Earl No explanation of there or it?

What does the Bible say about going to graveyard to visit your loved one

The Lord showed Peter in dreams in 10, while in prayer on the rooftop that God has made all foods clean. (He is also sowing Peter that Gentiles are made clean as well and can inherit salvation just like the Jews as He referenced Cornelius).

Paul did not adhere to the OT food regulations after his conversion. Neither he nor Peter had ever eaten unclean foods before conversion, but after, they did, no longer being bound by these food laws.

Good day, Mishael,

Fewer and fewer people today have were alive in the times before polio, measles, mumps, had a vaccine. Without the vaccines, most children contracted these diseases, some it was deadly or debilitating. Before antibiotics, people died of such infections as strep throat, scarlet fever, pnuemonia, etc. Before cancer treatments, people died of many curable cancers. Vaccines and medicines have saved many people from death or life long impairment. People do not have to live without relief from intense of chronic pain due to anti-inflammatories and pain relieving medications. I am thankful for so many medical treatments available today.

So, instead of promoting fear about the covid vaccine, I chose to see it as one of many ways people can utilize to reduce their risk of infection or to treat infection. People can make their own choice about it. I think that when this all dies down in a year or so, the rhetoric will also subside as more becomes known about the vaccine and the disease.

Right now there is so much erroneous and conflicting information out there, it is hard to really know what is the truth. But for me, I put my trust in God and go on living for Him.

Hopefully no one is condemning anyone. John 3:18, that debate may be the question, is it out of disbelief? A deeper, individual question for oneself. Titus 3:9-11, James 5:9-10, 1 Corinthians 11:28-32

1st I think you are incorrect about "government requirement" of all "those vaccinations" that's why there's still debates. I believe in some states they are not required. Even where they are there are debates of rights as parents & individual choices. * not a GOD Law.

2nd Importantly if vaccination is effective; (I agree most have been)= then the hatered, animosity, & anger about freedoms shouldn't exist! Because if effective then those vaccinated have no fear, only non-vaxers would have threats in society. This is a freedom & liberty argument. Jeremiah 34:15-18, Psalms 119:45-46,

3rd If "boomers" could say 'choice' when it came to killing millions in my generation through abortion, then my generation has choices too. Isn't that the real questions? Galatians 5:11-14,

4th The HOLY Spirit is Amazing!!! just this morning I was reminded how painful & difficult, chicken pox were, I contracted maybe 3 times, before 8 yr of age. contracted German measles in hospital at birth. I am grateful my children through vaccination didn't contract. I believe I was reminded because I would be responding to you. Thank you LORD GOD ALMIGHTY :) John 14:26,

5th I believed in the power of vaccinations, I was vaccinated & oldest child. I encountered studies about Autism connected to vaccination. I heard parents' arguments about anti-vax & evidence. I had next infant fuly vaccinated, didn't seem to effect us. My youngest was born & early on had several 'markers for Autism' the evidence in studies pointed to somes inability to absorb metals like Mercury & Lead in bloodstream - I had worked in Lab several years with many Chemicals, including Lead, Mercury. I was also MSDS Supervisor. Knowledge of reproductive system risks, I had to make the moral 'choice' not to vaccinate, at that time.

Earl Forgive me I flunked spelling bee's

Earl Again I will graciously end this because your scripture references out of context have got more twist and turns than the Autobahn. Your implying that man has no truth but Gods Word believed and carried out is truth in function.

Also if what your saying is true than what your commenting on can't be truth because man has no truth, do you see how this sounds? So God Bless moving on to the Pinnacle of Truth as the Mater said THY WORD IS TRUTH!

Brother Rick:

Revelation 21:24 And the nations of them that are SAVED shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

Revelation 21:25 And the gates of it SHALL NOT BE SHUT at all by day, for there shall be no night there.

Revelation 21:26 And they (the saved) shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

Isaiah 66:18-24

Hi Alex So again were tying together scripture with knots made with overcooked noodles, if you want to

get someones either attention or reasonable response then the communication has got to line up with given

subject matter in the context of what's discussed. With the scripture the baby jesus does not quite tie into new

wine in old bottles stored in solomons temple in egypt with the thorns that Christ bore. Exercising my sense

of humour. Just making a point, I Love You!

Hi Lise I'm amazed at how many christians or believers are getting caught up in the vaccine shot

being part of the beast or mark of the beast when Gods Word says Clearly we won't be here! We may

see things building up to that point in Gods time table, but we will not be present when the son of

perdition cuts loose so to speak. That term son of perdition literally means offspring of loss or destruction.

Who in the Bible Steals ,Kills and Destroys, now you know who this guys Father is going to be and where

he's getting his power from. But again we won't be here, but those left behind will be taken in by the so

called false signs miracles and wonders he will perform. Stick with God Word.

