Thanks you helped alot

Correction Jeremiah 31 : 31 - 33

Dear Sacha, You system of giving sounds like an excellent one for it proves wilfulness, "for God loveth a cheerful giver" ( 2Cor. 9:7).

The comments for Galatians 6:9-10 provide more explanations concerning this subject.

Sissy, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

This body (soul) of flesh we now live in can never inherit the next life.

Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine...... the soul that sinneth it shall die.

ALL MANKIND IS CHRISTS; we are his creation, it is his good pleasure to do with us as he DESIRES.

WE REBEL (that we are his possession) through UNBELIEF; he brings judgement upon us to CAUSE us to AGREE with him.

All this is a process to RECREATE us into a NEW creature that can inherit the NEXT LIFE.

No greater love has a man than to die for his brother.

Christ DIED for us, his brothers and sisters.

NOW do we AGREE to DIE for CHRIST, our brother, so he can CREATE in us a NEW LIFE that can live in the next world or will it take MORE JUDGEMENT for us to AGREE.

If we AGREE now (first resurrection) to DIE IN THE LORD; then, we never die and don't go through the next judgement (second resurrection).

Revelation 14:13 ....Blessed are the dead (in trespasses) which die IN THE LORD from henceforth.....

John 6:50 This is the (living) bread that came down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and NEVER DIE.

Dear Michael Eyeh, The responder "Jesse" provided an outstanding answer to your question, "Who are those of the household of faith and Why is more attention given to them?"

If and when this website posts my comment, I want to add more information concerning this subject.

false, The injection is the mark. The beast is a firefly used in the injection. Firefly is a beast of this earth and as a light bearer, in Latin is "Lucifer. So you have the mark and the name of the beast.

Re. Gal. 6:9-10 = Verse nine suggests three principles:

1st, Most often, the positive and profitable activity of well-doing is inconvenient, costly, and sacrificial in time, energy, labor, and resources.

2nd, GOD does not always reward well-doing immediately or even in this lifetime.

3rd, GOD always rewards well-doing in "due season."

Contextually, this "well doing" refers to "communicating" temporal wealth to teachers who "teacheth in all good things" (v.6), as well as providing life-support resources to the less fortunate within "the household of faith" (v.10).

The words "season" (v.9), and "opportunity" (v.10) translate from the same Greek noun root, both meaning a very specific, short, and measurable period of time, climaxed by an important decisive event. Contextually, this "due season" specifically refers to CHRIST's Second Coming wherein HE will ultimately reward HIS children for their well-doing (cp. Rev. 22:12 re. "rewards").



The New Testament speaks much concerning rewards which GOD The FATHER and LORD JESUS CHRIST will give to the Faithful. See Mt. 5:12; 6:4, 6, 18; 10:41-42; 16:27; Mk. 9:41; Lu. 6: 23, 35; 1Cor. 3:8, 14; Heb. 11:26; 2Jn. 1:8; and Rev. 22:12.

Do not allow weariness, exhaustion, and impatience prompt you to quit in well-doing as "faint not" (v.9) suggests (cp. 1Cor. 15:58).

The first priority of individual Christians and the local church is to provide necessary aid and support first and foremost, and "especially" (v.10), to the church's less fortunate, if and when necessary in the same manner as did the Jerusalem church "as every man had need" (Ac. 2:45; 4:34-35).

The expression, "household of faith" (v.10), identifies all Christians generally, and the local church specifically (cp. Eph. 2:19; 1Pet. 4:17). First Timothy 3:15 adds further descriptions: "the house of GOD, which is the Church of The Living GOD, the pillar and ground of the Truth."

A prayer for myself, This is spiritual warfare, and character assassination The super his friends the Women/Bullies/Sadist in my building devised a bunch of lies by being deceitful and spreading the vicious lies all through the whole neighborhood to bring me harm and or death to me . I didn't do anything to them . My husband also betrayed me, I pray that God will intervene and step in and soften their heart, change their minds, open their eyes to that they are lying. stop them in their tracks God expose them in Jesus name.

Thank you for your reply, Denise. I enjoyed your comment. For me the subject is not so superficial, but very profound and linked to the invisible GOD, creator of the heavens (four heavens), and of the earth. Honestly, I like to decipher GOD's enigmas. (riddles)

First, the Word is GOD. As you know, GOD-the Word-is Light- 1John 1:v.5. GOD said: Let there be light: and there was light-Gen.1:v.3. GOD has 7 Spirits- Revelation 5:v.6. By the way, there is a RAINBOW round about His throne-Rev.4:v.3. Again: The Word is GOD. Now see: God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good-Gen.1:v.11-12.

