is Jesus god?

In reference to Verse 9 of Ecclesiastes chapter 7, God answered a prayer for me today, I finally got my daughter to let go of anger, and help us rebuild our relationship. This will forever be the verse I refer to where God answered my prayer. He is an awesome GOD, not only curing my Cancer but now giving me back my daughter. I will forever praise HIS HOLY NAME!!

In my Holy Bible the Sun is in capts how does the dead sea strolls depict it?

what is the power in fasting and praying?

Jesus said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do". He came to die and offer His forgiveness to His enemies and persecutors.

Father, help us in these difficult and latter days to have a right perspective. Grant a special mercy and protection to our Christian brothers and sisters facing intense persecution. Comfort them in their affliction and give them wisdom in the face of their persecutors. Grant them a quick escape route and keep them free from evil intentions. Help them to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves". When they cannot escape in this life, grant them the peace of knowing that though they may destroy the body, they can never touch the soul of those who belong to you. May your Word continue to go forth unhindered and unbound. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ: may they be blessed beyond measure! Amen and Maranatha!

Your insight is amazing! Thanks for this. Is peace and comfort the same? I always believed the comforter as the Holy Spirit! Is not the Holy Spirit, more than peace? Can peace fill us up with Him? Kind of like being with him at the table, sharing a meal? Surrounded by Him, while at work! I surely find comfort in that! The comforter is in fact a person in the trinity! Peace is an attribute of Knowing the Christ. Solomon, like all the prophets, wished they had seen his day! What comfort there is, in seeing him, and knowing that he is! This is the comfort we have, knowing that He is, and He has risen and fills us up, through faith in his resurrection!

Before the mountaines were broughtforth, or euer thou hadst formed the earth and the world

Psalms 90:2

Someone explain because I thought the earth was the world?

And as the bible says, let precept be upon precept and line upon line, please don't give me your opinion on this verse, give me scripture upon scripture and if it doesn't line up with that verse to the point where I can understand it I need someone else to try to explain!

Food & Rainment. God/Christ only states He will provide food & raiment. Apostle Paul as well ( 1st Timothy 6:8)

1st Epistle of Peter is written and starts out stating "to the strangers scattered" throughout... Why?

This is not our world. Jesus states in the Gospel of John 14:3 that He has gone to prepare a place for us and is coming back to receive us to Himself. Again, this is not our home.

are there other ways to repent to the heavenly father without saying the same prayer everytime?

great job

what does the bible say about repentance? well, the bible says that Jesus told everybody to repent and the kingdom of heaven is at hand. we have the opposition to repent because Jesus himself died for our horrible sins and our evil doings. because of him, we have peace and freedom to repent and to draw closer to him and his heavenly father. also, the bible mentions the ten commandments.

I Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

When a Christian person dies. The earthly body stays and the spirit goes to heaven. Then at the time of rapture their spirit gets a new body which goes to heaven .. that's just what I understand and believe with all my heart.

where are we in the trials n tribulations? what chapters relate to us in the now?

Alex on who is he that cometh in the name of the LORD ,it goes back to David which was his prophecy of Solomon a great judge and a great king that wd build the temple that WD COME OUT OF DAVIDS LOINS, Jesse's Grandson. Solomon which means COMFORTER . But its all prophetic of the H.G. a greater then SOLOMON Which will build the great temple in our hearts and minds . This heavenly Solomon comes out of Christ loins which is the H.G. As the H.G. comes out of Christ loins meaning his seed which is his WORD ( HIS BREATH ) ETC. And this is who comes in the NAME OF THE LORD, THE H.G. The Child of PROMISE .Remember Jesus said that the FATHER will send the H.G. IN MY NAME meaning Christ is the FATHER of that heavenly Child simply b/c it was Christ seed his WORD ( breath )that gives us the seed to birth the H.G. Thats y jesus said that which is born of the spirit is spirit thats the H.G. .Even in the natural our breath is our WORD but with JESUS his breath was his seed his WORD . THE SEEDS OF VERY GOD TO WHOM THE WORD CAME IT MADE THEM GODS And whosoever receiveth one such Child in my name receiveth me. But in the time of Christ it was the donkey and her colt that had to be loosed from that place where 2 ways meet which is humanity that is tied up in a place where 2 ways meet as Paul said when i wd do good evil is present with me,The flesh and the spirit wars against each other but we are gonna be loosed when we birth our colt ( OUR FRUIT UNTO GOD ) which is the H.G. the SON OF MAN. But when they saw Jesus riding the donkey and her colt they were very excited saying BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, Blessed is the Kingdom of our father DAVID ( Christ ) THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, Name implies offspring r fruit of Christ which is the H.G. WHICH COMES FROM HIS SEED HIS WORD ETC All of this implies a heavenly birth ,Thats y he said Whosoever receives one such CHILD in MY NAME receives ME. Blessed is he that cometh in the NAME of the lord . th HG

It was Ishmael

Gods word is so simple, yet deep. On must have child like faith to see within the words.

