Todd,

Addition to or slander of God's word has happened since Eden. We only hear from Eve, that Adam and she were not to "touch" the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And Satan suggested that God lied about them dying. I have no doubt that the Holy Spirit moved men to want to canonize(regard as being above reproach or of great significance) the so-called writings of God. God has done the work of preserving a faithful document of his-story, in the KJV. Much in the same way believers are to judge, who is and who is not a prophet of God. Even today, newer translations approach the task with predetermined bias and subtleness of changes, so as to slight the truth of God, not all, but some.

I am truly thankful the most faithful modern day rendition of God's word is in my native language, despite the archaic form, which I myself enjoy exploring for a deepening of my language knowledge.

When a person is saved of God, the Holy Spirit indewells them and leads them towards truth. God is always able to communicate with his children, and only his children look for him.

CALL FOR RAIN

After the bombing stopped, our Beloved Pastor fasted, told us to fast as well. He said there will be a miracle on the 3rd day. On that day, it was extremely hot, no water, all of us thirsty. All of a sudden, dark clouds started to gather over us, then a heavy down pour of rain, our loving God provided fresh rain water for us to drink, quenched our thirst.

GOD RIVIVED THE DEAD = TESTIMONY OF BEL. SISTER RUBY LYNE HERNASIO

In June 29, 1999, I was one of the victims of our Maluso Crusade bombing in Zamboanga City. Our venue is located adjacent to a Muslim Mosque. While we were singing praise songs, I heard a very loud explosion, thrown in our midst was an apple grenade spewed at least hundreds of shrapnel. On the spot 3 died, and 38 wounded brethren. One got hit in the eye through his head exposing his brain, who according to his testimony later his spirit left his body, went face to face with our Lord Jesus in heaven, said "Lord I want to stay here, where there is no problems, just complete happiness, on earth all sorts of problems, poverty and strife.

I could hear and see what was happening but couldn't move. Then one Preacher came to me, laid hands on my shoulder, prayed to our Lord Jesus and I regained my normal self instantly. It was then I run over to sister Ruby Lyne Hernasio, saw her eyeball out, aired swollen like an egg. Our Lord Jesus' voice in my head said "Hallelujah, Praise the Lord" and I followed his command, as I handled her eyeball pushing it back into her eye socket I was saying "Hallelujah, Praise the Lord". I didn't notice, that through our Lord Jesus help I successfully abled to push her eyeball back in place.



Thereafter, I collapsed, all the dead myself included were placed on the stage side by side. It was then one of our ordained Preacher prayed, raised his hands, asked "God for forgiveness for our sins, to forgive each of us of our sins, through the leading prayers of our Beloved Evangelist Pastor Wilde E.

TESTIMONY OF OUR BELOVED EVANGELIST & 12 PRAYER WARRIORS

Our Beloved & Honorable Evangelist Pastor Prophet Wilde Estrada Almeda has been anointed by God to lead JMCIM Talipao Peace Mission to free the 21 hostages in September 2000. I personally witnessed with my own eyes the great supernatural power of our Lord Jesus Christ, has proven to the whole world that we have a true Prophet in this ministry JMCIM.

I was told to take video recordings of our entire mission in Talipao, Zulu. As our Beloved Pastor was preaching the gospel to the Abu Sayaf in their Camp, they were extremely offended, in raging anger shouted for our Beloved Pastor to stop. Our Pastor won't stop.

So, they fired their weapons at our Beloved Pastor, their guns failed to fire. Amazingly puzzled, they aimed their guns up in the air, flawlessly fire. At that, they aimed and fire again at our Beloved Pastor, all there was clicking sound was heard, but failed to fire. One Abu Sayaf got his Machine Gun with bullets carried on his shoulder, dropped on prone position, aimed and fired at our Beloved Pastor, his gun failed to fire, repeated press on the trigger produced only clicking sounds. The awesome power of God rendered their weapons useless.

So, one Abu Sayaf pulled a large sharp beheading knife to kill one of us. Our Beloved Pastor came towards him and rebuked him, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, BE FROZEN!!! Instantly, he was frozen.

The following day, early in the morning, before the Cocks crow, the Abu Sayaf were firing their gun up in the air, suspected that we are Military men in disguise. One Abu Sayaf with .45 Caliber Pistol aimed at our Beloved Pastor and fired. I witnessed flames coming out of the gun's barrel, but when bullets hit I saw puffs of dust but none of the bullets penetrated the body of our Beloved Pastor.

To Charls,

In 2012, my daughter who was pregnant passed out, brought to the hospital. Upon examination, one artery in cervical area of her neck raptured which left her comatose. Furthermore, her unborn child died in her womb. My son-in-law requested that I must go to the hospital, my daughter was dead.