That said: the colours you (or science) see in the terrestrial nature is a reflex of the 7 Spirits of GOD, for the Word is the Creator. The Word said: Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, ... and it was so. The Word is the Power, the Omniscient, and Omnipresent, and Ominipotent GOD. The King David knew GOD sos well. David said: "For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast- Psalm 33:v.9. Dearest Denise, the Word is the source of the true Science and of the Wisdom.

The great MYSTERY revealed is the Word made flesh and was born JESUS, "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge"- Colossians 2:v.3. Paul Apostle said to the church of Colosse: I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the MYSTERY of God - Christ. Colossians 2:1-2.Amen.

Honestly, I like to decipher GOD's enigmas.God blesses

I realize that there are more than 10 commandments in the Bible. How many are there in the KJV and where can I get a list of them with scripture references for them?

According to the KJV: In Old Testament days, what chance did all the people have for going to Heaven when they died since they didn't have the shed blood of Jesus Christ yet?

Thanks, I just think that why make it so hard to understand when it is so simple. Lots of people are full of them selves and think they are the smartest people on earth. Why make something so simple so hard to understand? Live like a God fearing person and believe in God and Jesus Christ, Obey Gods commandments and you are good to go with no worries. I just cannot see it any other way but very very simple.

in verse 21 the saved by water comment does refer to the water of the flood or natural water its referring to the grace that flows from Christ himself, in reality the floodwater didn't saved no one, actually it was the ark in the natural sence that saved.

Sacha,

I must confess that I follow your inspirational comments; your warm heart shines brightly. You're the lake of fire at the sinners banquet. In a normal, healthy way, I love you as much as Jesus wills me to. Your splendor of pouring out comfort gives me delight. Please live your days without regret doing as God intended you to do.

Hello Carolyn. Two Scriptures come to mind that speak of a Christian's behaviour towards another.

James 2:14-17 and 1 John 3:17,18.

As you read both those portions, the message is clear: In the first passage, if a believer sees a brother or sister destitute of food or clothing & does nothing about it except to assure him of prayers that things will turn for the better for him, then that believer's faith is dead.

In the other passage, if a believer is stoney-hearted towards a needy brother or sister, then that attitude raises serious doubt as to whether God's Love resides in him.

As much that it is not in our power to declare the worth of a person's salvation (that is a matter between God & the individual), a person with such an attitude to another's need, does indeed demonstrate a failure in both faith & love - qualities that God's Spirit has bestowed to every child of God. Of course, maybe the hoped-for helper is also in a pathetic position, whether in giving monetary or other assistance. But even in this case, everything possible should be done to ensure that a fellow-believer is cared for. I feel, generally Churches are very responsive in this area & probably most saints as well, but having had connections with the smaller (tighter) groups, such as the Exclusive Brethren, you will never find any person fellowshipping there ever in any want. Houses, food, clothing & jobs are all catered for. We can indeed learn about love & sacrifice from such Fellowships.

Jeremiah 31 v 31 - 33 the days are coming saith the lord, that i will make a new covenant with the house of israel and the house of judah, not according to the covenant that i made with their fathers etc . but this shall be the covenant that i will make,i will put my laws ( his words ) in the hearts of the ppl, remember jesus said he wd sow his seeds his words in the hearts of the world the field humanity god so loved the world etc a new covenant as god is love .and they shall no more teach their neighbor or their breathren know the lord, they shall all know me from the least to the greatest ( all know me from the least to the greatest ) amen ty jesus .jesus said if i belifted up ( the blood of the new covenant ) i will draw all men unto me . don'cha see the new covenant is all inclusive . go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

Gadd,

I have kept my eye on Iran as well, and our futures depend on peaceful brokerage between all sides.

Ezekiel 38 says that Persia will be among the nations that invade Israel. Israel is surrounded and prophesy is not on their side in this era. The middle east is a ticking time bomb, and time is a precious commodity.

you are not under the law but I am. The law has not been done away with is forever.

Margie : There is never a question when it comes to God healing his children. He ALWAYS heals his children ! ! He will either heal them here on Earth or he will call them home to be with him . Either way the child of God receives his or her healing. When a loved one gets sick and dies we feel as if God did not hear our prayers or let us down. In life or death Gods love never fails.

