  • Chris - In Reply on 2 Chronicles 26 - 5 years ago
    We're glad that you're here too, Nathan. We all together have so much to learn from the Lord & His Word, & we are able to share with one another to teach or encourage each other in our precious holy faith. Pop by when you want to know something or have a word of encouragement for us. Blessings on you too.

    Eli seemed to have been a worthy priest in his day but found lacking in his fatherly duties & responsibilities. His feeble checking of his sons' misbehaviour didn't carry through to a stronger discipline or removal from their positions. Maybe Eli didn't have the proper parental fortitude to stand up to his sons' evil ways, or he might have been forced to overlook the matter for the sake of having 'ministering priests' available, there being no one else.

    And we can see this type of thing happening when there isn't proper discipline taken in the home or the Church. For some, their elevated position & almost spiritual infallibility seem to give them licence to what they please & there being none strong enough to warn them or deal with them. Or take the example of a pastor or missionary who is so heavily involved in ministry, demanding almost all his time & energies, yet neglecting the spiritual & emotional welfare of his own family. How often we hear of these children, who ought to be wonderful examples of the Lord's servants, but having left the Church & leading lives of sinful abandon. The Lord's Work begins first in the home, the proving ground for higher service; 1 Timothy 3:4,5.

    Pray for the departed. If for only that his faith were made whole. Only God can do these things! Remember ,He knows the very numbered hairs on your head! Sometimes God will reveal things to us ,to help us understand these things. Very, very important that we do not take the predetermined council of God away! Or that we have the inalienable right to do so! the war for the children's souls have already been won ,through His Son, Jesus Christ! This you must believe and teach to your children! Only Jesus Christ!

    It is not lord and lord . Its Lord Of Lords!! Big , big dif!
  • James Alexander Hunt on Zechariah 8 - 5 years ago
    Lord and Lord of Hosts... The difference between the 2 is almost enigmatic here; however, we are talking about 2 different entities here. Why has this never been brought up in the modern "Church" and, significance?
  • Daniel - In Reply on John 17 - 5 years ago
    "There is not a single verse that says Jesus is God the Son" bla bla bla Son of God.. Here does it say straight out GOD, Almight, Mighty GOD. This is not an eye problem but an heart problem for the deity of Yeshua The Messiah

  • Jamie on John 17 - 5 years ago
    My teen daughter asked me tonight if you commit suicide will you still go to heaven. She unfortunately had a cousin who did so. I have looked and I'm new to God's word so I don't know what to tell her.
  • Dahg - In Reply on Luke 1:31 - 5 years ago
    Paul wrote, there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 1 Corinthians 8:6 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Mark 12:29
  • Dahg - In Reply on Luke 1:31 - 5 years ago
    My brother, I fear that you have been seduced by false doctrine. Please remember that God the father and Jesus the lord are 2 separate beings. The book of Genesis quotes God the father saying, "I am God and there is none beside me." On the other hand Jesus said, "My father works and I work, I do nothing of myself, but my father who is in heaven." The son cannot be his own father, nor the father be his own son. The names given in the first chapter of Rev. are revealed to be pertaining to God the father when one reads Rev. 1:4&5. Please take note of the word 'and' at the beginning of vs.5.
  • Chris - In Reply on 1 John 4 - 5 years ago
    Yes, John is writing to Christians in his epistle. And yet the truth of love is upon each person, whether Christian or the non-Christian who claims to know & love God: that true love for God demands a love for one another. Or else, how can that earthly love be real when we claim to love God, Who can't be felt or seen.

