  • Richard in Christ on Deuteronomy 18 - 5 years ago
    There are many, many, parallels in the book of Enoch to the Holy Bible.

    In "The Book of Parables" from Enoch it elaborates on the Son of Man, The Chosen One, or Messiah(I believe Jesus Christ) to be with, or in the presence of, The Most High, Lord of Spirits, or Ancient "Head" of Days(I believe God Almighty).

    And at that hour that Son of Man was named, in the presence of the Lord of Spirits, and His name brought to the Head of Days.



    Even before the sun and the constellations were created, before the stars of Heaven were made, His name was named in front of the Lord of Spirits.

    He will be a staff to the righteous and the Holy, so that they may lean on Him and not fall, and He will be the Light of the Nations, and He will be the hope of those who grieve in their hearts.



    All those who dwell upon the dry ground will fall down and worship in front of Him, and they will bless, and praise the name of the Lord of Spirits.

    And because of this He was chosen, and hidden in front of Him, before the World was created, and forever.

    For the Chosen One stands in front of the Lord of Spirits. As His Glory is for ever and ever, and His Power for all generations.

    You powerful kings who dwell upon the dry ground will be obliged to watch my Chosen One sit down on the throne of My Glory, and judge, in the Name of the Lord of Spirits

    And in Him dwell the Spirit of wisdom, and the Spirit of understanding, and the Spirit of knowledge and power, and the Spirit of righteousness.

    And He will judge the things that are secret, and no one will be able to say an idle word in front of Him, for He has been chosen in front of the Lord of Spirits, in accordance with His wish.

    For He is powerful in all the secrets of righteousness and iniquity will pass away like a shadow, and will have no existence; for the Chosen One stands in front of the Lord of Spirits and His Glory is for ever and ever, and His Power for all generations.

    If God and Jesus are the same who is this?

    Dear Rick, it sounded like you were trying to discredit the Bible in your earlier comment about "there are a number of places where things were added or subtracted to fit what they thought it mean't."

    You were then asked to prove it, and you only said the original scrolls didn't have some punctuation. In other words, it sounds like you agree the KJV is a translation. Translations are called translations because no 2 languages are a perfect match. But if someone is trying to discredit the Bible by saying its translated then I will call out that logical fallacy.

    To illustrate this, let's say someone said 'quiero' in Spanish and you translated it into 'I want' in English. Let's say someone then learns that the translation had the "I" 'added' to it so he calls you a liar and tells everyone to not believe you. Would that be a false assumption? Yes, it would. You mentioned punctuation. Does punctuation change the meaning or does it simply preserve the accuracy of the translation? Hebrew is read right to left. So, someone could also use a similar logical fallacy to say that the Bible has radically been 'changed' and 'altered' and can't be 'trusted' because it was translated to be read completely backwards as the original. Again, it was made accurate in English. Extremely accurate. Word for word direct translation to the most precise degree. Italicized words make the sentence complete in English and is a necessary part of the translation. In my earlier example of "I want" the I would be italicized if it were KJV, because it was a necessary part to make the sentence complete. It's not that some random guy just wanted to add random words for selfish reasons. So, if you didn't intend to attempt to discredit the Bible with this that's fine, but if you're telling others to not trust the Bible because it was translated, that would be very wrong.

    God will make a way. He is merciful, and can do all things, we think impossible. My words , my faith like all believers will convince those who do not believe , of his salvation. This is why you and I must proclaim the name of Jesus! This is the reason we believe in Him. We are not saved by the letter of the law. We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ. Just believe on his name!
  • Eliot on 1 Timothy 4:14 - 5 years ago
    It is proven in your Bible that the only way to receive the holy spirit is from a true minister in God's true church,( the church Jesus started), with submersion and the laying on of hands.

    This will be a very in-depth search of the bible and many refuse to put forth the effort.

    There is some literature on the subject to direct you to the Bible verses . Mind you it's not mans interpretation. Its in your Bible.