So, I knelt down on my knees, crying, pleading to God, to our Lord Jesus, to revive my daughter and baby so she could continue serving God. Early that morning, I arrived, my son-in-law told me that my daughter was uncontrollably upset. I thought to myself, Lord God my daughter is alive.

We were told my daughter must have emergency surgery to get the dead unborn child from her womb. We continue to pray, praised God, my faith is God's will be done. Shortly after getting in the operating room, one nurse came out, told us to get baby's clothing ready. I thought to myself, God the baby is alive. Today, here is my beloved daughter and her baby, my granddaughter is 5 years old now.

TESTIMONY OF AN ARMY PHYSICIAN

In September 2003, after God healed me I was at a Bible Study in Malinta, my barber called, "Sir, go home, your wife was dead on arrival in the hospital. I said, I don't believe this, our loving GOD in JMCIM is alive. I prayed, then left in peace without urgency. At 7pm upon my arrival at Fort Bonifacio Hospital, Dr. Silain said to me, "Are you crazy? All you can say is Hallelujah Praise the Lord. So, I told my fellow doctors at the hospital, since I joined JMCIM, I get to know my loving GOD is alive, my God will revive my wife. I told them my loving God in JMCIM will heal and revive my wife. They all laughed sarcastically at me in insulting gesture. So, I signed a waiver to take my wife home. Upon getting home, I prayed, sung songs of praises to our loving God. After a few songs, I noticed my wife's skin turned yellowish, then turned pink, then moved, then turned redden, woke up and spoke, asking for noodles to eat.

Hi Charls,

If you want God to heal you of many diseases, and your family, even the impossible to heal, visit my group in Facebook. Check out "What Does It Mean To Be A Born Again Christian?"

PAUL HEALED THE SICK

Acts 28:8 Context 8And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him. 9So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

YES, IT HAPPENED THEN, BUT COULD THIS HAPPEN TODAY 2021 BEYOND?

With the leading prayers of our Beloved Evangelist Pastor Wilde E. Almeda, the end-time prophet of God, these are just some of God's miracles in our church:

TESTIMONY OF A POLICE OFFICER

In 1993, I was diagnosed with Psoraisis that led to paralysis can't stand nor walk. I went to many different doctors but without success.

I met someone who told me our God heals all sorts of diseases - cancer, leprosy, etc. I thought I will try, go and see, I had nothing to lose. I got in Amoranto, Quezon City, where I got baptized, I was intantly healed of my paralysis, gradual healing of my psoriasis. I also had a legal problem, I got sued by a Colonel due to improperly saluting him. Our Beloved Pastor learned of my law suit, he told me to fast and pray for 10 days. So I did, on my 3rd day of fasting, I received news the Colonel got terminated from his position.

In 1996, one of the worker, while waiting for a bus, someone snatched his bag, when he opened the bag, found holy Bible, no money inside, he became extremely mad, with his .45 caliber pistol shot our brother in the chest, the impact pushed him backward fell about 3 feet, in seconds rose waving his hands loudly saying Hallelujah, Praise the Lord. Our Lord instantly healed him. The Holdaper fired at him the 2nd time, his gun failed to fire, got scared and run away.

OJB

And G-d saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was tov me'od (very good). And the erev and the boker were Yom Shishi (Day Six, the Sixth Day).

RSV

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

RSVCE

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

TLV

So God saw everything that He made, and behold it was very good. So there was evening and there was morning-the sixth day.

VOICE

Then God surveyed everything He had made, savoring its beauty and appreciating its goodness. Evening gave way to morning. That was day six. -- This one I like best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where in the king James does it list all the names in the lentage. It was like 2 or 3 pages of names

So we must keep in mind that our Lord Almighty is the only Commanding chief that's in full control of everything and have always been also who gives correct instructions to all who Trust in him and to call upon his name to obey and to do what we was called to do that it's not about us it's about bringing Glory to his name in all the work we do while still passing through in the mighty name of Jesus Amen

Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know

Is this not where our nation is now like these people?

Better stay there playing with JESUS

Steven,

WELL SAID: You put a smile on my face, may God continue to bless you

God's commandment: thou shalt not covet.

You want Naaman's stuff, you end up with the whole package. By extension your seed too.

Be content and wait for God. His blessings maketh rich and added no sorrow.

