Understood,

However, Jesus did come in the People experienced Him with their five senses. He used real life, five sense explanations to highlight spiritual truths. I agree that we are to learn spiritual truth through the Spirit. I also believe that God gave us our physical five sense existence to experience him and He is plainly known through what he has made.) Without the work of the Holy Spirit, none of us can come to God for salvation. But it is through hearing the gospel that we believe. We do not come to the knowledge of the gospel simply by inner intuition.

Earl,

I understand that parables are not to be taken literally, they point to a real life application of the allegory to our lives.

Hinhe In the Epistle to the Philippians the main focus is being like minded and the fellowship in the spirit. Phil. !:5, 2:1,2,20 also the walk i love on with another in the gospel. As Jesus Christ said by this love we are known.

S. Spencer The parables that were given in Mathew 13:24-32 were both spiritual positives and negatives on how the Kingdom of heaven works and the adversary works.

Hiya Guys GBU .

Dear Free , if I remember correctly , you have some health problems . Me too though they are not life threatening they are life altering . Some years ago I had cancer and I learnt some thing , the only way I can express it is : I am not my body . It's a shell . You are a beautiful soul . Every one on hear knows that , we can tell from your posts . Please don't allow any present distresses to over whelm you . You are precious in God's eyes and in ours . Isaiah Ch 40 , V 28-31. Much love in Christ .

GENESIS speaks of altered DNA..hence the obvious covid vaccines...changes godly DNA. Grapevine news is that hospitals will be implementing Med Beds...which would extinguish the need of greedy doc, big pharma etc. These beds use DNA to fix what's wrong with you...like it had for the elite for 70 years now. I believe these med beds are just another way to change you DNA like the covid bioweapons...I need guidance because I signed up to train as a med bed operator and fear I'm just like the ones pushing the deadly vaccines.

The condemnation, the condemn nation. America is that condemnation. America is no longer in the spirit, it will be condemned. I pray that there are enough in the spirit to prevent his judgment . They will kill you, thinking they do Gods will! This of course would be one way for them into hell. A country destitute without God. Prophets and priests who lie and deceive through their own ignorance! The people have been deceived. I know you. Be vigilant, be sober! For I will be!

Thanks so much for the materials to help build others not to break or tear them apart from the precepts of God. Tons of blessings to all. The seasons BEST in extra ordinarily .From one of the persons touched by the outfits inspiration .YIDDISH.

Thank you

Part 2

Titus 1:6-9

6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

I strongly disagree with any comment posted on this discussion concerning women to have their rights to teach and preach in the churches because according to the scriptures as it is written in:

1 Corinthians 11:1-3

1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

1 Corinthians 14:36-38,40

36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

1 Timothy 3:1-5

1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

Titus 1:6-7

6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

Sister GiGi, I was saying the parable is not literal but has a hidden meaning.

Thank you sister GiGi! I think that's why Paul says to comfort one another with these words from Thessalonians. Or as Jesus says of our Heavenly Father - I am not the God of dead but the God of the living in Mark 12:27 !

For we shall not taste death or even see death! John 8:51 !

Praise Jesus for His Death, His Burial, and His Resurrection - and thank you again GiGi for your love!

Adam That can be said of anyone on any subject matter in Gods word. These are points all may be challenged in not doing whether purposely or not. 2 Peter 1:20 comes to mind the word there for private is idios meaning ones own. That scripture in context speaks for itself as does all Gods Word.

Hi Unknown Just an input Gods Word is truth we are going to defend God? We speak the truth in love I do't try to prove God or His Word I share and teach and endeavor to display his love then people make up there minds. Jesus Christ never defended His Father His works and speech spoke for themselves.

Hi Gigi One of the many challenges to me when understanding scripture it is God communicating how he works and how he wants to work for and in us via His Spirit. We live in pardon my unique analogy a five senses matrix that works against our spiritual man. To just say I'm not going to walk by the senses to me doesn't fit, it is a lifetime of determined focused change of thought into action, walking by faith not by sight. In the old testament when the prophet Samuel went to Jesse 1 Samuel 16 God even had to tell his man verse 7 I don't see things the way you do and he isn't the one then when he showed him seven sons Samuel ask the question is this it then Jesse sort of like well there is one more but he's sort of the runt, sends for the boy verse 7 this is he anoint him. Fantastic example, even the prophets who were human just like us fought the five senses. So we do our best and let God do the rest.

Hi Faustino. Jotham is the youngest son of Gideon ( Judges 9:5). But you need to know, as you read this account, that Gideon, who was the son of Joash, was also called Jerubbaal ( Judges 8:35). So, Jerubbaal & Gideon are the same person. He was called Jerubbaal, meaning, 'let Baal contend with him', because he obeyed God in going out & tearing down Baal's altar & cutting down the Asherah pole ( Judges 6:25-32). As you read the account of how Jotham escaped being murdered, you will see the warning parable he preached to Abimelech (who was his brother & murderer of the other brothers) & to the men of Shechem.

