I was wondering if I could get a simple explanation of the Battle of Armageddon?

This was good. Thank you so much for the bible being onlne!

1 Peter 2:24

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

I'm doing a study on witnessing and how we should witness, have a desire to witness, how to witness without being overwhelmed or trying to memorize too much scripture. Would love to hear some others input, scripture reference. testimony, etc... anything you feel might be helpful in teaching others about witnessing.

Hi Andrew ,Deuteronomy ch 6 v 4 ,how can any one misread this ,ive spent a while over the last few days looking up the references for both sides and i am genuinely mystified as to why any one can ever believe that Jesus is God ,im dumbfounded by it ,it reminds me of when i was a child ,my parents divorced when i was 7 and my mum would occasionaly have a boyfriend and she once asked me if i wanted to call him (brian i think ) ,dad and even at that age i knew what was false and said 'but hes not my dad is he ' , im starting to wonder if we are reading the same book ,i was brought up without religion and when i wanted to know about it i didnt ask any ones opinion ,i came to the Bible as an ignoramus ,i took it all at face value and wasnt interested in what any one else thought about any of it ,i knew that if God wants us ,me ,to get to know Him he wont make it hard to understand ,He doesnt want us to be confused or unsure ,He says what He means plainly ,im not highly educated yet i can understand it ,i can only think it must be some sort of outside influence ,maybe subconcious ? I just dont understand why people have this belief ,its mystifying .I hate to say this as it does sound aggresive but i wonder if its the 'i know something you dont ' attitude ,causing division in order to exclude people who dont agree with you ,i know thats a spitefull thought from me but i just cant understand the reasons behind it .Sorry if i sound nasty i really dont mean to but im completely at a loss to figure it out .

It's possible because when he was young he was an avid reader. I know in my heart that God inspired Abraham when he was blessings his Son's.

Thank You

Thanks Richard,

God has given us his inspired scripture, and he has given us servants to carry out his Message, ""Messengers" these Messengers are gifts and he also given the messengers gifts.

Ephesians 4:1-15. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

WITH all LOWLINESS and MEEKNESS, with LONGSUFFERING, forbearing one another in LOVE;

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of PEACE.

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and CARRIED ABOUT WITH EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE, by the sleight of men, and CUNNING CRAFTINESS, WHEREBY THEY LIE IN WAIT TO DECEIVE;

But speaking the TRUTH IN LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

John 14:6-7. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,

""If the messengers don't display the truth, Christ is not in him and we don't follow his teachings, because we being Jesus sheep don't hear Jesus voice, MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE!

2 Corinthians 5:19

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the word unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Yes, Adam was the 1st man, but, he was the 1st man that had breath in him. The other men were just existing. God is infinite, he can do whatever he want at any moment and time.

Good morning! Was it not the flesh of Jesus with no sin of its own that suffered as God in man while the Spirit of God looked on?

Life is so short in these days especially.

The stress of other's are on their faces as l walk by. I try to bring God's love to them with caring and kindness. But so far away they look at me, as a stranger to beware.

Have they not seen in the Bible that Jesus will be right next to them carrying their problems.

Prayer to Him for help will bring your Angel close to you with protection from the Light of our HEAVENLY Father. Our light that shines in us will be close by in trouble of our enemy. What looks impossible in the world's way of thinking becomes possible in the Heavens above. Our God is a awesome God. His strength can knock any evilness close by. Stand strong now with the Spirit that dwells in you. Reach up to Heaven. Ask for help. You will feel His presence close around you protecting you. Spoken from someone that has walked alone learning the hard ways and writing them down. Now l look back and understand how l got my strength to help others in these evil, lonely days. My body is weak-- but my spirit of the Light l carry in me is STRONG!!!

I agree, John was unique, we're probably splitting hairs here, God bless

I enjoy your posts

May you continue in your seeking truth , And sharing it .

You have good clarity of thought and good bible understanding, a few points I may not agree with but I never met anyone I fully agree with either. But those things can be worked on .

But outright error is not of God that many have , unknowingly , because they look to men for answers , and not in Gods word .

What strange flesh means? Is it race-mixing or bestiality or homosexuality?

John 2:45

Jesus said that if people are not of God they will not hear or understand. The Pharisees where the perfect example .

We all are learning and growing in the knowledge of God and truth Or have rejected it . Gods will is that all will come to the knowledge of the truth . In time before judgement day . But many refuse .

But When Jesus appears then all will come to the knowledge of the truth . But as He said be ready for he comes quickly .

This is my hope the time when I see him as He is , and will be changed to be like him ! Amen

On the last day .

While I'm not totally clear what Paul is talking about here, maybe some Jewish tradition, IDK it's unclear.

At first I thought You can not come to the Father but through the son and the believer was that avenue, it just wasn't sitting well.

After a lot of prayer and a lot of digging, two words came to me. Born again. You must be born again to get to heaven. How do you do that?