Brother Rick, does man have knowledge of God, is this not part of the gospel, man has no knowledge of God.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of KNOWLEDGE; because they have rejected KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee that thou shall be no PRIEST to me ......( Revelation 5:10)

God is THE WORD, man has no KNOWLEDGE of the words (truth) of God.

Revelation 2:26 He that overcometh and keepeth MY WORKS to the end, to him will I give POWER OVER THE NATIONS.

Revelation 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as a vessel they shall be broken to shivers; even as I

received of my Father ( Psalms 2:8-10).

I've gone to church all my life and never once heard that God's elect are going to govern the nations.

Why is this SCRIPTURAL DOCTRINE not taught, because man's doctrine of hell is taught instead, and believed.

NO KNOWLEDGE.

PROMISED ISRAEL

In the Old Testament a gentile could become an Israelite by being circumcised in the flesh.

TODAY a gentile becomes an Israelite by being circumcised in the heart.

Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly: and circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but God.

Pestilence means a deadly and overwhelming disease that affects an entire community. The Black Plague, a disease that killed over thirty percent of Europe's population, was certainly a pestilence. Pestilence is also one of the four Horseman of the Apocalypse in the book of Revelation.

The definition of a pestilence is any infectious, fatal disease that is widespread or an evil influence or deliverer. An example of a pestilence is the bubonic plague. An example of a pestilence is a swarm of mosquitoes carrying disease.

As proper nouns the difference between famine and pestilence:

is that famine is the personification of famine, often depicted riding a BLACK horse while pestilence is the personification of pestilence, often depicted riding a WHITE horse.

The four horsemen of the apocalypse are four biblical figures who appear in the Book of Revelation. They are revealed by the unsealing of the first four of the seven seals. famine, and death; conquest, and war.

The H1N1 influenza A pandemic of 1918-1920 (Spanish flu) remains the deadliest pandemic of the modern age, with estimates of mortality ranging from 17 million to 100 million from an estimated 500 million infections globally (approx. a third of the earth.

Bubonic plague may seem like a part of the past, but it still exists today in the world and in rural areas of the USA. The best way to prevent getting plague is to avoid the fleas on rodents: rats, mice, squirrels, pets.

[Smallpox, Influenza, Rabies, Tuberculosis, Leprosy, Bubonic & Pnemonic (flu) diseases; Malaria, HIV aids. These pestilences are still active in the world today.] Covid the most recent.

Children & adults are still vaccinated for all these diseases at some time in their life, like enrolling in school. Read history before you condemn present day people being vaccinated. The government requires vacs for all, in the public interest of keeping these old pestilences from killing everyone on earth.

Try not to panic.

Mishael

Earl The written word is the knowledge of God written by men via the Spirit so if what the spirit is telling

anyone and it contradicts or doesn't fit with all the scripture related to the same subject matter that's not Gods

fault. Also I don't buy at all that an individual got [SPECIAL REVELATION] outside of the guidelines of the Bible.

That falls in line with J.W's Gnosticism which is basically spiritualism or your born with spirit all you have to do

is wake it up so there's no need for a saviour. We don't believe in sin because we don't believe there's a God so

therefore no one superior and man will figure it out himself by evolving intellectually. The adversary will do

absolutely anything to get man not to believe he sins because if you believe you sin then you have to come to the

solution Jesus Christ Gods Mr. CLEAN OF SIN inside and out. You seem to go off a tangent when commenting.

The Book is the Bible. The story in Chronicles.

"in a battle at Ramoth-gilead Jehoram, the king of Israel, had" "been wounded; and leaving his army there, had returned to" "Jezreel, whither his ally, Ahaziah, king of Judah, had also gone" "on a visit of sympathy with him ( 2 Kings 8:28, 29). The" "commanders, being left in charge of the conduct of the war, met" "in council; and while engaged in their deliberations, a" "messenger from Elisha appeared in the camp, and taking Jehu from" "the council, led him into a secret chamber, and there anointed" "him king over Israel, and immediately retired and disappeared (2" "Kings 9:5, 6). On being interrogated by his companions as to the" "object of this mysterious visitor, he informed them of what had" "been done, when immediately, with the utmost enthusiasm, they" blew their trumpets and proclaimed him king ( 2 Kings 9:11-14). "He then with a chosen band set forth with all speed to Jezreel," "where, with his own hand, he slew Jehoram, shooting him through" "the heart with an arrow (9:24). The king of Judah, when trying" "to escape, was fatally wounded by one of Jehu's soldiers at" "Beth-gan. On entering the city, Jehu commanded the eunchs of the" "royal palace to cast down Jezebel into the street, where her" mangled body was trodden under foot by the horses. Jehu was now "master of Jezreel, whence he communicated with the persons in" "authority in Samaria the capital, commanding them to appear" before him on the morrow with the heads of all the royal princes of Samaria. Accordingly on the morrow seventy heads were piled "up in two heaps at his gate. At "the shearing-house" (2 Kings" 10:12-14) other forty-two connected with the house of Ahab were "put to death ( 2 Kings 10:14). As Jehu rode on toward Samaria, he" "met Jehonadab (q.v.), whom he took into his chariot, and they" entered the capital together. By a cunning stratagem he cut off "all the worshippers of Baal found in Samaria ( 2 Kings 10:19-25),"

Is Jesus God? Do we no longer need to regard the Father God? The Holy Spirit? Everything is Jesus?

