Can you help me to fully understand this chapter. Thanks

Darrin,

Feeling to reply to your post. I'm not sure what you mean in the first paragraph.

I am replying to your second paragraph. Now, believing "everyone gets everlasting life" is a nice thought and I myself do not want anyone to go to eternal damnation. Just as God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked and wants all to repent from the sins of this world and turn to Him through His Son Jesus Christ. I pray every night for everyone. Even the wicked people in this world just as the good. This does not mean "everyone gets everlasting life" or "no one gets cast into the lake of fire". God is Love but God is also just, pure, holy, righteous and hates sin. Full of everlasting mercy and lovingkindness for you and me. There is only One Judge and we will all be repaid, and held accountable, for our deeds here in this life. What will exactly happen after death I can not tell you. Though I will do my best to live a holy life, separate myself from the sins of this world, produce good fruit of the Spirit, and live for the Will of God to make Him happy. There is a difference of what is good and what is bad. Doing my best to follow in the footsteps of Christ so that I can be sure my name will be in the Book of Life. And not just guess. This is not just me saying this it is over and over in Scripture.

Here are a couple Scriptures that states the lake of fire is for more than just "3 spirits" as you assumed. Also that not everyone shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. If you have problems with these Scriptures I pray the Lord shall Bless you with understanding and truth.

Matthew 7:21-23

Matthew 25:31-46

Revelation 20:11-15

Maybe read the book of Jude. Read through all the Holy Scriptures for wisdom. That your soul shall be saved.

God Bless.

Dear Gabe,

I will pray. God has blessed you with freedom to make choices and take action and I also challenge you to take action towards improving this area of your life. So, instead of just asking God to take care of this for you, it's both praying and you doing your part. This is a good verse to repeat regularly: Philippians 4:13

We don't know each other, but I already detected a word you said had a negative slant to it and I don't believe is true. You wrote that you "can't" leave your home. But you can. Sometimes negative thoughts need to be challenged. If what is said is true, then surely it can withstand a few questions, right? Often we entrap ourselves in our own mental prison, because of our own negative thinking. So, instead of assuming you can't do things, assume you can. Instead of looking at glass half empty, look at it half full. Instead of looking at your life as what you don't have or can't do. Thank God and be greatful for all you have and all you CAN do. Keep repeating Philippians 4:13. That verse says you CAN not a can't. Who do you believe more, God, or that thought that said you can't? Where does the can't thought come from? Your parents, relative, spouse, you as a child, a boss, satan? Is it true only for you or for everyone else? Is it true 100% of the time, only part of the time, or none of the time? What if it wasn't true?

I'm not sure if you realize this, but many people used to have paralyzing anxieties and no longer do. If millions of people could learn to manage and improve in this area, don't you think there's a high % probability you can too? I'm sure you're aware of all the resources God has already blessed us with to help, like books and counseling with ideas. The #1 thing to reduce anxiety is exposure to the thing that triggers the anxiety, in tiny little increments. Open door, close it, open door take one step, go back, etc. Each day expanding, and using positive reinforcement. Then challenging our assumptions and negative thoughts. God bless..

earth- soil, ground. As we call it, Earth.

Hope this helps

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 "But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."

2 Corinthians 4:3 "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:" If you have a problem with these scriptures, It is with God for He wrote it, not me.

No COVID is not the end times. We've had bubonic plague, smallpox, flu etc. "pandemics" throughout history. It is a virus that spread and unfortunately took the lives of many, just as smallpox, etc.

The vaccination is just that..a vaccination. Noone said you can't buy or sell without receiving the vaccination. There's no anti-christ false god sitting in a temple demanding you take the vaccination. The mark of the beast will be placed upon the hand or the forehead. A vaccination doesn't go on your hand or forehead.

Most of these "famous prophets" "YouTube phonies" people are talking about are quacks. Discernment is key and based upon Biblical principles and understanding.

Weather events and natural disasters have been occurring since the Earth was formed. Due to social media, more news coverage and technology we are more aware of these events and the news of these events travels around the world in seconds now. Yes weather patterns change. That is natural for the Earth. When the whole sky blacks out and the sun doesn't shine upon the Earth, then, it's time to worry.

Please stop giving into all of this fiction and begin reading the truth.. your Bible. Misinformation is spreading fear and anxiety into the world.

If you seek Real answers, Read the Bible!

Hi Darren, I'm curious as to the source(s) of the information in your comments. If you wouldn't mind sharing. Thank you

Do animals have a soul ? Please provide scriptural reference . Thank you

In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray and ask the Lord to keep you and to Rebuke all the Wicked evil Spirits out of your life, In the Name of the son Jesus Christ i declare and decree these thing be done by faith and trust in The Lord. Amen

This is some scripture I look to when I need some comfort, This is part of the Beatitudes and sermon on the mount from Matthew chapters 5,6, and 7, and of course there are many more as we read on a daily basis.

may God bless you in your faith journey.

Matthew 5:2-48 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

The Acts 5 reference is not necessarily applied by the commentator but a random Scripture from this site.

