Sadly, so many are so unlearn that we have a tense to Judge so quickly tell we can't understand. The law was set for the children, Isreal. If we read the word of God carefully, Abraham had two wives, Jacob had two wives, King Davis had two wives, and so owned this was a comma practice in the early days. In New Testament, the Gentiles that were all baptized in Jesus' name was all Die in the watery grave was all risen in newness. 1 Corinthian 7: 10-16 explain. Now for the two wives, which was a practice in the early church, this is one reason why the Office of a Bishop must have one wife. Remember in your study what happens between Sarah and Haggi Jacob Rachel and Leah. I want to go into greater detail, but some of my teaching you will find in The Word of Truth Ministry.

If he's saved you will find him

Galatians 3:26-28 (KJV) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Hi Sam,

Just to put in my perception of this issue you brought up. If you want to greet people with a new word thinking it is going to do something better feel free. Do you really feel that shows more love to others? Though in my eyes it really does nothing.

Are we not to love in deed and in truth from the heart? Not just from the mouth in where saying "I love you" to someone so much may become empty. It may become just as empty faith. What matters is if you are showing your love to that person in life in deeds/kindness etc. Not just words. Isaiah 29:13, James 2:14-18.

We must come to the realization that the entire English language was put together by "pagan" people. There are many, many, words that may have some meaning to them. Though to us it is just a word in our language.

Truly I would not give so much thought to using the word "hello". As I saw you said people should change their names if it has "hel" in it? How can you stop there? What about the word "help"? A new word for that too? You might as well make a whole new language. If that makes you feel good have fun. Please don't think using certain normal words in a kind way does anything wrong.

Thinking that way would just be going down a rabbit hole with no end. Focus more on the Word of God and doing the will of our Father in Heaven.

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life!

God Bless you Sam.

I'm trying to figure out if this is after Ezra or during. Sounds like during as Ezra was rebuilding, but the adversaries had the King cease the rebuild, but later finished the build. But the build with Ezra was the temple not Jerusalem.

The One Verse you wish you'd known when you where in Israel

Where is black people in the bible

Why do you assume no one in the Bible was ever baptized in father, son, holy ghost? I bet most people were. Just because something isn't quoted in the Bible doesn't mean something didn't happen. For instance, the Bible never says Jesus took a bath or used the restroom, but it's not illogical to assume He did, in fact, it would be illogical to assume He didn't.

Others here have given you some lovely Scriptures on Wisdom & advice. However, I suspect that you might be thinking of a biblical book that is not found in the KJV Bible. This would be the Wisdom of Solomon which is what is considered an Apocryphal Book, i.e. a book (of which there are many) that was deemed unworthy to be included in the canon of Scripture.

If you need to look at this book, then this Website provides it (& others), under the Tab "More" and then click on 'Standard KJB Apocrypha'. These apocryphal books did not meet the standards set by those who formed the Canon of Scripture & even the Jews, though accepting of many of their written & oral traditions, held doubts over these apocryphal (= hidden) books as authoritative.

Simply put using the Bible translation of the NLT...

James 1:5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.

Does this verse have anything to do with sharing cook fire with another family?

How can we find the fulfillment of an OT verse marked with white star, and black star fulfillment in NT?

Hi,

Thanks for your comments!

God tell us not to be conform to the ways of the carnal world!

Just because the people in the world speak a certain way doesn't, make it right!

"Therefore come out from their midst and be separate, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean, and I will receive you." 2 Corinthians 6:17

Romans 13:8

You give more glory to The Lord, Jesus Christ, when you greet people with "LoveO". God Is LOVE.

Faith worketh by Love." Galatians 5:6

The powerful armor God works by Love. Love never fails!

Ephesians 6:11-17

11. "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."

12. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

13. "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."

"

14. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place"

15. "And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of Peace."

16. "In addition to all this, take up the Shield of Faith, with this you are able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."

17. "Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is The Word of God.

Dixie, the closest passage that comes to mind in the NT is found in James 1:19: "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath". But this verse would apply generally, that a person ought to listen first & then speak and certainly in the case with God, that we would always have our ears inclined towards Him.

We see the division of the Land of Canaan "by lot" quite often, beginning at Joshua 13:6: "All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee."

We're not told how Joshua made the "division of the land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh" (v7), whether by a Word from God or by simply dividing up the land & allocating portions to the tribes of Israel (not forgetting that Levi, Manasseh & Ephraim received no allocation). Maybe, the tribes that received their portions had some say as to where they would prefer to settle on the western side of the Jordan River. So to 'divide by lot' in this case, would mean to allocate the land to the various tribes, whether by 'lottery' or specifically according to the tribes' preferences.

Hi Merlinda. Many have wondered why Pharaoh & the Egyptians were treated so harshly by God, when prior to sending out the various plagues we often read that God had hardened Pharaoh's heart.