praying with you sister Grace

please keep Kristie in your prayers as well thank you and may God bless you

Putting your opportunity for salvation into the hands of another human and saying to them : here , you sort this out for me ' ,is a big mistake as far as I'm concerned . The printing press was given to us for a reason , the best reason . God does and has always has know each and every person intimately , He wants us to know Him intimately which is why He has preserved and published His Word . Putting a middle man or woman , a human , in between ourselves and our God is I think a mistake . I'm sorry to say that I don't trust any human that much . He's my God it's my salvation and I want to know what's expected of me and what God has to offer me . This site is fab , it's full of different personalities with different view points and I've been provoked and enlightened by many posts on here and I believe that the vast majority of people on here are genuine Truth seekers , that's why I keep coming back . In churches I have heard many excellent sermons , I've also heard a few duffers . When I go to church I want to be provoked into thinking and seeking even harder than normal , I love it love it love it when some one else knows more than me and shares their knowledge . I want to learn not be placated or comforted by some one who only knows how to do those two things . I want to be enlightened not lulled into a false sense of security ' he's better educated than me so he must know better than me : I don't have to read or study , that's what my pastor is for '. That creates in me laziness , which I'm already inclined to . God is beautiful , I want to learn of His beauty and have it full my heart with joy , I get that from His pure Word , from the Bible , we humans tarnish every thing with our dirty hands . God is clean and bright and pure and beautiful and I trust Him implicitly . He's in the Bible , so that's where I'm going , see you there .

You make me smile pretty much every day .

Hi Gigi , in love I have to disagree with you there . God gave us His Word , the Bible so that we may learn of Him . I read every post on here and respect every ones right to their opinions but I don't follow what any person says . I believe God wants us to understand His Word and when we , as individuals , read and study it diligently , He Himself will help us to understand it . I put no trust in humans at all unless I know and trust that person is a genuine Christian , a Truth seeker , I wouldn't ask their advice on scripture . I don't know what your experience of religious 'authorities ' is but in my experience : once I discover that I know more than they do they are not an authority to me . On this site there are sooo many people with more knowledge and understanding than me , that's what keeps me coming back , ordinary folk who desire to know the Truth . God is not the author of confusion , I'm not an intellectual , I'm a Truth seeker . I have brothers and sisters all over the world who are in isolation and all they have is a paper Bible . No electricity nothing , no pastor etc , they are learning directly from the Source of All Life and Righteousness . We can too , He makes sure of that . Seek and you will find .With Christian love . In the old days in England , we had a period called the dark ages , the only people who could read were upper class and the church , it's not called the dark ages for nothing . Have you heard of the Spanish Inquisition ? True horror stories of so called 'authorities' . We don't need them . We need God and His living Word and we can find that in the Bible and in our prayers and in the little sacrifices we make every day when we don't do what we want to do because we know it's wrong .

Thank you for replying to me Matt H . I'm a middle aged woman , there's no one more angry than a middle aged woman lol . I have to be careful with anger because if I don't get a grip on it it turns into sorrow for me . I can give you list of all the things I see that make me angry but it would take me a week to write it . I believe Jesus got angry , how could he not with all the hardheartedness around him . I've been reading the Bible for 27 years so I'm quite familiar with it . Reading between the lines is some thing I do when I can't quite understand some thing . I try to imagine why some one said or did some thing . When I was young I loved 'whodunnit' novels so my instinct is to look for clues , even in the Bible . The Bible never stops giving , never stops revealing , even after 27 years . That's part of its appeal , it's never dull because it's a slow reveal , the more times you read it the more things fall into place . This world doesn't often get a rise out of me any more , I feel the anger nip my brain occasionally but I'm very sad to say that the evilness of people no longer surprises me . It still saddens me though . Only God and His love and His mercy and His promises and His son Jesus Christ the Righteous oh and this site and the people on it , cheer me up every day . That includes you Matt , so if you sound a bit annoyed I'm gonna ask you 'whats up ' . Be joyfull , Christ is coming and he loves you !

Dear Mishael , I know this is you , I can tell . You should write a book about your family when you were a child and a dad and a grandad . Love your Christian heart .

Indeed brother Adam - well written. When we come with our own biases, or just accepting what someone has taught us, or even what seems reasonably unacceptable to our rational/logical thinking, then we can move off in a tangent from what the Word has revealed to us to believe. And the further we move on that tangent of belief, many other Scriptures have to be mentally modified to fit our belief for them to make sense. Then true biblical hermeneutics is thrown out of the window so that rational thinking is given preference for understanding the Bible.

Dear "English Sacha". Thank u soo much. I have longing for some KJ scripts for a long time becouse ill give my away, in hope that the person will read and fill the soul with Holy Words. :D

And it has, last time we talk together about the script.

When il find this web site and all ppl here who praise the Lord Jesus. I'll come too a stage in my life who have give me much love and kindness, and evan good admotion. Soo i have many times since that first time give thankful word back. And pray for u all located grounded in my heart from the King of Kings, is not a heavy burden.

Love u all in Christ, He who have blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly world in Christ. Stay blessed in Jesus Name.

1 Corinthans 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

Today i wonder over this script: present distress. :-)

We are led by the spirit of God , and by the renewing of the mind in the word of God we are conformed to God not the world . If we are in tune with God by his Holy Spirit we also know when others are not in tune .

This also has been my experience.

Dear Christiana Ehirim on Psalms 121.

Absolutely in Jesus name.

Mathew 24.24

Take heed brethren false prophets shall arise among you . Powered by the devil .