Why is God allowing slavery, enslavement to happen, now? My works have been to help to make a better earth and world, better people. why does God allow the "Trumpets" to steal my works, money gifted to me and racketeered through the banks to everyone but me? I am tired of working and not eating the grapes thereof whereby the criminals excel and get rich from my names? Nothing that I have done for 10 years have I been blessed monetarily; I may feel enriched intellectually, but not socially. I am not allowed to have friends or to visit with my family, who try to help only to enrich people who never give a cracker back, the ungrateful and arrogant of secret societies seem to reign and cause us to lose people, opportunities, money, gratitude, etc. Some have been told that all Africans and Afros in power have worshiped Satan; some have been forced to by extreme evil treatments and promises to be with family eventually. Is America, the United States gone to the dark occult? I wish not! People are put into grave yards, in storage facilities I hear, money is hidden in their corpses? Children are no more in the neighborhood, most gone. Instead of a way of life, a way and culture of death. 60k houses are vacant--where did all the families go? Dont come to Baltimore City to think you can just sit down and talk to someone; you may disappear too--into foreign slavery. Where is my younger brother? He use to own and developed a wonderful bakery, the Breadery. Where is he and his beautiful family? We have been persecuted because of our religion by takers who dont make life and liveliness, they just take and never donate. Where is the charity and opportunity for the holy if Satanists are in control with the illusion of making Amerika great, not Americans great?

Check out verse 13 ,Jesus is the lamb ,who was it that provided skins for Adam and Eve to wear after they had sinned ? Jesus is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world .

Thankyou, Cyrylkrot. I feel i felt strongly I was saved but because was deceived I am very conscious that I don't want to be deceived any more so it is good practice to make sure I'm saved thank you very much

Thank you Robert Malit, funny I just said to one of my daughter's the other day " I shall not want" but I didn't know which psalm it was, that is great thank you

Have you read the Book of Enoch? If so, have you not noticed some major errors within? I cite a few examples:

7:2: "the human women became pregnant & bare great giants whose height was 3000 ells". Even going by the smaller measurement of 18 inches, this makes the giants 4,500 ft tall.

19:2: "the women from the angels who went astray shall become sirens". What was a siren? A mythological creature that was half bird & half human.

10:8: "the whole earth has been corrupted through the works taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin". But sin came through Adam, & Azazel who is also referred to as Satan, according to 10:4-6, has been chained up until judgement day. The Bible says different that he is free to roam awaiting that final day of judgement & forever in the Lake of Fire.

10:20,21: Prior to the Flood, God told Michael the Archangel to "Cleanse the Earth from all godlessness...and all the children of men shall become righteous...and all the Earth shall be cleansed from defilement, from all sin, from all punishment...". Is an angel now the source of our salvation?

And the list of gross errors are still many. Even considering the authorship of the Book is questionable as is the date of writing. Do you really feel that such a book is worthy of study & inclusion alongside God's Word? Those who canonized the Scriptures we now have, have done well to apply the most stringent scrutiny to the books that comprise the Bible, ensuring that we have the most faithful & reliable Scriptures in our hands. If any serious study is conducted to any of these extra-biblical writings, one can see how far they have detoured from Truth even with the evidence of Truth within their pages. If such gross errors are found in isolation, what must be the condition of the whole.

12 DISCIPLES OF JESUS DIDN'T KNOW HIM. WHY?

John 14:9 Context 6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 8Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do;

So you understand Romans 13:1-7 to apply to the authority within the Church? It would be interesting to read other views on this. I've re-read the passage now & just can't fit our Church leaders into that narrative. What sort of Pastor must he be as described in verse 4?

A 'tache' is like a clasp. It was meant to 'clasp' the opposite loops of the curtains together & when applied to all the curtains of the Tabernacle, this formed the fabric boundary of the Tabernacle. We can remember that the Tabernacle had to be dismantled every time Israel packed up & went on their march to the Promised Land. So by using these clasps, the job of connecting up the curtains became much easier.

Thank you so much for that explanation. I can read the verse with a clearer undersanding

If writing to the U.S. is a problem then try first at the Bible Society Office in the Philippines (there are several: Manila, Cebu City, etc.) & state your need & interest to learn more about God & willingness to accept a second-hand Bible. You can get more information on their website: bible dot org dot ph There is also a Gideons office in your country.

In Isaiah 43:28, God is saying that the princes of the sanctuary (i.e. the priests who served God in the Tabernacle) who were considered special, set apart for God's service, would also suffer the same fate as the people (i.e. they would be profaned or treated with contempt rather than being honoured for their special position).

Another rendering of "given Jacob to the curse & Israel to reproaches", speaks of Jacob (Israel) given to destruction in their respective captivities to Babylon & Assyria & that in their captivities they would be scorned & held in contempt by the inhabitants of those lands. It was a very bleak outlook for Judah & Israel, but was a necessary punishment because of the many sins they committed & even at times, falling down to worship idols. They did suffer badly, but did they learn their lesson? Man has the eternal compulsion to follow after the world & not obey the God Who loves & cares for him.