I agree with what you've written. My problem is my niggling conscience that stops me lending any support or affirmation to a party or individual that holds to unbiblical values, indeed to anti Christ teaching. One could then say, 'who could one then vote for or support?' So it boils down to the dictates of the conscience & so one shouldn't feel guilty for not aligning with a particular party or personality as each of us is answerable to God for our decisions or judgements.

Saturn worship is literally the biggest deception on mankind in all of history and this line proves it.

Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected. He is the 1st complete born again Christian.

Jesus didn't have to be baptized either, but he did to fulfill scripture.

What is your life expectancy

Born again signifies you are like Jesus, a brother, void of sin. You can tell me you are born again, but you are still a sinner. That is self-evident. Does a leopard change its spots?

Besides, only 3 spirits are set in the lake of fire, not people. Spirits. I'm more inclined to believe that everyone gets everlasting life. Even bogey men like Stalin, Hitler, Judas etc, who did God's will by fulfilling prophesy, get in. Who standing at the great white throne, while trembling, will defy God? God is love, and God heals by changing our hearts and minds.

If God is not, "one being but three distinct persons (Trinity)", as you claim, than scripture must be wrong. Than as Paul states "God forbid". In John 14:26 why then did Jesus call the Comforter (Holy Ghost) "he" as in reference to a person as opposed to "it" as you would describe him, or in John 16:7 "but if I depart, I will send "him" unto you," another reference to the Holy Ghost, as a person. 16:13 "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."

Matthew 12:31 "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."

These are but a few scriptures to support that the Holy Ghost is a distinct part of the Trinity of God.

As per your claim "The Spirit is not a person" it would be nice to see some scripture to support your view.

Luke 12:12,

1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." 1 John 5:8 "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

John 16:7-16 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."

Struggling with teenager temptations, as a Christian as such a young age I want to continue to grow and build my relationship and bond with Jesus my savior please write me any scriptures and email me for more info god bless this fallen world.

Can you loose your salvation.

Mystery Babylon America and the whole Babylonian system comes down at the day of the Lord ( Isaiah 47). America and her partner in crime Israel will both be taken at the abomination of desolation: America is taken at 3 pm EST (spoiler at noonday), and Israel is simultaneously invaded at 11 pm local time.

The 5th trumpet marked by 9-11-01 is almost past. Waiting on Rev 6:14, Rev 6:12 and Malachi 4:5 to show. Our visitation is practically at the door. Jesus thief with his iron and clay northern army will simultaneously turn both lands into a desolate wilderness. No, not even the mighty US will have the strength to save Israel from their fate ( Luke 21:20-24). Anti-christ will be sitting in the temple, claiming he's God. The only enemy in sight will be his own fractured beast army. The 6th trumpet is going to be the greatest show on earth.

Actually Cain is the son of Adam because Adam and Eve was the first man and woman ever to be created by God and because of their disobedience Cain and Abel his brother come into existence to know more about it reading the book of Genesis from the beginning will tell you everything

God said in his word ask and it shall be given you knock and the door shall be open seek and you shall find.If a evil man know how to give good gifts to his son well when you ask the Lord Jesus for something he will give it to you all you have to do is to obey the Lord and live by his word and anything you asked of him he will bless you with. And remember now we are children of the king our King is king of all Kings and Lord of all Lords and there is nothing impossible for him to do and also don't forget before we was formed in our mother's wom he knew us and before we was borned he laid the foundation down for us so he wants us to ask him for whatever we need but also don't forget Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 1 tells us if we obey God and do as he command automatically we are blessed in everything we do but also God want us to pray and ask him for whatever we need but our prayer must be very sincere and remember now we can't fool God so if you are very sincere with your prey and you obey his word yes the Lord Jesus will give you what ever you ask of him.

If you reject commentators' understanding of Matthew 11:16,17, how do you then understand those verses?

I generally accept a comment, if made by one well studied in the Scriptures & who gives it a good support/defence, but leave the matter open till the Spirit reveals otherwise. So what I'm saying is, let's not discount all commentaries as I believe many of them have much to teach us as well, that will help us in understanding the Bible better. Otherwise, one should refuse to attend a Fellowship as the preacher offers a verbal commentary to us.

The Peace Prayer by John Michael Talbot on Youtube. It's just a song by a singer. Nothing else.

I hear the sweetness of Jesus in your words. It is always ok to ask Jesus for more: more light, a deeper understanding, a window into His heart to see the love He has for all people.

To be a part of His body; in the body of Christ: his hands, his feet, his ear to hear the cries of people in need or lost in spiritual darkness. There's a song I sing: ' Lord make me an Instrument'. It's on YouTube.

May the Lord show you every answer that you seek; and give you a hunger for more.

What is the meaning of, 'Son of man'?

One of the Old Testament chart websites about the prophesy and the fulfilling of it by Jesus. 459

Born again is an act of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said you can feel the wind blow but you can't tell where it's from and where it goes. This means we have no part in receiving the Holy Spirit in order to be born again. It's all the act of God for those He choose before the world was created. God bless!

I love that Psalm too. I often go to Psalm 51 too. I make mistakes. I sit with King David a while.

No, the Bible states that God saw what He created was good. If God had declared it good, then His own declaration would make it so and evil will have no place here. Isaiah 55:11 gives us this understanding. God bless you.
