John 16, John 17, has info about the Holy Spirit; third person of the Godhead.
If your Bible has center of each page, reference columns; those tiny abc's show you to additional information if one is within the scripture you are studying. You miss a lot if you don't use them.
These are all things that make studying easier.
Google can help but it MAY take you to a website that is not King James Bible. On the other hand if you have NIV or NKJV, you can google comments on your Bibles Version.
If you're memorizing verses, just look at websites that carry your version.
I find study easier if I read 2-3 books at a time. It flows better and you can keep oriented on the life and story of Jesus.
Then Jesus asks another, "Follow Me". But his response was, "Give me leave to first bury my father". Here we see the urgency of the ministry: this man wanted to spend time with his father, maybe he was already in old age, & then after his death, the man would follow Jesus. But Jesus' Words, 'let the dead bury their dead' might seem harsh to us, but the urgency of the ministry is before him. One cannot wait for a loved to die, or for the kids to grow up & be married, or even enjoy some relaxing holidays as a family, before answering the call to serve; though losing a loved one is both sad & important, the call to serve in the Gospel is of greater importance. So leave your father with those who don't have the love of God in their hearts nor any desire to serve God: they will look after him & his eventual funeral arrangements.
Then the next man gave the excuse to go first to his house to bid farewell to his loved ones. This seems like a proper thing to do & shouldn't take too long. But Jesus seeing his heart, knew that procrastination often leads to nothing being accomplished. This man would spend many days seeing & fare-welling everybody - then there will be those who would challenge him if this was the right thing to do - think of your grieving family, your profession, your future marriage, etc. It wouldn't take much to convince him to weaken his desire to follow Jesus as "he looks back at what could have been his in this life".
The call of the Lord requires a sincere willingness & singleness of heart & purpose to be effective in the Kingdom.
You may be well aware of this Site, as you're well-read both with the print & visual media, but I regularly follow The Watchman, with Erick Stacklebeck giving bi-weekly talks (Tues & Thurs) on the latest 'goings on' in that part of the world & beyond. He attended the Peace Treaty signings at D.C. & gives his first hand impressions on it. Certainly, the pieces of the 'puzzle' are being seen, if not coming together, but who will be the charismatic esteemed one, recognized by the nations, who can broker a full peace deal in the M.E.?
Even with the Covid virus showing signs of a second wave in some countries, I wonder how the on-going negative impact this will have on the economies of the world, will also weaken the hearts of men to put their trust in someone that can lead them & pull them through a time of general ruin & despair? We can but watch & pray - and pray for Christ's Body to stay true to the Lord & our Holy Faith when Satan will seek to disrupt our confidence & take away our joy & peace.
I'm planning on that! I DO NOT want to stick around to see the worldwide grief of people who gamble and lose their life.
I don't know how many read the daily news from Israel, but i do, faithfully. Russia and China are being much more visible. The Palestinians are dead set on running Israel off their covenant land. Iran has a nuke and were enriching the uranium and "accidently" exploded the building. Lebanon was storing chemicals in a warehouse near families and that exploded "mysteriously". Iran, Russia, Turkey, Greece; countries all around the Black Sea have earthquakes almost everyday. South America that is buying oil with gold; while citizens go without food or housing, have earthquakes everyday. Africa is being ate up with locust clouds.
China is actively ridding itself of Christians. Kidnapping children to put in their military. Muslims are being made to serve too. China has rebuilt a highway from them all the way to the Mediterranean. They are selling cheap infected meat to all countries & and other products. They own 50 million acres of American farmland. The don't have to sell any food to the USA. Scripture says God is going to utterly wipe out Russia. Wonder if that's where the Wormwood Star is going to hit: that will make all fresh water bitter & poisonous? So much more news! Need room.
Times of the Gentiles can be any day. I am not over exaggerating!
Let's skip all the speculation and get radically saved now!?!? No food, no water, no power, no ammo, no internet, no gas, no heat... be intelligent and give your heart to Jesus NOW!! For real. He knows our hearts & if we really mean it.