Yes, the 1611 KJV was the original version as authorized by King James. So it's written with the old English spellings of the time (in the days of Geoffrey Chaucer & the Canterbury Tales era) & maybe some other slight grammatical changes. The KJV we have now is exactly the same as the 1611 version, but with the more modern spellings. But even this has now become little difficult for the 'younger set' to read. Then I would suggest the New King James Version or another related accurate rendering: the New American Standard.

If you want to try reading from the 1611 version, then click on More on the top Tab on this Site & scroll down to it.

You can read about Moses in the Book of Exodus. He was first a shepherd, but God had called him to be the one to lead His people (the Israelites) out of Egypt, who were in bondage/slaves to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Moses gave all sorts of excuses why he shouldn't be the one for the job, even that he was a 'stutterer' (one of slow speech/tongue) so couldn't express himself clearly to Pharaoh. So even here God appointed Moses' brother, Aaron, to do the speaking.

Anthony, this is an exciting Book to read, so will not write more & let you read about the mighty Hand of God at work on the behalf of His people. And the same God Who works mightily on our behalf, to those who call upon His Name.

You will get different views on this, whether pets (or, even animals in general) go to Heaven or not. There's no Scripture to support either view - it just comes down to an opinion based on one's understanding of God's creation & His Plan for all it. Also, one can be so enamoured with one's pet, that the thought is, 'surely God can't deny such a loving faithful animal a place in Heaven'. Maybe this is just wishful thinking.

If we looked at any Scripture which reveals the beings & activity in Heaven (then & now), all we see is God's Presence & the Heavenly Host which comprise the living beings around Him. And then in the Book of the Revelation we see more, as in the Elders & those saints robed in white. We never see animals (or, their souls) in Heaven, nor do we read about them as having any part in a resurrection, to which only humans who accountable to God, have.

And then we could try to understand the purpose of the creation of plants & animals. Again, views may be many on this, but I just see all these as God's Plan to beautify the Earth (for His Sake & ours) with the things & creatures that will enjoy life & point man's heart back to his Creator. Of course, both plants & animals serve as sacrifice & food for our existence as well. So, in short, my view is that animals are not in Heaven, only those who have been created for Heaven & those appointed to salvation & eternal life.

Bahss, what other 'books' are you thinking of referring to, to learn more of God? Have you read any of those books, such as the Quran, Bhagavad Gita, Tripitaka, Adi Granth, etc.? Or are you thinking of the Deuterocanonical Books (or the Apocrypha)?

Of the former group of books I mentioned, even though God is mentioned, also man's shortcomings, a means of salvation, & a future existence, I wonder what you would gain from them given that in each one of the doctrines mentioned, the view of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism & Sikhism is not only different from the Judeo-Christian teaching & understanding, but also in opposition to it. If you could first study those religions, how they were formed, their teachers/teaching, & the end of their faith, you might just at that point discover how far removed they are from biblical teaching.

In respect to the Apocrypha, again they were generally written in those silent years of the Bible & into the period after Christ. And these were not included in the Canon of Scripture because of their doubtful authorship, origins, declared 'truths' or even verses that are in opposition to accepted Writ. What we have in the Bible (NT) are from authors that are known & have been in direct contact with the Lord Jesus & given that bases, any other Scripture, whether from the Apocrypha or from other religions, must be approached cautiously or even totally rejected, lest our own understanding of God's Word is polluted with error. Not everyone has that ability to identify errors - he must know the Bible very well first. I do see value in the Apocrypha but one would never see me refer to them to support or exegete what is given to us in the Bible.

And yes, God did choose Israel to be the recipients of His Word & Law, to the exclusion of all other tribes & peoples in the world. What we have now is indeed God's Word & that Word was brought into the World in Jesus, Who then taught His disciples, who would teach others also, including us today.

I carry 71 years, and have loved this chapter since I read the Bible at the end of childhood, looking for answers to questions I could not even ask yet. Answers did not come from reading but from life, even as this chapter seems written from human experience. I have been through all the changes of pride it describes, and have observed what remains when pride is eroded.

I say it differently to myself. In verse 10, I substitute the word "complete" for the word "perfect", for it is complete reality that I have come to look for. In verse 12, I sometimes substitute "mirror" for the word "glass".

And at the end, I add my own thought,

"And the foe of charity is fear".

Man had long ago gotten away from the word of God is if the Bible is true why did they leave out the book of enoch and the dead sea scrolls and the forgotten books of Eden

Lovely inspiring words, adding to the richness of the Psalm. Thank you very much for sharing that, Steven.