Chris, glad to see you here! I have a question I would like for you to answer. Im confused as I read Genesis 1:27-29 . and then read Genesis 2:5.where it says there was no man to till the ground. Thanks Chris

Only this week I discovered responses in my little used email account.

mishael, you answered my post, but not my question. That's evasion, but is it intentional? Free of what? Free of what? Free of what?

"People are given freewill." Really? Free of what? Anyone claiming we have a free will is saying we are free of sin and not dead in trespasses and sin, before being saved, so who needs Christ?

Just to clarify a few things you've stated. Yes, you can cure all your children fully & everyone would rejoice in that healing. But, that cure doesn't indemnify them from contracting a further disease or illness. As people in a corrupt body, we will always be subject to physical, mental & emotional traumas, & only physical death will release us from that state. However, the Lord will give us the needed Grace to continue living & to do so joyfully & expectantly because of Who He is: our loving Heavenly Father.

My understanding of God's part in salvation is that the sin nature is never removed; if it were, then we would be sinless, as Jesus was, & which of us could make that claim. Our salvation is dependent on God's forgiveness of our sin because of His Son's Sacrifice. In that sense our sins were taken away for He no longer charges us with them nor holds them to our account. Under the Old Covenant, the blood of animals was only a temporary covering for their sin & to secure God's forgiveness each year ( Hebrews 10:4) & pointed forward when the shed Blood of Jesus would be a once only event ( Romans 6:10), Him being God's Provision of the Perfect Sacrifice that gave total efficacy.

"How can the Holy Spirit dwell inside a corrupt temple". One could also ask how could God choose to dwell between the cherubim & over the Mercy Seat in the earthly Tabernacle? God chose to be there in spite of sinful men around & on a corrupt Earth. Our temple might be corrupt & decaying, but the Spirit gives us a renewed spirit with whom He chooses to dwell beside & minister to. The old nature remains, to which Satan has his appeal, & to whom we battle day after day seeking victory over temptation & sin. For anyone to claim that they never sin after being born again, either doesn't know what sin is or is deluding themselves to believing that that is their state. And I'm not talking about a life of sin, but the sins which comes to all of us & to which we may fail to find victory.

One can't be certain that Pharaoh at this point did what was unseemly to Sarai ( Genesis 12:19). It's only stated in verse 15, that she was taken into Pharaoh's house, which could mean that she was placed in a separate dwelling as part of his harem & being groomed to become his wife later on. But if she was brought straight to Pharaoh, the Word doesn't give any details of that encounter.

1 Corinthians 6 verse 9....nor abusers of themselves with mankind. Can you expand a little what this passage means?

This verse is very interesting. Is it saying that Moses is a God. If so, are we also.

You have used the scripture well. Our flesh and the world, always tries and quell the spirit of God that lives within us. The love that we so dearly need is His spirit. We deceive ourselves when we live outside His spirit that is in Christ! The holy spirit uses the word charity, because it is the mobility , or the transfer, of so great love! It is no longer just noise! It is a living word.

Hello, I'm not sure if you'll get this or not- depends on if you check back or put in your right email.

But you seem to be asking others to offer things to you. This site and others have lots of encouraging verses, inspirational images, and dialog. But have you first tried searching? Have you tried reading some of the Bible? I noticed you asked for comments instead of Bible verses. We should put our hope and trust in God's Word, not man's words. Have you tried praying to God? God bless.

Dear Dale, if this is a prayer request I'm sure you will have people praying for you. I think your assumption can be questioned, however. It sounds like you are demanding action from God as you wrote 'enough is enough' and you wrote "If God..." and you then wrote your expectations for how you would expect God to behave. Where did you come up with your expectations? Are they always 100% accurate and true? Have your expecations ever been wrong? How possibly could you know God's thoughts? I would suggest reading related scriptures in the Bible on this subject as it might offer a different perspective. There are discussions posted fairly often about why God allows imperfections and what we consider inconveniences to occur. Many of our own inconveniences are a result of our own actions, as well. Mankind seems mostly interested in their own comfort, pleasure, and fulfilling selfish meaningless desires while in this short temporary life on Earth. God has a different perspective than most people do.

He is worthy to be praised, morning, afternoon, night and everybody minute of our lives.

I am wondering the name of son who was bared from Pharaoh and Sarai.

I have children whom I Love very much. If they had a terminal disease and I had the cure, would I cure them ALL at once...(It is Finished)...or would I make them ask me every day for a small dose (repent DAILY)? You realize you are saying that even GOD can't take away All your sin...even those of the flesh. Did you know that the blood of bulls and goats not only FORGAVE sin, but cleansed the flesh from sin for a whole year. The Good News is Remission. The Old Covenant was forgiveness. How can we be Born of God and given a New nature, and still be old sinners still with sin nature. For Jesus said that you are a slave to whom you obey. Also how can the HOLY SPIRIT dwell inside a corrupt temple. For our bodies are the temple of GOD. How about believing the Full Truth. We walk by Faith, not sight. Holy to the Lord!

Mark 13

This is Jesus answer to the end times and how it works out .

Notice verse 23 " But take heed : behold I have foretold you ALL things .

Where is the rapture in this ?

It is not mentioned as I understand this chapter . Surely Jesus told us all things . I hold to Jesus and his prophecy as being true .
