My brother Steven,

Hopefully you know I have not the answer to your question nor do I believe anyone else does. Saying how they go to heaven if by the blood of Christ? Well animals don't have sin, as humans do, so I believe they are on a different scale than us. Of coarse this is just my opinion. I agree our concern should most definitely be for other souls of people rather than bugs.

Still, I believe animals are a beautiful creation of our Father and carry His finger print. Seeing butterflies, dogs, birds flying and singing would be beautiful in Heaven. To me. But as said I guess there is only one way to find out the truth. It is all up to God.

Revelation 5:13 - And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

As this verse states every "creature" which is in Heaven. Could it merely mean just Angels with humans? Or animals also? God knows and one day we will too my brother.

God Bless.

I had. Man wonderful people in my life. I SPENT many years helping others growing in christ serving christ. I starting at a elementery age reading and stufying the bible.Then at 17 through current i have went through trinulations that scare me to thr core. Forgiveness was the big wall for me I am currently reafy to forgive my coworkers for the evil attacks and robberies _the multiple ifentity thefts-the lies and evidence set ups that almost landed me in prison yes while i was working going to school. Raising my children step children etc someone identity thefted me and my name was in crime and my coworkers said it was me. And the cops came for me can you believe that__ the attack with a tazer gun the attempted poisoming _ i currently found some peace in the lord by letting him hamdle it i womt visit it i am back to finding gods love and he is protecti ng me now that i dont go to work ___

the best explanation of this verse is... " An African woman is ploughing and sowing a field with her baby on her back. The baby is crying from hunger, and she is crying while listening to her baby cry. She could alleviate the intense hunger right now, if she would only grind the seed she is planting into flour and make bread... but where would the harvest be...

How many children did Joseph and Mary have together?

Hi Willoughby, I think I left out one of the most important words in my comment, That is Mercy. Thanks

i love listening to the blble

Hi Richard, My question is if animals go to heaven, how many? all? pigs and rats too? reptiles and insects too? people have them as pets as well. How do they get to heaven by the blood of Christ? I know that sounds silly but it's a thought because it seems most people will fall short, I think our concern should be for those who are lost, not mosquitoes and knats. smiles.

I am curious about Golgatha which called Place of a skull. I am wondering about eating bones?

Thank you dear Richard for your thoughts on this. Indeed, there are some things that we may never know on this side of Heaven so being dogmatic over such issues would be unwarranted. I think it really comes down to one's understanding of a whole range of materiel before us & how we bring it together to make sense.

With the Book of Revelation, it is the one Book that is filled with imagery & symbolism, so I can see how some things may be taken literally or symbolically, whether justifiably or not. With the matter of the horses, or the beast rising from the sea, or even the sword coming out from the Saviour's mouth, my understanding is that these are all imagery given to John to depict future events that were kept obscure to him to some extent.

Anyway, we will just have to agree to disagree on this matter along with the shape of the Earth belief, & base our acceptance of & love for each other on things that are more precious & abiding. Every blessing Richard.

This for Mario Sanchez:

Thanks for your testimony. I wish all my friends who have been diagnosed with cancer and other illness could hear your testimony. This is the time for us to Let God Be Magnified and I pray God give you the platform to reach millions. I have lost many friends who were diagnosed after mammograms. They were doing just fine and then you turn around and they are gone. God made us and he certainly can cure us. Yes God is real and watching every move mankind is making. I also want to share this with ou. Every morning I would Praise God for a new day by beating on an old steel cooking vessel. Well I did this for a couple of years and then one morning as I was beating my familiar chant , there was extra music, almost a whistling song coming from this thing. I was like Woah, really? I kept on beating and the extra music kept on going til I stopped. To this day I give God the Glory there is no other explanation. After that I was actually afraid to do it again it was so powerful.

If you will read second Timothy I think it may give you some answers, don't know exactly what you are asking Women can be prophets and teachers, we as one in the body of Christ can tell about Jesus, teach about Jesus

I know that this is of evil like adultry, fornication and uncleanliness what is the meaning of the word lasciviousness mean exactly

Can you please explain Zion vs Babylon? I believe knowing the difference will be even more imperative in the coming days, if not now. Thank you

Hi Willoughby, Prayer, It works "but God wants your own" not a loaner. And walking together in Gods will. I think God gives us marriage to communicate to us Christ love for the church, the love and relationship between a husband and wife should model Christ relationship to the church. Ephesians 5:22-32 (KJV) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. We have to incorporate the fruit of the Spirit love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. and forgiveness and humility. I hope that helps, thanks.

Great is our God. Thanks for making this platform available.....cheers

Dear God, thank you that this the day that the Lord has made. Thank you for my life and my wife's life.

I ask that You would protect us from the schemes of the devil to distract and frustrate and tempt us to sin against each other.

I pray that all ancestral and familiar spirits be bound in the Name of Jesus and cast into outer darkness to stay there and never return!

Holy Spirit help us to resist the blame and accusations of satan and flee temptation.

In moments of weakness, please help us to give grace (unearned favor), and forgiveness to each other. Help us to support each other and keep each other accountable on a daily basis. I receive Your strength to repent and run from it.

