You are doing good with the Bible quiz God Bless you in the up coming new year

May God continue to bless you with a wonderful family

Is the Lords name Jehovah

Sorry to hear about your loss, Linda. Humble reminder to confess sins even if only in prayer. I hope it gives you clarity. Prayed for you

God bless you for your faith in Him & not in medical contributions. And indeed, if you not only refuse vaccines, but also refuse any visits to the doctor, dentist, or others and also the taking of any medicines, prescription or not, does show a genuine trust in God, the Healer, to minister to you.

The problem arises when objectors to this vaccine, or any vaccine, may vocalize their concerns about them & that taking them is indicative of one's lack of trust, but they have no hesitation to visiting a doctor or tending to a wound or injury. I knew a lady (in her 40s), a lovely believer of great faith. She impressed me by her faith in God to refuse all medical intervention & drugs & indeed the Lord kept her for all these years, either healing her or giving her the grace to press on in spite of any pain. She contracted major stomach ulcers & as per her faith, trusted the Lord to give her healing. The Lord chose not to this time & she went Home to be with Him. All of a sudden my own understanding was torn, seeing both an active faith & a God Who keeps & heals and yet a sudden needless loss of a life at a 'young' age. But I consoled myself that she remained resolute & true to God & she accepted the Lord's Will however it fell upon her life.

Therefore, I see that we're in a similar predicament: we want to show faith in God rather than in vaccines, but we give no second thought to any visits to the medical fraternity to deal with our ailments. And, our refusal to be vaccinated may indeed foster greater faith in us, but if we should contract the disease & then pass it on, we might fail to accept responsibility for the loss of an innocent life or even convince ourselves that we're not to blame - some even placing the blame on the victim. Yes, this is a very personal issue & decision that I don't see as one, that only demonstrates our faith in God to heal, but also vitally connected to our responsibility for the physical welfare of those around us.

amen!!!!

Hello saints of God, the Highest. I thought the discussion was about Jesus being born from a virgin birth. Because Jesus' birth would be a sign, given to them, is what I would like to be more enlightened about. I will go back to my studies and possibly get back to you, to hear your comments on the sign of Jesus' birth and the why or reason-the purpose in context.

Where in the bible do I find,,,,in the world but not of the world

I love it

Angel taking a message from God to Daniel was intercepted by an angel of satin

Abaddon will make the evil ones pay the price. Abaddon is Gods wrath manifested into a being that will destroy the impure when all the good souls have departed.

That's ok though. Let them. It's humility. Pride tells us not to but pride is the sin of Lucifer.

When is the Sabbath day

Is the covid19 vacines the Mark of the beast. The DNA swab confirms a cold or flu virus & this it is a money maker costing the poor victim their lives @ a price of $3200. The vaccine containing the DNA of wolves, monkey parts & embryo, is not this forbidden blood & flesh or do we honor Jesus words in My 23 to obey authority? What is the Mark of the beast. Is it the all knowing tree of good & evil our service men have been subjected to (AI or Artificial Intelligence), Remote viewing & out of body experiences that will soon cause us to want to commit suicide yet not be able to die? These DNA changed using canavorus to eliminate the elderly populous & make big pharma richer? Is this not the Mark of the Beast, or I'd it the sin within us that will bring the beast to desire devouring our flesh? When the Harvest of Ingathering

comes, will this not be God's Wrath?

those who have Jesus/Yeshua have salvation and life those doesnt need vaccines. and if they get sick Jesus healed them completely, vaccines are from the devil to deceives those who doesnt have faith enough

There is no mention of vaccines in the Bible as they are a relatively 'recent' innovation. However, there were primitive experiments conducted in the earlier part of the last millenium (i.e. 1000 AD onwards) by the Chinese. You can read more about vaccines on the Site: History of Vaccines. As you go through it, you can see the impact that vaccines have had on preventing greater worldwide diseases over the centuries, so I don't see that there is anything wrong in what is simply 'preventative medicine'.

With all the hype & rhetoric about the proposed vaccines for Covid, we can easily fall into the trap of believing that sinister inclusions are being brought in with them. I have no fear of this, but do wonder how effective the vaccines might be & whether there would be any adverse reaction to them, given that a complete & thorough testing regime hasn't been carried out.