I am very sorry for you Gregory ,i am always dissapointed (even though i shouldnt be ) when a speaker (we have a different one each week usually ) doesnt tell me something about the Bible that i didnt already know .I know thats unreasonable of me but i cant help it ! And then i realise that just because he didnt tell me something i didnt already know that doesnt mean that some one else in the congregation didnt learn something ,so realy im being a bit selfish ,ive also heard speakers who base their whole sermon on picking on the less reputable people in the Bible ,talking about their mistakes and faults ,i never enjoy this either as im not convinced that i or anyone else of us would have been any better ! Maybe you should write some lessons ,the kind of things you would like to hear and post them on here for us ,that would be fab ! Please ,give that some thought ,much love to you in Christ .

Lex ,that a good idea ,all we have is today ,rejoice in Gods love for you today and look forward to tomorrow ,Christ is coming so we have a lot to be happy about ,dont let this world crush your joy in Him .

Norman Walker ,you sound perfectly comfortable and solidly grounded in your faith and understanding ,it doesnt sound as if you need this site much but we could sure do with more people like you helping us out on here ! So please stay around and help out when you feel moved to do so ,your calm and clear faith and understanding is like a cool drink on a hot day . Much love in Christ .

Hi Carolyn. If we have needs, we're to stop by the Church office and make known our needs. I worked in 'benevolence' in a church for 3 yrs.

If you read through gifts, Ministries, helps; God has called people to help others. To be the body of Christ on this earth.

Someday we'll be in heaven and all Christians will attend the Bema Seat Judgment handled by Jesus. No one goes to hell. They lose rewards.

1 Corinthians 3:9-15

2 Corinthians 4:13

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for THE DAY shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a REWARD. (Search: 5 Crowns)

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself SHALL BE SAVED, yet so as by fire.

COMMENT:

Question we ask ourselves honestly: what are we building with?

Are we building up the Body of Christ?

Jesus: we are to be imitating; doing. If we can't Go Ye, then maybe equip those that are? Commit to pray for the laborers to be sent into the Harvest? Luke 10:2

Isaiah 61:1-3, Psalm 147:1-3, Luke 4:18-21

* Matthew 25: 31-46*

I don't know anyone who gets it right all of the time. I don't. There are many great needs these days, and it's going to get worse. We elected leadership that does not know what a budget is for. Step 1: Make your requests known to God.

I'll post the 4 Horsemen of Revelation tomorrow. Book of Revelation will commence whether we believe it or not. Google Lists. Lots of people really work hard on making scripture easier to read.

Paul made it crystal clear in chapter 1 that the Christians in Corinth would stand guiltless before God on the day of the Lord. Their saving faith in Christ had been affirmed by the fact that they had received gifts from the Holy Spirit. These Corinthians are undoubtedly Christians.

Now, though, Paul says the fact that they are saved does not mean he can call them spiritual people. They are not living as spiritual people. They are still living as if they were of the flesh. Paul compares them to a person stuck in infancy, who should have matured enough by now to be ready for the solid food of deeper Christian teaching. Instead, they're still on a newborn's all-milk diet. This is not an entirely unique problem, as the writer of Hebrews chastised his readers for a similar weakness ( Hebrews 5:11-14). Instead of living in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit and according to God's wisdom about spiritual things, the Corinthian Christians are still behaving as if they were mere, unspiritual human beings ( 1 Corinthians 3:1-2).

We are the temple of God the Holy Spirit. When we are born again, he comes to indwell in our hearts and He is Our Teacher; if we will ask Him to teach us? It requires Bible study, praying, and practicing quietness so we can hear the Holy Spirit's still small voice.

He has milk, manna and meat. Scripture says to desire the pure milk. A believer that thinks they don't actually have to read the Bible, or attend church to learn: are carnal, live for fleshly pleasures: video games, beer parties, etc.

Jesus is not fire insurance against hell. He paid it ALL on the Cross and died for our personal sin debts. Watch The video, The Passion of the Christ, directed by Mel Gibson.

All this gets sorted out: Matthew 25:32-46 by Jesus Christ. His Bema Seat Judgment occurs before New Jerusalem. For rewards, or no rewards.

Live for Jesus every day.

Hello Gadd,

I have been hearing that Israel will bomb Iran for decades. I would not rule it out, I'll believe it when I see it. If that were the case, Israel were to attack Iran, we can only hope Iran's partners will react responsibly to maintain global order. It might just trigger world war 3, but what wouldn't at this point?

