Self control is not left out and is very important as you know. It is the word "temperance" at the end of the fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5:23.
God Bless.
Why would he risk lying to this bunch of sexual perverts?
Jesus's ministry was powerful because he told truth saying, Repent and believe the Gospel! As I was reading this Chapter I saw the power of the mere words of our God. Simon Andrew James and John only ned to hear follow me and they went. ll he need to do was speak to the demons and they went out. There was so much power just in the words that Jesus said. All things obeyed the Lord showing his power and might. I learned through this there is power in the words we say. IT can bring forth life and life more abundantly. There is much Power in the things we say seeing now those who are born again have been given the authority of Christ. Beautiful description of how JEsus started and moved his ministry by the Power of the tongue. ALL THINGS OBEY THE LORD
I am thrilled you read the OT, it is rich with details. It's like 12 guys telling an insurance agent their version of the accident. Just for the fun of it, in a category called: Know your prophets:
Isaiah walked 3 years naked and barefoot.
And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
Ezekiel 4, God told them to eat human dung, but the prophet talked God into eating cow dung as a sign of Northern kingdom's Assyrian captivity.
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth. Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. Ezekiel 4:14-15
What do you make of Isaiah 14:2 Egypt and slavery connection, both 400 years?
It is good reminder to service others and to give praises.

I haven't seen you on the board in a few days. Hope you are OK.
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days SCOFFERS, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they WILLINGLY are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be BURNED UP.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be DISSOLVED and the elements shall MELT with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his PROMISE, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that YE MAY BE FOUND of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

I'm not too sure these girls were virgins because Lot their father would have noticed blood on him the next day. Also being drunk would have been difficult for penetration. Maybe Lot thought they were Virgins. Anyway, that's my thought. God bless you
no part of revelation is going to occur in the physical sense.
revelation is spiritual warfare for the kingdom of heaven.
revelation is completely symbolic.
isaiah 9:5 now every (natural) battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this (spiritual battle) shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
isaiah 9:19 ....and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire....
isaiah 4:4 when the lord (a consuming fire hebrews 12:29) shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of (new) zion, and shall have purged the blood of (new) jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgement and the spirit of burning.
luke 12:49 i am come to send fire on the earth; and what be i (the fire), if it (the fire) be kindled already?
matthew 4:11 ....he shall baptize you with the holy spirit and with fire;
isaiah 9:18 for wickedness burneth as the fire (our god is a consuming fire).....
isaiah 10:16 .... and under his glory (us) he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
isaiah 24:15 wherefore glorify ye the lord in the fires ....
isaiah 31:9 ....whose fire is in (new) zion, and his furnace in (new) jerusalem.
isaiah 33:14 .....who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burning?
where the fire is never quenched (our god is a consuming fire)
isaiah 42:25 therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle; and it (the battle) hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it (the battle) burned him, and he laid it not to heart.
ezekiel 5:2 thou shall burn with fire a third part in the midst of the (new jerusalem, christ in you).....
zachariah 13:9 and i will bring the third part through the fire ....
revelation 8:1-13
revelation 9:18 by these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire...brimstone...smoke....
hebrews 9:27
1 peter 4:17
I want to just add a little comment here. The Adam and Eve story was not a test. Notice God did not mentioned the tree of life until Adam ate the fruit. In a test, one has to have knowledge of a subject in order to be tested on it. The subject here is death. There is no way Adam could have had full knowledge of death because he was just 3 days old. At this time Adam, Eve and the animals only know to obey God's command "not to eat," the fruit of that tree, and they all were in full compliance.
Now in chapter 3 we are introduced to a third character, the serpent, who I like to call "the teacher." When God created the evil spirit, it choose the serpent to go into. So it was the evil spirit in the serpent that was talking with Adam and Eve to do the act of sin. I have so much more to comment on this but I'll just conclude by saying, God creates everything for a purpose. The tree was for the purpose of giving the knowledge of evil then sin and finally the knowledge of death. So what happened in the garden of Eden was exactly what was supposed to be. There is a saying "IF THERE IS A POSSIBLE FOR SOMETHING TO GO WRONG, IT WILL GO WRONG." God bless you
Adam was formed by God from DUST. That is why humans are different colors. That and the inter-marrying with other tribes, groups, from other countries.
God Purposed: Let us make man
Jesus spoke that Purpose
The Holy Spirit performed it
All 3 creating together = The Godhead.
None of that is important to God. He just wants us to look like JESUS on earth: merciful, kind, loving, follower of right things (not evil), and forgiving. Speaks the truth in love; not anger or prejudiced. It's hard, but the rewards on earth and in Heaven are HUGE.
Science has proved that dust contains all colors of the spectrum.

The Holy Spirit is spirit
Jesus is fully God, and fully man.
The Bible calls them 'The Godhead'
Spirit means invisible to the human eye, but they are audible to the Human ear.
Satan can fake speech too. If it scares you and gives you the creeps... it probably him. :/
Don't listen to That voice.
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
1 Corinthians 10:23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
I don't think recovering alcoholics should test this out. Also, if you crash your car after drinking, your insurance could be cancelled; plus the cost of insurance goes up.
If you cause a death with a vehicle, complications and lawsuits ensue.
I worked at a DMV 23 yrs. The cost of a DWI is upwards of $9000, or more. The cost of an Uber ride is much less.
If other people see a Christian out drinking, it may influence their decision to accept Christ.
If your heart condemns you, think about that. If you or other people are not edified, then follow your conscience.
It's just as nice to meet at a coffee hangout to drink designer coffee & eat pie. Conversation is great and being sober leads to just as interesting conversations.
My friends and I would meet at a taco restaurant after church and get a huge platter of nachos with all kinds of stuff piled on and 6 or 7 people could graze on that. It was always edifying and fun! We prayed and talked about our experiences with Jesus that week. It beats being single and being home alone talking to the walls.
Sharpen your friendship skills and invite some other singles to meet up there at a specific time and place.
It's the "worlds voice" that says we have to do this with alcohol and music loud enough to cause nose bleeds.
Take a listen on YouTube to a song about not being part of the world system anymore. Type this=

The Lord bless you, Mishael
Like Sacha, I also begin my prayer with Dear Heavenly Father, or sometimes just Heavenly Father. When I am done praying, I thank Him in Jesus' name.
When I pray, I pray for the Lord's will to be done in whatever it is I am asking for.
I was taught that prayer is a means by which we submit ourselves to God's will in whatever it is we are praying for.
I believe that when we ask according to His will, we have a guarantee that our prayer will be answered. But just know, it's according to His will, not ours.
