Why the red color on some sentences and not just leave it naturally?

Hi Donna, I would have only one question, is the word of God being taught? we went through this exact situation a number of years ago in our church, some left on so called principle but most stayed, at the end of the day we survived.

I'm fully aware of what it says in 1 Corinthians, but, as in Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." this would be more of my view of what the word church really means as opposed to the physical building used for worship. I don't read any version of the bible other than KJV, but as per others that are much more learned than myself, the KJV is more accurate. Like in our church, I'm sure the fellowship in your church would be like family, Just a question, would bible study as a group work. Throughout the bible you find that there are a number of women who influenced their fellow man proclaiming Jesus ministry, I've listed just a few.

I do hope this may help

John 4:25-29 Because of the Samaritan woman at the well, many came to believe,

Romans 16:1 "I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:"

Romans 16:3 "Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:"

Acts 9:36-42 40 "But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up."

I am 80 and I am a Catholic and I have read the Bible but it got lost

And I am going to read a page every day and maybe it will help my memory if I read it again.

I don't believe that you, nor anyone else in this world, will be able to "put an end to sin". You must have a plan for this, so it would be interesting to know what that plan is. As far as I know, it's only the Cross of Christ that provides the sinner the only way to have his sins forgiven & be made acceptable to God. The Cross never removed man's sin, no matter how wicked the sin may be. So, if the Cross can't do it, do you really believe we can do better?

The Bible tells us that sin will one day be finally eradicated before the new heavens & earth are brought down, when Satan, his demons & his disciples, indeed death & Hell, are finally locked away in the Lake of Fire (Revelation chapter 20): all this tells me that sin, which is the very nature of Satan & his dominion will have no more access in the lives of mankind. I can't see how you or I could have any part in the eradication; if we can't properly deal with our present sin, we have little hope in dealing with the sins of the rest of mankind. But what we can do, is to share the Gospel of Love that brings forgiveness and reconciliation, that some other desperate sinful souls might be spared eternal death.

Hi, Chris!

This is Aaron, Edna's great grandson, again.

Is there an email address that she could use to ask questions? I'm trying to figure out how to make using the discussion function as easy as possible for her. She is fairly inexperienced with using the internet, and I have been receiving her replies, just one so far, and sending those to her myself. Is there was an email address that could be used in the same way as posting a comment? If not, that's ok.

Again, I really appreciate you taking time to answer her question. I think she liked that a lot.

Have a blessed day!

Steve,

Ephesians! I think of superlatives like Eph 3:20-21 Now unto him that is able to do EXCEEDING, ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Here, the opening verses 3-14 enumerate spiritual blessings IN CHRIST.

Verse 6 has this phrase, "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted IN THE BELOVED."

It ties into vss 12 & 14 "the praise of His glory."

This is all about the richness and vastness of God's marvelous Grace. Grace that He has bestowed on unworthy sinners. Think of it: He does NOT give us what we rightly deserve AND He freely gives us what we in no way deserve. He did not do that for the angels that sinned. This is Grace that glorifies God, a God that keeps the promises He has made over the millennia. Later Paul explains the mystery (used 6 times) that is now revealed to the principalities and powers through the church! Eph 3:9-10.

There's a song that my mother sang many decades ago that ends with these lines:

Holy. Holy. Is what the angels sing

And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring

But when I sing redemption's story, angels fold their wings,

For angel never felt the joy that my salvation brings.

Hope this helps.

I believe the word is alive in all of us and the word is written in our hearts and minds so we dont need to preach just read his book and pray for the holy spirit to open our eyes. To give Christ complete control and meerly be a vessel a mouthpiece. Lambs are lions and Christ is coming in a flame of fire hes not here to forgive to just grab a few believers before its over this is the third wave and they still dont believe. I pray for seniors whos children are like vultures I pray for mothers to escape from the beast and clutches of man. I pray that there be virgin brides for christ male and female