    For so many thinking they have the Holy Spirit

    See in revaluation where it said the whole world is deceived. Satin is the god of this world as stated in the Bible. He is fighting every word in the Bible and every attempt to adhere to it in the government today. God bless all.
  • Barry Sartin on Matthew 24:15 - 5 years ago
    Food for thought. In Genius Babel was the separating of nations and languages. Through current technology this separation is being restored through translation programs, international financial systems and currency. With that being said humans and principalities are in the process of restoring Babel (humanism). Man can solve all is own problems by the power of his own hand. I believe the beast is AI, whoever controls worldwide computer technology and those who prosper by it will be controlling communication, commerce, criminal prosecution. For the first time in my life I see ancient prophecy being fulfilled before my eyes. The evil events which are occurring are in fact a testament to the factual truth annotated in KJ Bible. I do not know if the Catholic Church or the US is the great whore however either one seems qualified based on their current state as opposed to their founding. In summary we as Christians need to Trust God in the storm, Expect and prepare for persecution, God is harvesting His children and He deserves the very best. Count it a privilege to have the opportunity to show Him your Faith, Loyalty and Trust because He deserves the very best
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Deuteronomy 18 - 5 years ago
    If you choose too believe that the translations of Gods Word are completely accurate and as God gave it when holy men of God spake, know this that in the original writings their were no periods no chapter headings, no commas, and the italicesed words were not in original text. Thats why they were called scrolls. Now when you get into that kind of research also the bible is an eastern book which has a lot of eastern thought to be understood, I am in no sense challenging what someone else believes or has been taught, that being said if Gods word which is perfect as originally given its really neat to see it fit and work. Gods Peace be with you
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on John 9 - 5 years ago
    So when he was asked when he's coming back and his response was no one knows excepted the father he was wrong? One more question and not too argue did God raise himself from the dead or did Jesus christ raise himself from the dead my Bible said that God raised him from the dead and by the way I don't believe they are one in the same being or entity because that defies all natural laws set yup by God, Also the belief in the Trinity did not develope untill after the takeover of constantinople better known as the nicene creed look it up historically. I don't believe things just because anyone says thats the way it is I research origins then make up my mind. I do understand something at one time I was taught things that made no sence then when I researched on my own then I made up my mind, thats anybodies choice not saying everybody else is wrong or right.
  • Eliot on 2 Thessalonians 1:6 - 5 years ago
    Someone was really sick. And had no money or insurance. I thought it was pneumonia. So I sold my diving tanks along with all the equipment to dive , everything. I sold it really cheep to obtain money quickly. Well , the person never paid me and after repeated times knocking on his door with no answer I gave up. The person who needed medical help pulled through with God's help. But I wonder how the dive trip ended out for him. I wanted revenge at first but backed away and moved on. That happened 40 years ago while traveling in San Bernardino California.

    I had some idea about our God and Jesus Christ but didn't really understand much of the Bible until lately and the Commentary on 1 Thessalonians 1-6 brought this all back to mind. So now instead of revenge I prayed for him not knowing if he was alive or dead.
  • Ricky D Mentzer - In Reply on Deuteronomy 18 - 5 years ago
    So Chris not defending myself but you know that the kjv. Is a translation that came out from the Greek Hebrew and Aramaic and They were 66 writers involved and even that the original scrolls had no capital letters chapter headings or commas periods none of that. That being said and trust me this in no is diminishing the absolute divine Authority of the Greatness of God's Perfect Word it enhances it to a phenomenal degree. If you would like an example I'd be glad to give you one. Just lighten up is all I ask
  • Ricky D Mentzer - In Reply on Philippians 2 - 5 years ago
    Since scripture can't contradict itself and as originally Given doesn't. God's Word says God is light and in Him is no darkness at all therefore the true God did not create the devil he became evil when walking away from God who is Light. Now that being said in the old testament because of the written law many things that occurred supernatural was written down that God did it when in reality God being as we know all mighty allowed the enemy to work to accomplish what he eventually had planned, to me that's the incredible wisdom and power of God. When man decides to disobey or disbelieve God's word God cannot do anything because he does not manipulate or play with freedom of will. On the other hand you give God an inch he'll hand you a mile if the inch is according to it is written. There are only two spiritual powers were dealing with The God and Father of Jesus Christ or the adversary of all mankind the devil. Something to think about the term devil to the best of my knowledge was not used until the new testament theirs a reason for everything God wrote when where how why and to whom, and it's important to understand that also there is eastern thought in God's word that if it's not understood doesn't make any sense to the western mind I believe you and I are mostly on the same page bro.

    Please direct me.

  • Adam - In Reply on Deuteronomy 18 - 5 years ago
    Hi Rick, I'm politely calling you out on the following false statement you wrote: "there are a number of places where things were added or subtracted to fit what they thought it mean't". People can say all kinds of things for various motives. Obviously when you come to a Bible website and try to discredit the Bible with no proof it seems a bit shady. So, where's your proof- go ahead and lay it out. All of it. I already know in advance whatever you bring forth will be false assumptions and misunderstandings about the Bible, as there are many I've heard before, but I still want to be open to what you consider to be true. And through doing so, all I ask is that you likewise be open to a response and a different point of view. Then you can think it through, pray about it, and come to a conclusion on what you think is the truth. Fair enough?