Deut 6:4 Hear oh Israel, the Lord our God is one.

What did Moses mean when he said that? Did he mean that the Israelites were to worship the one true God only? The Hebrew word for one means in unity with itself? So God wears many hats so to speak? Why would Jesus himself say (in Matthew before ascending to God the Father ) to go and baptize them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost? But Peter say baptize in Jesus name?

Help me please if you can.I just want Bible TRUTH.

2 Chronicles 20:34

Leviticus 11 are the food laws. In Acts 10 the Lord deals with Peter for refusing to eat food he believed unclean. 3 times.

Food cooked responsibly and received with prayer and thanksgiving is clean. The power of "clean" is in Jesus Name.

Even John the Baptist ate roasted locusts. Follow the scriptures and don't be in bondage to laws. The law is the School Master until Grace comes; who is Jesus.

Titus 1:15 - Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

Leviticus 11:44 - For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Mishael

Lise Carmen Verdon,

I would like to add another amen on top of brother Spencer's reply to the answer Andrew gave. A true believer would never receive the mark. In order to receive the mark, a person must first bow down and worship the image of the beast (Revelation Chapter 13). That is a prerequisite before a person can receive this mark. You cannot just walk up and receive the mark without first worshipping the beast. So that would eliminate the vaccine being the mark of the beast.

Tewana,

The bible speaks of fornication as immoral. It refers to pre-marital sex. You can put fornication or sexually immoral in the search box and find scripture passages that speak to such as sinful.

As Lazarus, the brother of Martha and Mary, he was a dear friend of Jesus, as were his sisters. I assume that these tree were followers of Jesus, not apostles, but most likely disciples. Lazarus' was raised from the dead. If that were me, I would be compelled to follow the one who raised me and learn from Him.

Thank you Chris,

You always have a way of stating your thinking clearly and sensical. Yes, Chanukah is a national holiday of the nation of Jews, like our 4th of July or Thanksgiving. Such holidays, if celebrated, should be done in a way that honors God with gratitude and acknowledgment of His providence in assisting a nation in its time of need.

Brother Chris, since Christ is the church, and Christ is creation's brother, I see no difference whether creation is addressed as church or brother.

You are my brother and you are also my church, because we as a whole are the church and brothers, we all become ONE as Christ and his Father are ONE.

Brother Chris, you are correct I will have a hard time convincing people that he was speaking to the church, because they don't BELIEVE that ALL MEN are God's CHURCH.'

Judah was the only one that had five brothers, so this was addressed to the house of JUDAH, creation is the PROMISED SEED of the house of JUDAH.

Zechariah 12:7 And the Lord shall save the TENTS OF JUDAH FIRST......

They don't believe that God is capable of saving all men.

They don't believe Christ was SENT to be the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.

BELIEF is BELIEVING all God's words, even devils believe there's a God. Christ is THE WORD, ALL WORDS, if you reject that Christ is not going to save all men as he says he will, you are rejecting the WORD.

So we see that they could not enter in because of UNBELIEF.

The CHURCH in the wilderness BELIEVED in GOD, but the did not BELIEVE what he SAID, they lost out because of UNBELIEF.

Eve (WOMAN) suffered death, not because she didn't believe in God, but because she did not BELIEVE what God SAID.

If I be lifted up I will draw ALL MEN to me.

UNBELIEF is the ONLY sin not covered by the blood of CHRIST.

Have faith ,trust ,believe.Also Proverbs 3:5-7. I love Psalms & Proverbs ! Be steadfast.

Brother Rick, I agree with you a habit is hard to break. A belief is also hard to break, even if it's wrong. We are taught from birth a certain belief and we believe it, but at a latter point in life we start searching to verify what we believe is indeed TRUTH. We find what we were taught to believe doesn't align with God's word, do we continue in that belief or repent and turn from that belief.

IT IS WRITTEN is indeed our goal, but the scriptures have to AGREE, if they don't we have to reconcile why they don't.

It's either we want repent of our belief or the wrong word was used by the translator.

Most of all, and I know, you know, we have to be instructed by the Holy Spirit.