I believe that the Lord has given everyone of his children spiritual gifts some prophesy not all. Gifts of healing goodness so many gifts. The most important thing Jesus gave us is Love and peace. Helping not judging your neighbor holding your tongue and being quiet so the word of God is revealed. For the first time when I read the word of God it is alive and speaks to me. It is a living breathing word and family is at the centre. We need to role model kindness love and make gardens laugh enjoy our children teach them practical things. Stop worrying fearing for our children and the world and enjoy heaven on earth it is a blessing. Stop telling kids no and ask them what they think. Stop getting children to compete to be the best. Get them to live as a team as we should. Love peace non judgement and acceptance forgiveness. Hebrews is run by faith trust one another dont believe satans lies. Pray for Canada our government our first people pray that reparation will be accomplished so there can be healing. The government stole theyre land and their children to feed the catholic church who raped children and made quebec rich where there is a huge pedophile ring and children are taken because they cant speak french children are blinded and sold into sex trafficking pray for the children . The beatudes and Corinthians and revelations is almost fulfilled We must close are borders and return prayer and values to school. Time for children to destress in classrooms to meditate and pray or draw or think take the pressure off our children. I pray that ADHD will be seen as a label used by teachers drs etc to distribute amphetamines and get kids hooked on speed. I pray for all pregnant mothers that they deliver healthy babies news flash my mom smoked when i was pregnant and drank alcohol and smoked weed and I am fine Stop judging look in the mirror Christ loved Mary Magdalene. Christ loved a murderer and a thief. Stop profitting off of others misery and laughing

Hi Donna. Debra was a judge in Israel. The church was not called out. There is no mention of the Lady elect in 2 John being a preacher.

And the 2 woman at the tomb, The church still haven't started and that was not preaching,

1 Timothy 2:12. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. The church is a gathering, a people called out. I think the emphasis here is when gathered ""men and women"" she is to be silent, meaning not to give input to teach. However I believe she can teach other or younger women.

Titus 2:3-5. The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

1 Corinthians 14:34-36. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? And please don't take that as a sign of disrespect. I do know a woman in a marriage is supposed to model the bride of Christ. Maybe someone can elaborate on it a bit more. Thank you

What is the glory of Gods Grace??????

Thank you brother Ezekiel. The Holy Bible is really what I am now more interested in, and have a passion for, more than anything. As I was into many other things but after I was led to the Lord it has encompassed my life. I enjoy hearing that I sound like a "Bible student". Only reading the Bible for just under two years. You lead me to do a count of things in my Bible: having over 65 book markers for pages and over 500 marks for my favorite verses throughout. I am just a beginner.

Thank you very much for your kind replies brother.

Jesus is the right hand of God the Father .. All things were created by him and for him . He is the way the truth and the life. no man cometh to the Father but by him.

God the father and Jesus are one in regards to purpose , thought , Motive, out come, and yet he is the expressed

image of his Father.. The name Jesus means (God is saving) through Christ we are given Faith and the Grace to back it up.

repent and be baptized in the Name of Jesus , and then pray that you might recieve the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

What state do you live in Donna? I'm glad I could help! If you have any more questions about the Bible or anything else, please comment on here, and I will answer any questions of yours!

Blessings,

Sarah Chessiy

HI Michael. Lets pick up from verse 10. Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verse 11. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, we speak what we do know, and testify that what we have seen; and you receive not our witness. Verse 12: If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? Did you notice in verse 10 Jesus states: " Art thou a master in Israel and knowest not these things? " ( Jesus miracles, his conduct, and his mission was consistent with the old testament scripture.)

John the baptist elaborates on it as well in the same chapter verses 31-33.

He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. Now it's Jesus who speak what he has seen and heard, Those who receive through the power of the Holyspirit testify of this truth. John 16:12-13. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 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. John 4:23. Here Jesus is answering the woman of Samaria giving a lesson on its not where you worship its on how to worship, ""Through the power of the holyspirit"" John 16:14-15. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Maybe someone can elaborate on it further.

Thank you for letting me know. I am a little aggressive but only because I truly believe we need to understand the sin that began in Eden and has spread to the entire world. We need to put an end to that sin if we want the violence to end.

Barbara, the Spirit is gracing you with HIS wisdom and His Understanding. What the Spirit is revealing to you about the armies described in Revelation 19:14 is correct, we are those armies. The armies described in Revelation are much different than the armies we know which are made up of men in their natural state.

1 Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that WAS NOT FIRST which is spiritual, but that which is NATURAL; and afterwards that which is SPIRITUAL.

1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown (at natural birth) a NATURAL body; it is raised (at Christ resurrection) a SPIRITUAL body (we are delivered into this body the moment we depart our natural body). There is a NATURAL body, and there is a SPIRITUAL body.