You should understand who Jesus is, the Son of God, that you are a sinner in need of a saviour, and believe (what Jesus did).

(The Gospel)

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"

Believe the Gospel and you will recieve the Holy Spirit, God's mark on your soul, and be saved.. You can not lose it.

Call out to Jesus, thank him for his life saving sacrifice!

Hi Sacha,

You are welcome. Yes may those great days come upon us all soon.

John 10 . 36

The Pharisees Where going to stone Jesus for Blasphemy, being a man and making himself God according to the Pharisees understanding.

But Jesus corrected the Pharisees, he said he was THE SON OF GOD . Not GOD . The spirit of error can not understand the difference just like the Pharisees.

Pagan named Holidays vs Christian

Easter was originally the celebration of Ishtar, the Assyrian and Babylonian goddess of fertility and sex. After Constantine decided to Christianize the Empire, Easter was changed to represent Jesus. But at its roots, Easter (which is how you pronounce Ishtar) is all about celebrating fertility and sex.

Ishtar(ProperNoun) A goddess of fertility, love, sex and war. In the Babylonian pantheon, she was the divine personification of the planet Venus. Assyrian and Babylonian counterpart to the Sumerian Inanna and to the cognate northwest Semitic goddess Astarte.

Pagan goddess of Easter

"Eostre"

But in English-speaking countries, and in Germany, Easter takes its name from a pagan goddess from Anglo-Saxon England who was described in a book by the eighth-century English monk Bede. "Eostre was a goddess of spring or renewal and that's why her feast is attached to the vernal equinox."

Passover is the Christian equivalent to the pagan Holiday of Easter.

The word "Easter" (or its equivalents) appear in the Bible only once in Acts 12:4. This passage refers to Herod killing John, the brother of James. Peter was to be next, so Peter was put in prison until after the pagan holiday of Easter (for Jews & Christians, the Passover). That's the night the Angel of the Lord broke Peter out of prison! Hallelujah!

As Christians living in the last days before Jesus's Return, let us not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

When my son was young, we did not observe Halloween period. We went to school Harvest celebration: fish pond, cake walks, etc. I gave him 20.00 to spend on Brachs candy, NOT Halloween candy. Best I could do. He had fun.

Passover/Easter we went to church. I bought reg. Big candy bars & we hid them all over the house. We'd find candy bars through JULY, and just laugh and arm wrestle for it. He knew Pink Energizer Bunny was a toy and Jesus went to the cross for our sins. Best I could do...

Mishael

Revelations Chapter 12 1:17, what Child Is this about Jesus? If so, why does Revelations state that A Woman was about to give birth and the dragon let a flood out of it's mouth to wash the woman away. The earth took the flood away. I am confused, are they refering to Jesus?

Thank You,

God Bless,

Hello S Spencer,

Thank you for that kind reply. It seems we have the same mind as I enjoy to read and agree with your detailed posts. Just as you stated Matthew 7:20-23. I also brought that up in that it doesn't matter how much we prophecy, or cast out devils(speaking in tongues also) that is not what saves us. God searches hearts and knows His sheep.

As in another post of yours I also agree Jesus Christ pre-existed. Having Scripture that shows this. Thank you for all of your detailed posts. You also being connect to the true vine our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 21:22-23 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Revelation 22:1-7 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve Him:

And they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads.

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

And He said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to shew unto His servants the things which must shortly be done.

Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Yes John inherited flesh from Adam and needed to be born again .

But When God the father wants to do something or use someone, no one can prevent him from his will .

Remember Jesus said God could raise up stones to worship as Jesus came into Jerusalem on a donkey ?

With God all things are possible, he proves that often .

If God chooses to use anyone he will equip and use them .

So John the man was used by God , read about it ...

God seems to enjoy doing the impossible for those that trust him . How about the parting of the Red Sea ! That's contrary to the laws of nature . So many examples in the bible .

Yea, of a truth; the roman catholic church is responsible for renaming pagan gods (i.e. "God the son" aka nimrod & "God the holy spirit" aka semiramis; which are no gods) & pagan festivals to cause unlearned "christians" who don't study the scriptures and do their due dilligence to go to hell.

If you research the origin of the christ-mass (which literally means the massacre of Christ) aka "christmas" you will find out that it is actually the roman pagan festival called saturnalia. Jesus Christ wasn't born on Dec 25th, nor was his birthday celebrated in Scripture. Dec. 25th is the winter solstice when the Sun-god is worshipped by pagans.

Likewise Easter is actually a pagan holiday in reverence to ishtar aka diana aka semiramis : the pagan sun goddess of fertility.

This is why all 501c3 roman/babylonian whorehouses masquerading as "churches" all have easter sunrise service where they face the east.

This is why Herod celebrated easter.