May God bless us as he delivers us from darkness.

did Jesus change unclean food law

No pun intented but plz remember that is Rev 14 : 6 God has to send an Angel to preach the everlasting gospel to all that dwell on the earth, If the Churches were preaching the everlasting Gospel today God wd not have to send an angel to preach it. But Jesus tells us that great abomination of desolation was coming soon . I am the light of the world but the nite ( darkness ) comes when no man can work . Remember Jesus said your house is left unto you desolate. And the day of the lord will not come till there be 1st a great falling away and that man of sin be revealed. Even the big mega Churches are all desolate i mean it its in our faces on every corner . Even Isaiah said that darkness wd cover the earth and gross darkness the ppl ,we see it every day . Not long after Pentecost he gave them up as Micah 5 : 5 said was gona happen There fore shall he give them up till she that is in travail has given BIRTH, Then shall the remnant return . unto thats the woman in Rev 12 : 5 that is giving birth to the manchild. which is the light of the world ( the Kingdom ) Ezech's dried bones was the early Church but they were a great army like the early Church But they will come back together in Christ Jesus in the last days. And they are the original Israel of God . How do the Priests and the ministers do mourn for the NEW WINE HAS BEEN CUT OFF FROM THEIR MOUTHS ,THE NEW WINE WHICH IS THE NEW COVENANT WAS CUT OFF SOON AFTER PENTECOST, All that was left was Catholism .

Alex, dear Alex. You just can't pull out a Scripture & build a teaching from it. You must look at all instances where these feasts are mentioned. You quoted Isaiah 1:10-16 where the Lord abhored these sacrifices & feasts because they came with evil in their hearts (v15), not because the new moon & feast observances were wrong.

Then if you look at 2 Chronicles 8:12-16, again there were similar offerings & remembrances made by Solomon, to which the Lord did not condemn. If the Lord is going to condemn something He has introduced or permitted, then He must condemn it in all instances of their performance. The difference was that in Isaiah, the condemnation was because of the filthiness of their hearts, likened to the people of Sodom & Gomorrah (v10).

Once we get the understanding of the Scriptures straight, then we can appreciate the rest of Scripture, or else, we can just make up things as we go along & go further & further from the Truth. It's true, Israel, in their history, probably disappointed the Lord more than they worshipped Him with clean hearts & pure motives, but all Scriptures pertaining to them must be looked at & correctly & judged as given - one cannot throw out the baby with the bath water.

Earl Bowman Gods word is perfect because the author is perfect, therefore by sheer logic if there is

a problem with interpretation or understanding it is not the authors problem. Men or man MYSELF included

has this little problem believing that God didn't mean what he said and say what he mean't. Even when He to me

speaks to me I MUST line the info up with IT IS WRITTEN to determine truth from error. There are times on this site

when I misstated or didn't communicate correctly, but I endeavored to correct error. But your position is this

is what I see in scripture again because the spirit led me and with TOTAL ABSOLUTION but it fit like a square

peg in a round hole. You ask for example which has been done by more than one. There's a scripture that

applies here There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors. You appear to like a conversion but the question is

to what profit? There's a phrase in scripture a conscience [seared with a hot iron] conscience is habit pattern

so one that it seared is a habit pattern done so long that it is engraved in the mind and very hard to change

or see. I had a few in this category, took years to break by prayer and God Grace. Just sharing some heart.

Hiya Chris GBU.....You are coming in loud and clear But YOU DON'T understand the grandscheme

OF Gods plan . Remember there was none righteous no not one , My house shall be called a house

of prayer but you have made it a den of theives. Isaiah 1 : 13 KJV Bring no more vain oblations, your



new moons and your SABBATHS and your assemblies i cannot away with it,it is iniquity even your solome

assemblies v 14 Your new moons and your appointed feast ( CHANUKAK ) my soul HATETH when you make many

prayers i will hide my

eyes...Your hands are full of blood . Chris this is y Jesus had to die simply b/c they were worshipping him with their

lips but their hearts were far from him ,God wanted a perfect Israel be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect .

Judaism was a slap in the face of God . Your New Moons and your solome assemblies my soul hateth , It was not a

happy time for our lord he was a man of sorrows and aquainted with grief. But if he died he wd be multiplied as the

stars of heaven making eveybody righteous by his blood and that baby Christ the H.G. the Child of PROMISE as he said

outta of the mouths of babes and suckling thou has PERFECTED Praise. And that was the grandscheme of Gods plans

That mankind might be like God by giving birth to the H.G The Child of Promise the multiplication of Christ via his seed

the words of that new covenant , Chanukak their feast days ( 8 DAYS OF CELEBRATION ) cd not even begin to make

any body righteous . BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD THAT TAKETH AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD. Chris i am praying

for you that you might birth a baby Christ which is the H.G. the Child of Promise , Unless you receive the Kingdom of

God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in . She brought forth a man Child that is gonna rule all nations.