We first see that Pharaoh was an evil man, a brutal dictator who also enslaved the Israelites with terrible abuse & oppression. As well, he believed that he was a god or at least, an intermediary to the pantheon of gods (even as the people considered the pharaohs) & there was none their equal. So Pharaoh could say, "Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go." ( Exodus 5:2). So Pharaoh's heart was already opposed & hardened towards the God Whom Moses & Aaron represented as we also see in some references: Exodus 7:22; 8:15,19,32; 9:7,34,35.

So when we read that it was God Who hardened the Pharaoh's heart ( Exodus 4:21; 7:3; etc.), we have to conclude that indeed God did affect Pharaoh's heart against Him, but his heart was already hard & stubborn & God simply ensured that his heart would remain so during the time of affliction & punishment. God could well have done this to remind Pharaoh who this God of Moses was, the mightier works that He can do than what Pharaoh's magicians could do & how grossly wicked Pharaoh's acts were against the Israelites that warranted such stern punishment. Yet, God was still merciful in sparing the Egyptians lives, in spite of their suffering & loss of human life.

What should have been a repentance & softening of Pharaoh's heart, remained hard & this hardness was then made harder by God proving His Power over the Egyptians & His Love for His people, Israel, to free them from tyranny. Romans 9:17: "For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth." cf Exodus 9:16.

Proverbs 8 is an excellent chapter regarding wisdom. Jesus said in John 14:6,"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the father but by me." He is truth. He is wisdom. If you want wisdom, ask our Father! Christ is so gracious to answer our prayers!

Deloris- ON WISDOM read my post below

Here is a beautiful passage with wisdom speaking This is from the King James Bible. Proverbs Chap9 is about wisdom too

Wisdom's Call: Proverbs chapter 8.

Proverbs 8:1-4

1.Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

2.She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

3.She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

4.Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man....

Proverbs 8:22-36

22.The Lord possessed me (Wisdom) in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23.I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24.When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25.Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

26.While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

27.When he prepared the heavens I was there: when he set a compass on the face of the depth:

28.When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29.When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment:

when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30.Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31.Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

32.Now therefore hearken unto me O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my my ways.

33.Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.

34.Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35.For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

36.But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Oh yes, Go first to the Holy Spirit and the Scripture ..... the Mind of the Spirit no rust our God is a consuming FIRE I also like Charles Capps. Thank you Mishael, I appreciate all that you share.

Dolores, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS WISDOM and HIS understanding.

Proverbs 8 explains wisdom: Read it in the light that Jesus Christ IS WISDOM and it will have a lot more meaning.

I will write to you a little later. One preacher who speaks well on the Authority of Jesus is Charles Capps, can be viewed on YouTube. I still watch them.

Blessings on you. Ask the Holy Spirit to anoint you and teach you.

Shalom and Multiple Divine Blessings!! Eternally!! :)

"Strive to enter in at the strait {narrow} gate; Lu. 13:24 (cp. Mt. 7:13-14) =

CHRIST used the present tense, imperative verb "strive" to describe the Christian's vigorous and strenuous struggles fraught with many temptation, difficulties. and dangers while living the daily Christian life. "Striving" certainly implies ever-present spiritual zeal, for "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" ( Mt. 6:34b). Of special interest, the Greek noun rendering of the verb translated into "strive" is (pronounced "ag-ONE"), and from which the English language derives the noun "agony".

who is the angel of the church?

I love Psalm 23 it is a Psalm my mother would recite this all through the day it was her favorite psalm, she taught it to me had me recite, taught me the true word of what this meant to the saved children of Christ. I now today read first before each bible study meditate upon it, and apply to every situation in my life. I may even find my self reciting through the day as well. Just wanted to share that,

Forever Be Blessed All

I cannot fimd WISDOM in my bible

Why is it that "people who talk about Jesus" can act worse than people who scoff at Scripture, calling it a fable?

People say "bad Christian," while I think no true Christian CAN act badly!

Thanks for your comments!

To clarify, I am saying, you can use the word hell anytime you want, but that it is spiritually much better for people to greet other people with, LoveO, instead of HellO!

Subconsciously and spirituality over time it is better for both the sinners and the saints!!

I certainly do like people saying to me "LoveO",

Reminding me that I owe love to people.

If for the pass 200+ years, the sinners and the saints were greeting each other with "LoveO", instead of HellO, there would be a lot less 'hell' in the world today!

--------------------------------

Also, if someone's name is Hellen, or some other word that has some negative overtones to it, then they can change their name to something more positive, if they want to! God changes peoples names all the time!!

Look at Abram!

God changed Abram's name to Abraham, and then God changed Abraham's wife's name from "Sarai," meaning "my princess," to "Sarah," meaning "mother of nations". Genesis 17:5 and Genesis 17:15



God changes names of people for spiritual reasons all the time!

God The Father even gives Christ a "new name", and this is for "spiritual" reasons first.

Revelation 3:12

"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name."

Looking up into the evening sky and seeing man's lights reminding me of freeway traffic does not inspire me. Turning away from them and admiring God's lights makes me think of His Son.

Excellent