Missy Joe Allen,

I do believe you are alluding to Babylon's fall.

( Revelation 18:6) Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.

Using weapons no one has ever seen before, or defend against, by surprise; Belshazzar.

God help us when the curtain comes down.

Thank you OSEAS. I will keep your words in my heart. Just know? My post, the language of it, was not conversational.

I just politely restating text book science to say color has a science. I was scraping off social narratives, keeping color to its science and separate actually. I think color is a forgotten science - people just are not taught. Hence all the parsing out of GOD's color identity matched up to what is not color science relative, and becomes incongruous to color sciences, and makes colors laws muddy. Remember: Before you were clothed in Genesis 2:67 in earth' we were already Light! Science has laws of color in Heaven and here, that create unequivocal law and order in His science. Example: World plants for example? The leaves on shrubs are green lets say? Then per color science of photosynthesis 'the sun emits' colorful rays? Yes. By color laws? The green color of the leaf attracts and pairs (as designed) to attract the red rays to grow the green plant. This is the law of color science.

We have a GOD that chastens those He loves and you and I are obedient in devotion. Why? To keep His Kingdom's order, His peace. To the Creator's honor, no more arguing. I heard a Pastor say the other day that the opposite of 'Light' is 'dark'. Not true in fact. So I know color and Light need to be explained better. The KJV- John 8:12 is-as GOD's id is Light= Color. Absolutely 'dark' is not the 'opposite' of GOD's Light! His Light equal to dark? No. Anyway this cannot be. Anyway we know 'out of black or out of white' come all colors,and so Light wins. This is why we are told that in Heaven? We will see beautiful glorious Light only! All the colors! Now how beautiful will this be? (smile - great right?) Pretty wonderful I think that our GOD is Light and so He is Color and the color laws of Heaven bring the Peace and Light we all want. No more color agenda wars. AMEN. This will make the LORD very relieved I am sure. Much love to you friend.

We're not to forsake assembling together. That's because corporate prayer (everyone praying and praising together) is so powerful spiritually.

I listen to ministry programs on FM Radio, every day. Some preachers are elderly and others are younger. I enjoy their messages! Radio is listener supported, so if the radio signals are weak or stolen by "pirates", just report it to the FCC online by email.

A Pastor/Evangelist, Greg Laurie has good rapport with young people. He's close to my age and we both share being street ministers in the early 80's. He was in California, and I was in Roswell, the alien capital of the USA, LOL. Very very good memories! He'll be on cable soon.

I learned, when I moved to Tulsa OK, to appreciate all people in ministry and Not Judge. I heard that from the Holy Spirit with my ears. :O I got cured big time that day.

ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH YOU

John 16:7-8

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter (Teacher) will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Isaiah 11:2 (speaking of Jesus & the Holy Spirit)

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear (reverence;honor) of the LORD;

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, NOT in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, BUT which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

It takes some relationship to study and hear the Holy Spirit teach it, to your spirit. He knows what you need: milk, bread or meat. A quiet room works best.

He co-created this world, and Jesus went to the Cross to send the Holy Spirit to us. (Pentecost)

He is the Spirit of Christ. Ask HIM which Church He wants you to be in. Seek Him first.

Mishael

Laura,

I am not sure if you are truly seeking an answer to John 3:13 (your original question), or if you are passing on what you believe to be the answer?

I have read through your post several times trying to figure out what you are trying to say. Maybe I am just misunderstanding what you are saying but I am having a hard time coming up with the same understanding. What you are saying seems foreign to me. Sorry I couldn't be more help to answer your original question!

To Janet. This is Wesleys commentary on this scripture. You can find the Commentary Section by entering your book, chapter, verse in the SEARCH BOX and hit the arrow.

Wesley's Notes for Exodus 34:10

34:10 Behold I make a covenant - When the covenant was broke, it was Israel that broke it; now it comes to be renewed, it is God that makes it. If there be quarrels, we must bear all the blame; if there be peace, God must have all the glory. Before all thy people I will do marvels - Such as the drying up of Jordan, the standing still of the sun. Marvels indeed, for they were without precedent, such as have not been done in all the earth; the people shall see, and own the work of the Lord; and they were the terror of their enemies: it is a terrible thing that I will do.

My comment: Israel got right with God and he enabled them to destroy their enemies and chase them out. They became a terror ...

Try word Searching the word TERROR and see if other verses are in the Bible?

It's always interesting to me to read the other verses on the same subject.