But the great whore MYSTERY BABYLON MOTHER OF HARLOTS (aka the roman catholic church) and all her jesui infiltrated daughters don't want you to know that.

"Take heed that no man deceive you."

-Jesus Christ

What is Nisan 14?

Dear Adam,

With all due respect, I've given you the word of God, not my interpretation, and you have rejected it choosing to cleave to the witchcraft/theology of rome and her 501c3 seminary indoctrinated sorcerers.

The problem here is when I read John 1:1, "and the Word was God"; I believe it as it is written, the written (yes every word of the kjv) or spoken word/logos was God (in the beginning it was only spoken). The Word was with God and the Word was God. Verily in the same way my Word also is with me and I am my Word, it represents me.

But when you read John 1:1, you believe the word; Word: actually means Son of God or Christ. This is because you have been taught to believe this by Rome. This is called witchcraft, the purposeful twisting of words to mean something other than what they mean.

God didn't die on a cross.

God cannot die, and has never been born. He is without beginning or ending.

The Holy Spirit is eternal.

The son of God, the man Christ Jesus( 1 Tim. 2:5) died on a cross, and God resurrected him.

Yes Jesus Christ was a man.

But he wasn't just any man, he was the son of God born without sin, because the Holy Spirit was his Father and a virgin was his mother, therefore he was not born under the curse of Adam, and he lived a sinless life yet being tempted in all the ways we are so he would be the sinless sacrifice for all humanity.

He was also that prophet spoken of by God to Moses:

Deuteronomy 18:18

18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

Just because He spoke the words of His Father (as you referenced John 8:58), does not make Him a "person of the godhead". Many prophets spoke the word of God and didn't claim to be part of the godhead. That is heresy. The word godhead is a singular word, not plural and there are no "persons" in it.

This is your final admonition to come out of Babylon (rome).

Be well.

Matthew 13:16-17 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Matthew 13:47-50 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God; is called the Everlasting Father because He is now seated on the throne on the right hand of the Father (remember God is a Spirit he doesn't have hands- right hand just means place of authority(like "right hand man" - this is why he said in Matthew 28:18 " all authority has been given to me in heaven and earth") in his glorified body and the same Holy Spirit dwelling in that glorified body.

This is how Jesus and the Father are one:

By the Holy Spirit (who is His Father) dwelling in Him.

That same Holy Spirit dwells in Christians and causes them to speak in tongues & prophesy.

Praise the Lord!

Greetings in Jesus' name, Josephine.

The Israelites kept their sabbath based on a lunar calendar. We can always see the sabbath and the new moon referenced together. The sabbath day was always the day after the new moon..and then every 7th day after that until the next new moon.

So it is not a certain day of the week on the gregorian (named after pope gregory) calendar.

For this month since the last new moon it has been on the day we call Saturday, which by no coincidence was also the day passover fell on.

That said, the sabbath day is a holy convocation pointing to the 7th day 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ and His bride. This is the rest that remaineth spoken of in Hebrews. Christians do no enter into a day of the week. However, there is nothing wrong with observing the sabbath, and meeting with other Christians on the Lord's day (the day after); the first day of the week.

I hope this blesses you.

Be well, Andrew

Thanks for sharing your evidence. I agree with all the scriptures and believe and trust in the Bible. I don't trust your interpretion of it, however, as to arrive at such a conclusion you first have to cherrypick a few verses and ignore many verses. Secondly, the few cherrypicked have to then be interpreted in an unconventional, distorted way.

So, it sounds like you don't believe Jesus is God, despite the scripture clearly saying that in these scriptures and elsewhere: John 10:30, John 1:1, 1 John 5:7-8. Jesus is the Word and the Word is God is 100% clear to even children readers.

The first piece of evidence you used to claim He's not God is Matthew 16:15-17 saying He's the Son of God. But these aren't mutually exclusive. It sounds like you're assuming Jesus somehow can't be both God and the son of God. That's not much different than someone claiming God the Father can't be God, because He's the Father. So, I think your interpretation of this being 'evidence' that Jesus isn't God is a false assumption.

2 Corinthians 5:19 - God in Christ. That too doesn't mean Christ isn't God's son or isn't God. That involves making yet another assumption.

John 20:17 - this is your strongest piece of evidence, but again, I believe you have to make another false assumption and ignore earlier in the same book where it clearly says the Word (Jesus) was God. How can you refute that verse so easily. The Bible says Jesus is God in many places, He had the power of God to perform miracles, He died for you, and you prefer to ignore the parts of John that say He's God in favor of the part that says His father is God to draw such a conclusion. Just because you have a hard time understanding the trinity doesn't mean one must rush to such a conclusion to disregard John 1:1, John 1:14, John 8:58, Titus 2:13, Matthew 1:23, etc.

One thing I do agree with you on is to not trust man's interpretation. That's why I don't trust your interpretation, but trust what the Bible says. God bless you.