John 16:21 A woman (the church) when she is in travail hath sorrows (suffers in the flesh), because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she rememberth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

There are many, many symbols that describe the called out: the elect, the saints, the anointed ones, the church, the temple, the house of God, the trees, the books, the rivers, the streams, the mountains, the house of Israel, the house of Jacob, the chosen, the called, the faithful, the horses, the chariots and many more. When the Spirit causes you to understand the symbols it becomes easier for the Spirit to reveal His truths.

Isaiah 9:5 For every (natural) battle of the (natural) warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this (spiritual battle) shall be with (spiritual) BURNING and FUEL of (spiritual) FIRE.

Isaiah 9:19 and the PEOPLE shall be the FUEL of the FIRE

Isaiah 4:3-6 (vs 4)When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion (another symbol of the called out) and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem (another symbol of the called out) from the midst thereof by the SPIRIT OF JUDGEMENT and by the SPIRIT OF BURNING.

This is what the armies (the ones gone before us) are doing.

Sacha, you apparently didn't get your reply in the right place to be able to View Thread. It looks like a brand new comment.

Just FYI.

The scripture simply states that every one born after the similitude of Adam is subject to the same disobedience, And in like manner everyone that is truly born again of the water and the spirit is given the Grace to take part in the obedience of Christ. How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation.

No doubt Romans is life changing , and yet understanding the power which enables us to uphold the passages is most important... Charity, without it we have nothing.

What is Charity,, its the love of God manifested in our mortal bodies just like it was in Jesus , its the willingness to lay aside every thing for the sake of the Gospel and Jesus , Every thing we have acquired from above must be given back , it must be laid before the alter with thanksgiving ( ITS ALL ABOUT HIM )

Is good to be good in the word of God

Thank you for that information; I would have liked to know more about the first Bible you mentioned, with the missing first page, & done some research on it. I can agree with the other reference you gave from the other Bible (i.e. Genesis 6:5 with Romans 1:28-31), even though I don't have that particular cross reference in my Bible. But to connect Jeremiah 2:23 to Genesis 3:12.13 is mystifying to me.

Anyway, I tried to do a Cross-Reference search via Open Bible & I did find these two references, along with many others, that were cross referenced to Genesis 3:12,13. Maybe you could go back to that old Bible you used to find this reference & see where the cross reference is applied, as where the a, b, c, etc are placed are important.

Apparently, in Genesis 3:13, the phrase "What is this that thou hast done?" is the connection to Jeremiah 2:23, "know what thou hast done". So the cross reference has nothing to do with dromedaries, but only a connection to "thou hast done". Any other connection would seem totally unreasonable, whether in context or in English usage. So, I won't pursue further your application of the dromedary to how God looks at us sinners; or even the use of other animals (fish, gnats, creeping things, etc.) for the same reason. Maybe, it might be interesting to check out your other cross references, particularly associating the various types of fornication to being the cause of other sins. As you know, I understand that fornication is just another sin along with every other sin.

Greetings, Cecil,

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Mat 24:36

"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."Mar 13:32

We know that Jesus is God in the flesh, The Second Person of The Trinity. Jesus was fully human and fully divine. Yet he hid parts of His deity, in order to live as a man. He chose to not know. Rather He humbled Himself and became obedience unto death, even the death on the cross.

Hope this helps.

Brother Richard, you can download the Daily Light devotion free very easily. Let me know if you encounter a problem. I have it in both PDF or plain text file in my PC. Again it has no copy right, just like our beloved KJV Bible, Alleluia! Not sure how deeply you are involved with Bible study but you sound like a Bible student. Thanks

Greetings, Wayne,

"And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people." Act 12:4

The King James scholars translated the Greek word, pascha, as Easter in this one instance and Passover in 28 other places in the New Testament.

Whether this is a mistranslation or not I know not. It makes not a bit of difference in this context. The meaning is exactly identical using either word. I would not loose any sleep over it.

Matthew Chapter 24 and Mark 13, explains this very well.

Matthew 24:1-51 and Mark 13:4-37

Matthew 24:38-41 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Mark 13:6 "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."

Mark 13:32 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."

Looks like God hated Esau because sold his birthright. Hebrews 12:15-17 "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears."

John Chapter three is just an overview; First Corinthians chapter fifteen verse three and four is the Gospel to the Gentiles during the age of grace, and if you believe it you are born again into God's family.

I'm glad he's doing better! I'll continue to pray for your family. I will also pray for your neighbors salvation. Continue to update me please.