    But what does that Love entail? This is a pure, holy, Christlike love. One that reaches out to a brother, sister or anyone in need: whether for comfort, provision, practical help, or whatever. The opposite of that is, turning away from the needy, even when the Spirit impresses upon the believers' heart to go forward & minister to him/her. And in extreme cases, even when considering our own lives when another is about to perish, thus we hold back. I know this can be difficult as many factors come into play, but we need to keep tender hearts towards all people, regardless on how we're treated, reaching out to them as Christ would have done & expects us to do. And yes, we are all still growing in this area & hopefully maturing into the fullness of Christ's Love in us & through us.
  • Dahg - In Reply on James 2:3 - 5 years ago
    Sorry to tell you, but Paul didn't write the book of James. It was James the Lords' brother and he was writing to Jewish believers who knew the "law" and instructing them on how to 'come out from among her my people.'
  • Chris - In Reply on Hebrews 10 - 5 years ago
    Page 2.

    When these apostates left, they would have not had any convictions about their actions - they were cast off to join the throng of Christ-rejecters, & more so, having also once been partakers of the Spirit's offerings (6:4-6, shows the same warning there also). For the believer, all sin is forgivable, except for blasphemy & here, in rejecting Christ after having received the Gospel of Truth, & their fate is certain. Therefore, Christ's death did deal with all manner of sins & God looks only on that Perfect Sacrifice that was able to accomplish it. What we do with that salvation subsequent to hearing & receiving it, it's up to us & remains before God. If we should slip up & sin, Christ's Blood continues to clean. If we choose to live in sin & say we are Christians, then we have to re-examine our lives & see what has gone wrong with our belief system & repent quickly & be born again by the Holy Spirit.

    Oftentimes, we Christians look at a Scripture & form a judgement. It's always a good practise to learn as much as you can about a Bible book in regards to the authorship, readership, reasons for writing, etc. Hebrews was written primarily to Jews who had converted to Christ or likely, appeared to do so. So, unlike Gentile converts, these Jews had a lot of the OT already in their minds & so the writer had to deal with much of that. We can't go into that here; as you read this epistle with that in mind, you will see some of these hurdles they had to overcome.

    Hebrews 10:26,27, is one of those warnings given. It was directed to some who had or were planning to leave the faith (apostatize); in other words, they wanted to reject Christ & His salvation preferring to return to Judaism. Hence the 'sin' spoken of in v26, is the sin of Christ rejection by turning back to Judaism. So the writer goes on in v28,29, that if those who wilfully disobeyed the Law in times past were executed for their crime, how much more worthy will be the punishment for any who now consider the Sacrifice of Christ as a useless vain offering, showing hatred to God's gracious Work.
  • Dahg - In Reply on Exodus 20 - 5 years ago
    Biblically there is no day named that we are to keep holy. The day is simply called the Sabbath/Shabot. They were told specifically to "remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy" Since Christ is our Sabbath or Rest then we are to 'rest' in Him and cease from our own labor and work for the Kingdom of God.
  • Uzo on 1 Samuel 3:18 - 5 years ago
    I do not understand this verse. Eli was a priest and I believe he could have done something to salvage the situation. Why accept such a gruesome future.

    This warning was coming to him a 2nd time, he should have rebuked his sons and done all he could to stop them from continual desecration of the house of God. If he could sense the voice of God, then he should know that God will do what he has said. Why not be remorseful and take appropriate actions to stop his sons. That's what I would have done, even if my sons threatened to kill my flesh, bcos God can kill both the flesh and the soul. Why did Eli accept this faith?
  • Chris - In Reply on Habakkuk 1 - 5 years ago
    This prophetical Book is generally placed at around 605-607 BC during the reign of Judah's King Jehoiakim. And this prophecy was just before Nebuchadnezzar took Judah into Babylon captivity. So this prophesy served to warn Judah of the Lord's intention to punish her.
  • Abigail - In Reply on Exodus 20 - 5 years ago
    I want to know where in the bible tells me that Saturday is the true day God rested from all his work and keep it holly.
  • Chris - In Reply on Leviticus 13 - 5 years ago
    Firstly, just considering the two types of Offering (amongst others as appointed to Israel to perform), that you referred to: the Burnt Offering was a daily, continual Offering made on the Altar by the Priest. It was done indicating the continuing, eternal position of Israel before their God & their full consecration to Him. Whereas the Sin Offering was, as the name suggests, an offering for the sins of the priest & the people. This was done yearly on the Day of Atonement, but also the Offering made at other times of the year, as required & as mentioned below.