  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Revelation 16:17 - 5 years ago
    It can be anything that apposes itself against the true God, I know a lot of Beleivers who use the internet to teach so not everything about it is evil.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on John 3:4 - 5 years ago
    To Fred and Joanne we will never stop private interpretation 2 Peter 1:20+21 because people choose to believe what they have been taught right or wrong or what they think it means, they aren't shown the bible is an eastern book and has eastern culture and thought in it or as long as it agrees with them their fine. All these things are an uphill battle that the apostle Paul new well most of his followers got to the point where they no longer believed he was a man called of God and walked away.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Deuteronomy 18 - 5 years ago
    Chris its rick don't begin to think that everything in the kjv or any other translation was in the original text there are a number of places where things were added or subtracted to fit what they thought it mean't
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply on Deuteronomy 18 - 5 years ago
    Chris I don't get into the discussion of the trinity because there are too many ideas and opinions as to what it is and how it works.
  • Andrew - In Reply on John 9 - 5 years ago
    To say that not even Jesus knows is dangerous, after all He and His Father are One, and Jesus is the one descending on that day. That being said the "knoweth" in Matthew 24:36 as well "know" in 1 Corinthians 2:2 are the same Greek word and can mean to "make known" depending on the context. So given the context of both passages. Jesus is saying that no one will declare or "make known" that that day or hour except his father. Just like Paul is saying he didn't come to teach or "make known" anything other that Christ crucified. Paul also says in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 Says that we "Christians" are children of light and that, that day should not overtake us unawares. God has provided us many examples or signs that we can look out for that we can be ready for his coming. Matthew 24, all of Revelations, Daniel chapters 2,7,8 11, and 12, as well as some chapters in Ezekiel, Isiah, and Jeremiah. Just like Christs' baptism, and crucifixion was accurately predicted in Daniel chapter 9:23-27

    Here is what I see is going to happen. This vaccine for Covid 19 has nano particles in it, is to get your body use to the chip (so your body will not refuse the chip) that is in the vaccine. They say the chip is to let them know that you have already had the first shot. But here is the thing, the people that refuse the vaccine will be flagged and the government will issue that it is mandatory that you receive this vaccine. If you still refuse to take this vaccine then the military will come in and take you to a concentration camp (as for Biden)
  • Mild Bill - In Reply on Psalms 23:3 - 5 years ago
    Mike, "death is unreal" - Death is very real, in fact, there is a second death. Revelation 20:14 The first death is separation from the body/Earth, and the second is eternal separation from God and to the eternal torment. "The wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23 Very real, and nobody else in the scriptures had more to say about hell and damnation than Jesus.
  • Fred andJoann Scanlan on John 3:4 - 5 years ago
    According to the church. All things that come out of it! There are way, way, too many interpretations. Since we live in a free nation we will be subject unto these . However ,Prior to the fall of Rome, mediately before and after, the word became the truest and most convincing. The Holy Spirit will always do the the work , we are remiss too do! God is merciful, and will finish the work that needs to be done! His ways are past understanding. Pray, I say Pray, that His will be done! We have a beautiful new church whos doors are closed? When can I see IT!
  • Mild Bill - In Reply on Deuteronomy 18 - 5 years ago
    William, "the whole armor of God without going through the whole Bible" Whole, means just that, the whole word of God. Wouldn't you be unprepared if what you needed was what you overlooked? Armor requires maintenance, whether cleaning mud from the feet, adjusting the grips of the shield or chin strap of the helmet, or sharpening the sword. The prepared soldiers are those seeing to the details of their gear, and in doing so, develop a confidence in the effectiveness of that gear. The battle will come to you, what's your hurry,or, are you already being thrashed? I will pray for you, that is, as shoulder to shoulder on the battle front.
  • Anonymous - In Reply on 1 Peter 5 - 5 years ago
    You're not doing anything wrong. If you believe Jesus was the son of God and have sincerely asked God to forgive your sins you have already been born again. If you're interested in understanding the Bible better, I recommend looking into Shepherd's Chapel Bible study videos. They explain the Bible in detail verse by verse with context and cross-reference to other relevant verses.
  • Fred Scanlan on John 3:4 - 5 years ago
    There will be harmony! This is why we have the old testament! The same spirit of forgiveness found in the blood of Christ. The hope found in the promises to Abraham, to Isaac, Jacob, Are and will be the same hopes that will live in the heart and soul of GODS people! Heaven and earth ,what else would you say about it!
  • Anonymous - In Reply on Exodus 20:12 - 5 years ago
    If you're truly sorry, God has already forgiven you. But it's also important to forgive yourself. If you were already saved years ago there's no need to be saved a second time; that's what Jesus died on the cross for.
  • Alex on Jeremiah 5:1 - 5 years ago
    Addressed to Steven, you are not understanding what Replacement Theology really is as the whole of the bible is about replacement theology , The 2 nd Adam replaces the 1st Adam . The stain and the spot of 1 st Adam is REPLACED by the blood of the lamb that taketh away the sins of the world WHICH IS REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY . As God told Abraham cast out the bond woman and her son for the bond woman shall shall NOT be heir with the FREE WOMAN and her Son which is Replacement Theology. Old Jerusalem is replaced by New Jerusalem. King David replaced King Saul.. Remember PAUL replaced Saul. When God told Israel that he wd give them a New Covenant replacing the Old covenant not according to the old covenant. That was replacement theology . As a NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT IS ALSO REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY. And i cd go on and on Steven eyes you have but you see not . Mankind needs a new replacement which is the H.G. OUR NEW INNERMAN, IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST JESUS HE IS A NEW CREATURE. This is the Godly definition of replacement theology. And the levitical Priesthood is replaced by the Melchisidec Priesthood, its all over the bible. ya wd have to be blind not to see it . But the bible schools cd neva see it.
