minds that is prone to evil...But thats y God wants to give us a new heart and a new spirit....A new innerman....The H.G....Thats y we must be bornagain of an incorruptible seed.ok GBU
Psalms 91 some believe it's written by David. But others attributed to Moses due to its content and textual similarity to Psalm 90, its use of Deuteronomic language, and various
Kind of! We refer to the Trinity - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Three in one. For example: I am a daughter, I am a mother and I am a wife. Three in one. In no way am I comparing myself, but it's easier sometimes to think of in everyday terms. God the Son (Jesus) always was, but God the Father sent Him to Earth so that we might be saved and have eternal life.
There is a phrase I heard while travelling: "Same, but Different"
This might explain the seemingly paradoxical relationship of the trinity or Godhead. Exactly how much the same are they and exactly how different are they? We don't know, we're only humans with limited capacity to comprehend this and no Earthly experience with this relationship. We only know what God's word says...
1 John 5:7
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
1 Kings 8:60 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Isaiah 9:6
John 10:38
"...the Father is in me, and I in him."
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
1 John 5:20
"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."
Acts 17:29
"Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or sto
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
1 Timothy 1:1 "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;"
GOD is our protector from harm ,no matter what may come our way. We must Praise and serve the Lord all the days of our life while we are here on earth and eternity, Thank GOD FOR JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR. Thank you LORD. Amen
Gerry this is a metaphor . Birds , usually the females but some males also , will shield their young under their outspread wings . This may be done to protect them from the very hot sun or to keep the chicks warm or to shield them from the sight of flying predators that can easily snatch up a young chick . The Bible is full of metaphors that often pertain to farming or wildlife . This is because the people of the time would understand these metaphors quickly and easily as they often lived lives around farming and livestock . Many of us are not knowledgeable about these things any more as we live city based lives .
You're correct Gerry, Almighty God doesn't have wings. But we do see instances of this metaphor being used, as in Psalm 91:1-4. We see it Psalm 17:8, Psalm 36:7, Psalm 61:4, Psalm 63:7 (Psalms of David); Deuteronomy 32:11,12; Malachi 4:2; and maybe others.
As you look at these references, you will notice how the writers viewed the all-shadowing, all-protecting God over them. They might have considered the eagle gliding onto her nest with outstretched wings, and then when another bird of prey appeared to attempt an attack on the young, the mother eagle covered them with her wings - for protection & to keep them out of view. For that time in history, I think that the eagle represented a wonderful metaphor of God's concern & care to those who feared Him.
are in the bible
This a perfect psalms for this season of trials and various temptations
Thank Jehovah God, for giving his Angles charge over us.
Blessed; be our Lord God that range for ever and ever.
AMEN

Very respectfully,
As Brother Chris mentioned the eagle represented a wonderful metaphor just like here in John you see a whole chapter of metaphors.
John 15:1-5 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
These metaphors throughout the bible gives us a clear picture of the intent.
God bless.