Getting to the vaccines. I will share some information I've been lead to. To start I'm sure all of you know what GMO is. So with our foods, say fruits and vegetables. People can not patent or "own" anything natural or made by God. When they go in something and alter it's DNA in some way, making it GMO, now they can patent it and now own it because it is not natural anymore. The vaccine they are working on, backed by Bill Gates, is using "recombinant DNA" technology and will do just that to our DNA. Alter it in some way actually making us GMO and our DNA not natural anymore. So they can say they basically own us quite simply. This type of vaccine has never been used on human beings before in history. They're going to want everyone to take it, from what I see, but may not make it mandatory at first. We'll just have to see what happens.
After seeing the doctors speak these things about this. Even Bill Gates is saying it will alter our DNA. I will never accept taking this vaccine they are making up as we speak. Just be ready to take up your cross my brothers and sisters. Trust in Jesus Christ or trust in man.
God Bless.
What if we could condense this proliferation of baggage we carry in our hip pockets & purses into a small scanable chip (which of course, as you well noted, the RFID chip already is in regular use for many years/decades) which would one day be commonplace in our bodies so that we can get about our daily business with greater ease & less fuss; and of course, all that information gleaned from us is available to all agencies concerned. So even if the future holds such a development for us personally & may not be wrong or what the Scriptures warns us about, should the believer see this implanted chip as a precursor to what the Anti-Christ might also include in the chip? Revelation 14:9 talks about "his mark": maybe we can assume it to be a separate addition to the chip or Anti-Christ's own mark or ID that is electronically implanted into another chip. Whatever it is, both "receiving his mark & worshipping him" constitutes one's departure from the love, trust & shelter of the Lord & there'll be no place for repentance.
It would be a very difficult time of contemplation requiring decision as to what a believer does when faced with the implantation of the 'innocent' chip & its ramifications for the future. Some still only trade with cash, suspecting the credit card to be the precursor to Anti-Christ's chip/mark: an interesting time ahead for us.
Total speculation until he is identified. It's a man , not a system .
When he is revealed and forces everyone to except his image will anyone have a doubt then ?
You either will think he is God as he claims or the Antichrist.
Some may take his mark reluctantly but the are cowards .
Any attempt to claim who the Antichrist is like saying who the
50 th President is .do you stop using dollar bills now because his image will some day appear on them ?
So put away this paranoia.
Until he is revealed .
I guess that the thing we need to focus on, is the Bible says it will be in the Hand or on the Forehead. Revelation.
I don't think we need to get paranoid over vaccinations. We need flu shots. Kids need childhood vaccinations. I get flu shots every year. Mostly because USA has bought swine flu infected meat for decades; until President Trump put an end to it a few years ago. Me Biden has promised that he will lift all sanctions against certain Chinese products ASAP. Who are you voting for? Think of never eating pork ribs or chicken ever again.
Also we have to CHOOSE to get the Mark of the Beast and to Worship his Image. Let's all read those scriptures to steady our nerves.
Let's hear a consensus on what other teachers in here think. Let's discuss it. Find the supporting scriptures.

May we suggest you read 1 Cor. 2:14,15 and than study what it means to repent and when you change from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18) you will learn that the 'California Wildfires' are indeed God's wrath. It is the fruit of the unbelief of the people, as they follow after an image of a false god and a false Christ, as you do yourself ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).
The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).
The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting, repentings) is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.
It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).
For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).
You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), as mankind follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).
n order to put the California wildfires into a 'spiritual' context, we invite you to visit the 'Current Events' page of our website. There are several entries that will explain the cause of God's wrath and why people's prayers are all in vain ( Matthew 15:9). The 'Current Events' page is a collection of thoughts and discussions on today's 'Current Events' and how the content on this website helps to explain and examine them and put them into a 'spiritual' context.
History has proven that mankind does not follow the first three commandments but rather follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9), as a direct result of religious and made-made doctrines and commandments ( Matthew 15:9; Mark 7:7; Col.2:22). History has also proven that this whole world has been deceived as confirmed by the Word of God inRevelation 12:9. History has also proven that 'Religion' is the means that Satan is using to transform himself into an angel of light and an apostle of Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Galatians 4:8; 2Cor. 11:13-15; Revelation 12:9).

The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).
Please study why Christ performed so many miracles on the Sabbath day in front of the religious authorities of his day, who eventually crucified Him.
Please read Gal. 4:9-11. God had asked the people to worship and observe Him one day out of the week. However, the observance of the Sabbath, Circumcision, etc. was strictly a sign of obedience and faith but could not save people. The believers and followers of Christ worship Him 24/7.
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

I agree with your explaination of letter J. When I found out it was more serious than that.
Christianity started in a gentile area called Antioch. what scripture say this.....
"And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."
now who started christianity... from much praying.. and then searching i came to
Acts 6:5
"And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:"
stephen was killed and believers were scattered and Nicolas returned to Antioch and that when the first christians started.. Nicolas.. st Nicolas.. ..Santa claws. brings in christmasn xmas tree ( Jeremiah 10:1-9), easter replaces passover feast of the unleaven bread. easter and xmas are paigans.
this I now know Paul
didn't identify himself as a christian be was a believer and follower of the WAY.
Acts 24:14
"But this I confess unto thee, that after the WAY which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:"
John 1:1 and 14
John 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
John 14:6
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
The disciples were believers who followed the WAY. the WORD that became flesh is the truth Messias.
Revelation 19:13
"And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