To prevent sickness or disease, God had instructed Israel on what to eat, correct washings, dealing with the appearance of disease, waste disposal, etc. so that they might remain healthy. See Leviticus chapters 11 to 20. And most importantly, they had to be obedient to the Lord & trust Him for their care, even as we need to do so now. Many Christians remain fearful of the future & of their lives - this is not what the Lord expects of us, rather to trust Him for whatever situation we have to face or are found in, & use the wisdom He gives us to live clean lives: spiritually, physically & mentally, honouring Him in everything we do or confronts us.

Thank You :)

Jesus gave a series of parables & if we take it up from verse 36, when the disciples came to Him to enquire about the sower who sowed good seed & the tares came up with them.

The crop field is the World; the Sower is Jesus; the good seed are the children of the Kingdom; the tares are the followers of Satan; & God's angels sort the good from the bad.

So we see here that Jesus is speaking of those who are or will be in His Kingdom (one the many facets of it). Jesus is seeing His Church, into which the good seed was sown & which brought forth fruit unto Him. Yet, the enemy has also been busy, sowing his tares amongst the good seed. If the Church can easily see them, knowing them by their fruit & behaviour, then Church discipline is in order. Sometimes though, the tares remain hidden & dormant, what we can't see but do not escape the Eyes of God. At the harvest-time, all the Church will experience 'reaping', but God will separate the good seed that was sown from the bad seed sown by the enemy.

And the Church from its earliest days, suffered the intrusion of Satan by those claiming to have God's Word to impart, but gave out teaching foreign to those from Christ & His apostles, & tried to lead innocent believing souls away from Christ. And this wicked work still goes on in the Church today, so the warning given by the Lord. So we are the Kingdom of God on Earth for now as His Spirit indwells His Children - but in the Millenium, Christ will reign from Jerusalem ruling from His Kingdom & we will be there as well, so that His Kingdom will be realized.

Daniel 2:43 is one of the most intriguing verses of the Old Testament. For a possible explanation, remember what Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the Son of Man returns." For those who miss the true meaning of Genesis 6 (fallen Angel's assuming human form, and siring mutant half-angel, half human GIANTS), what Jesus said about the conditions on earth at the time of His return corresponding to the conditions of Noah's time would not have the full meaning. Why did God judge the earth with a global Flood, killing everyone but Noah and his family? Yes, conditions were exceedingly wicked on the earth, and all the imaginations of men's heart were evil, but what was the PRIMARY reason God's judgment fell? It was because Satan had introduced his plan to corrupt the entire human Genome- and invalidate God's promise made in Genesis 3 concerning the "Seed of the woman") by introducing alien, satanic DNA via the co-habitation of fallen angels ("who left their first estate" and took on human form) with the daughters of men, of whom they took as many as they wanted (indicating this un-natural intermarriage- which was detestable to God- was occurring on a LARGE basis). WHY did God choose Noah to carry on the human race? Not only because Noah was a "just man" and a :"righteous man", but because Noah was PERFECT IN HIS GENERATIONS, i.e. Noah's bloodline had not been contaminated by an admixture, somewhere in his bloodline, eith the SEED OF THE SERPENT. if Satan could contaminate the ENTIRE human Genome with the SEED OF THE SERPENT, God's promise that the SEED OF THE WOMAN (Christ) who would crush the HEAD of the Serpent's seed would be invalidated. It's quite possible that, as it was in the Days of Noah, Satan will once again attempt to staff the leadership of the earth with half-angel, half-human beings, the product of the pairing of a fallen angel with a daughter of Adam. Ultimately, of course, it will be totally unsuccessful. Jesus has ALREADY won

You're correct, those particular terms are not found in the Bible; only Son of God or Spirit of God. However, could it be that those terms actually imply a similar meaning?

For example, I point out a car to you which is parked kerbside. I tell you, "That's my car". How do you understand me? In the normal way, you will immediately assume that the car belongs to me. But actually it doesn't belong to me, it belongs to a friend, from whom I have loaned it. So which is correct? In a sense, both are correct: the car is mine because I have the key to it & I drive it - so it could be that I own it or I took loan of it - it's still mine to get inside & drive it.