In the Name of Jesus, I reject the spirit of Jezebel (in the Bible) and cut all ties to bondages. It is written: Resist the Devil and he must flee. The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy this marriage.

Help us be quick to forgive and lift each other up in Your strength so that we may enjoy Your perfect will for our marriage and our life together. Holy Spirit enable us to put Jesus first in our marriage and our lives, every day.

Thank you, Heavenly Father, in the Name and Power of Your Son, Jesus. Amen

Hi John.. Galatians 3:28 (KJV) 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.

My good brother Chris,

As you know we can all have different views on things of the Eternal realm or Heaven. My belief is there are animals in Heaven but of coarse the only ones who know for sure are not here, in earth, anymore.

One verse from the Bible that may point to this is Revelation 19:11. When our Lord comes down from Heaven riding on a white horse.

Of coarse not to dispute anything with you my brother. Just thought I would note that verse.

God Bless you Chris.

what does the Bible says about Women in the Church?

I love the hymn,

"SIX DAYS OF LABOR NOW ARE PAST"

"God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good." Genesis 1:31

Six days of labor now are past;

Thou restest, Holy God;

And of Thy finished work has said,

That all is very good.

Charles Coffin 1736

Thank for the commentary on 2:Tim.3:16, it was a blessing on a subject of female minister's for God is in control regardless of what we may think or do.

Bahss,

The principle to remember is that " A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." Galatians 5:9 How much error/leaven must you know, to know truth? None. While God exposes the leaven as opposition to himself, he always exhorts us to reject it at the slightest appearance.

"After all, they are inspired by God to some extent too right?" Your assumption is not "after all", but inspite of all known revelation. That is, clearly God has spoken to the world through his revelation of himself in the middle east. To want something other/more is to slight the importance he "has" revealed.

American Treasury agents are given genuine currency to study carefully, and thereby, they have the ability to better detect counterfit currency.

Hi Charls, I would like to give you My thoughts on You and your personal relationship with the Lord, I believe the LORD would like you to open up to him with confidence like you open up to us on this site, you don't have to use any of the prayers in the scripture, King David used his own prayers, he didn't use Abrahams or Noahs, or anybodys, A lot of these prayers in scriptures is to give us a picture of the relationship and how God deals with those who come to him on a personal level. but first we must know we need a savior pray to him for salvation, and present yourself a living sacrifice, get in his word and let him guide you. Thanks

Mental illness and addiction

Dianne,

The honor and respect deserved, is conditional upon those leaders meeting the qualifications of "For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil." Too many leaders, regardless of whether in the church or government, embrace evil. And while the office they hold by the power of men deserves respect, all respect deserved and power over believers is dependent on what their character shows us. God defines for us those he has empowered to rule our affairs. Believers are not to yield to evil, but instead, resist even unto death of the body.

Chris, " What sort of Pastor must he be as described in verse 4?" I believe the position could be either a believer or an unbeliever, in the latter case, a hireling. "The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Proverbs 21:1

Would like to know the lib verses about the tribulations?

Robert Malit, "12 DISCIPLES OF JESUS DIDN'T KNOW HIM. WHY?"

Depth of understanding and recognition is a quality that matures in time. We do not know everything about God, but in eternity a continuing revelation will occur, and even then, there is always more about God, because he is God our Creator, and not another creature of limited magnitude. Even you have a question, because you lack understanding, get it?

Chris, I really appreciate your quick reply to my confusion. I didn't expect to get a reply. I was multitasking on steroids most of yesterday and running errands. I couldn't find the definition of taches. Thank you again and have a blessed day.

Marriage problem how to fix it

To Charls,

through the leading prayers of our Beloved Evangelist Pastor Wilde E. Almeda, if it's your will our Lord Jesus "REVIVE OUR DEAD BRETHREN NOW, SHOW US YOUR WILL" then laid his hands on each of us, "while praying IN JESUS' NAME, CAST OUT THE EVIL SPIRIT OF DEATH IN JESUS' NAME!"

Through the leading prayers of our Beloved Evangelist Pastor Wilde E. Almeda, our LORD JESUS instantly revived all three dead including myself.

BY FAITH, DEAD CHILD BECAME ALIVE AGAIN

We have a Bible Study in our local Muslim community, where our Beloved Preacher Robert Chua shouted loudly, preached that for those who believe in Jesus, even the dead shall rise again. Closed by was the beach where lots of kids played and swam. One child went missing, drowned, after an hour child's dead body was recovered.

My uncle searched for my mother, and said, "where are all the Hallelujahs, they said even the dead shall become alive again, now show us." My mother became afraid, she went into her room and prayed, "our Lord Jesus, you helped and protected our Beloved Pastor from the Abu Sayaf, freed the hostages in Talipao, now Lord Jesus, show our uncle that you our Lord Jesus is our God and has power over all including death."

Thereafter, my mother asked for the dead kid, and said, "our Beloved God, Lord and Savior Jesus, you protected our Beloved Pastor from death in the hands of the Abu Sayaf, now Lord, the God of both Muslims and Christians, on this day let this child live". And the child came alive again.