    In Leviticus chapter 12, we see the account of a new mother who is required to fulfil these Offering requirements. For the Burnt Offering, the mother indicated her gratitude to the Lord for His Mercies in child-bearing & delivery. Even as she remembered the 'curse' placed upon women because of Eve's transgression ( Genesis 3:16) & so the offering she made was in gratitude for God's Mercies upon her & bringing through this time of "sorrow in conception & birth".

    She then offered the Sin Offering. Ordinarily, we couldn't justify such an offering as the bearing of child is not associated with any sin. However, Jews support the need for this offering by commenting, that in the event that a mother, in delivery sinned, whether in her mind or by her mouth, because of the pain she was experiencing, an offering was required to cover the sin. So this wasn't anything to do with the sin of Eve, but of some personal transgression committed at this time.
  • Abigail Ghama on Ruth 4 - 5 years ago
    Infact this book is a great lesson to our human race. Before someone will be used for a work like this, there are qualities a person must posess. This woman we talking abou thad it 100%. Ruth was truly a VIRTUOUS WOMAN
  • Rod - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 6:20 - 5 years ago
    yes I agree totally, also as Luke writes in Chapter 17

    32 Remember Lot's wife.

    33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
  • Adam - In Reply on 2 Kings 20 - 5 years ago
    I'm absolutely disgusted by what I've seen and is hard to feel hopeful by such rampant evil. I was praying for this country to turn around. I think God is letting this country destroy itself and be humbled. God has seen sodomy openly embraced, idolatry of money and power by Washington and the swamp, rewarding criminals and releasing them from prisons, while putting people in prison for protecting themselves and their families or exercising their free speech, attacking of Christians and those with conservative values, openly cheating, lying, and deceiving, and pushing propaganda through the media to deceive the masses. I've never seen anything like this. I trust that God will punish those who need punishing, will allow evil to be exposed and protect those trying to follow Him.
  • The Caught Up - In Reply on 2 Thessalonians 2 - 5 years ago
    1 Corinthians 15:52

    In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

    See the whole chapter when studying. In answer to your question, I think not. A twinkling is shorter than an eye blink; I was taught once.

    The dead in Christ rise first; and then those alive in Christ, rise next. We are taken to heaven immediately. Millions or billions of people.

    Don't procrastinate. It's time to turn to Jesus now with all of your heart.

    He's not a fire insurance policy. He is offering you the free gift of salvation from your sins. A gift has to be received.

  • Rick Colombe on 2 Kings 20 - 5 years ago
    On this day January 6, 2021 we have lost our country to an evil political party. All of us need to pray that God will show us favor and stop this evil from destroying our country.
  • Rod - In Reply on James 2:3 - 5 years ago
    James chapter 2 is one of those corner stones in our every day christian life, if you read the rest of the chapter it becomes self explanatory that Paul is talking about having respect (judging) of persons, as to what they wear, in other words he tells us to be aware of our own prejudices to people simply because one is dressed better than the other, we could even think of such things as racial prejudices that we see in today's world, rich and poor, and so on.

    James 2:4 "Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?"

    James 2:6 "But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?"

    James 2:8 "If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:"

    James 2:9 "But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors."

    James 2:26 "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
  • Jay on Luke 1:31 - 5 years ago
    Because He is all of those and more...the names of God are numerous...He is God...healer, deliverer, Saviour, shepherd, bread of life, the Branch, the root of Jesse, Son of David, Son of Man, Bright Morning Star, Alpha and Omega, Wonderful Counselor, the Nazarene, Mighty God, Everlating Father, the Prince of Peace! There is no end to the list. He is all of those if you search the scriptures you will find this to be so. He is also named the Light of the world...the resurrection and the Life, the Way, the Truth, the Life...I love Him with all my heart!