The point I'm making is that whether Jesus is described as 'the Son of God' or 'God's Son' or 'God the Son', can still have the same meaning only if the Scriptures spoken about Him, warrant it. If we didn't have John 1:1-14, John 20:28, Isaiah 9:6, Titus 2:13, Colossians 2:9, Hebrews 1:1-8, John 10:30, 2 Peter 1:1, & others, given to us, then yes, you would be entirely correct to say that Jesus is just a created Being by God, thus to be called His Son.

So the question is not about the accuracy of the term 'God the Son', but rather what do people do with all the other Scriptures that point to Jesus being both the Son of God & God the Son? I have often asked people to exegete John 1:1-14 to me & they have failed to do so. I did see a Christadelphian article on it, & they say "the Word that became flesh was not the incarnate Son but the incarnate Word". Strange! If the Word became flesh & we know of no other human that became one from the Word of God, then it must apply to Jesus Who is God's Word made flesh & dwelt amongst us. I have no problem with this, but those who oppose this doctrine fail to provide an adequate explanation, rather either avoid such Scriptures or apply another interpretation to them to support their belief. Some might be convinced by this - others, reading the Word, remain unconvinced.

Hal Lindsey ? Good grief ...

There is a time for everything and we must use discernment to be able to tell when it is the appropriate time for something.

What does the bible say about taking a vaccine

Where in the Scriptures do you find the terms "God the Son" or "God the Holy Ghost/Spirit"? My bible reads, "I am God and there is none other." There is One God and Father, One Lord and Savior, and one Spirit. Only ONE of these is referred to as God in the Scriptures.

It's a shame the KJV has been used by many cults , they always devise doctrine that is contrary to the scriptures them selves . Being led by spirits of Antichrist. Stick with the Bible and Gods given wisdom , ask of God if you lack it

I can't respond to what you've said by quoting from the Word, as it remains silent on a subject that I understand was not Church practice at that time. However, I believe you're correct in your thoughts about these 'Christian' holidays which have their roots in paganism.

Of the early Church, which should have made much ado about their Saviour's birth, death & resurrection by commemorating them on particular days, I note that the Word remains noticeably quiet. Yet, in the meaning & practise of the Lord's Supper, I tend to believe that they acknowledged Jesus' coming & work on the Cross at this time, without the need for the allocation of special days (which days they too, like us, may not be certain of).

Like you, I was very pedantic on this subject when I first came to Christ, as I was, with many other beliefs & practises of Christians. I only wanted to follow the teaching from the Word & not the teaching & traditions of men. Over the years, I have quietened & softened over the matter, taking comfort that at least the ungodly world can on these two occasions in the year, receive something of the glorious message of God. That they may know that this holiday time is not just a happy celebration of loved ones coming together in fellowship, but to consider the yearning of God to have fellowship & intimacy with all of them through His Son.

So how does God view the Christian's observance of these holidays? Again, I note that the Apostle Paul went to any length to be able to win souls for Christ. 1 Corinthians 9:20-23: He "became a Jew under the Law once again" (though not turning to Judaism) & to the "weak" (in faith & in mind), he became like them (in understanding their faithlessness), just so that by his identification with his hearers, he may be able to create open hearts to receive the Gospel which sets men free from the burden of the Law & is the trigger to receiving saving faith. We can use these occasions, any occasions, to share Christ's Love to all.

13:41 what kingdom is Jesus talking about?

Dear DaughterofthemosthighGod - in Reply on Jeremiah 16:19

What do you mean you disagree - it says clearly black on white!!

You say you are baffled with Judaism didn't believe Christ was the sent one. I am not baffled at all - it is crystal clear. Jesus fulfilled none of the requirements of messiah - where is world peace, where is knowledge of G-d in the whole world, where are the returned 10 tribes, where is the 3rd temple? Supposedly performing a few miracles is no criteria of messiah at all. He also transgressed many laws and went against the sages of the time. The list goes on and on.

Bonnie, "... them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up" I believe should be read this way:

... them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.

I think the comma after death separates the thought that those who lived in the region were under the shadow of death until Jesus came there. When he did, light sprung up.

Sorry but no rapture , get real faith Jesus is coming watch and pray
