    I certainly agree that there is only one sacrifice that can save & there is only one baptism that can sanctify & bring us into the family of God. Nevertheless, water baptism as Jesus prescribed & to which all the apostles attest to was necessary as part of that salvation experience. The only ones that were exempt from water baptism, as I surmise, were the apostles who were met by the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. As well, we don't ever see the apostles speaking about their water baptism.

    Every other person who has had the Gospel brought to them, who has responded to the Spirit's call upon them, is required to be baptized soon after their conversion by the one who has led them to the Lord. This of course rarely happens these days with people being baptized months or years later, which to me seems pointless & anti-scriptural.

    What the Website Commentary says on this verse

    Wesley's Notes for Psalms 19:13

    19:13 Presumptuous - From known and evident sins, such as are committed against knowledge, against the checks of conscience, and the motions of God's spirit. Dominion - If I be at any time tempted to such sins, Lord let them not prevail over me, and if I do fall into them, let me speedily rise again.

    Your logic is tortured and your interpretations are pompous and vain. Go to a 12 step meeting and learn some truths that you can live by.
  • Chris - In Reply on Ecclesiastes 3 - 5 years ago
    In man's attempt to present new Bible versions in contemporary English & style, they have also appealed to 'old' manuscripts that have not wholly been faithful to the true Words of God. Not to say that these other versions are altogether in error, but the many changes, inclusions & omissions should alert us to maintaining constant vigilance in this area. I would also include the Apocryphal writings as well - these too are riddled with errors, that to me, make any use of them, worthless & futile. Though many Christians are ill-informed about these things & so they continue on in blissful ignorance & not knowing the full Truth. But the bottom line is this: should one read from another 'acceptable' version so that they can understand what they read, or read from the KJV that is difficult to comprehend because of its wording & style?
  • Chris - In Reply on Habakkuk 2:3 - 5 years ago
    Thanks for sharing that good news, Josef. Is this still the RC Church you were speaking about, or another Church? In the West, we hardly realize how difficult it is for Christians living & worshipping in Islamic countries, especially for those who have come out of Islam & want to follow the true God. May the Lord be with you & direct your steps in the days ahead & increase your knowledge & love for Him.

  • Elijah Wilson - In Reply on Ecclesiastes 3 - 5 years ago
    Hello Mr.Wallace,

    This is a good question. We begin to understand by reading the book of Revelations, the types of things that will befall those who love God in the end-times, which all be for God's glory.

    Matthew 24 is an excellent example of what to expect.

    Read Jeremiah 5:31. The wicked deceive the people of God, and God's people love the have it so.

    In summary there is nothing sacred, nothing which Satan will not pollute and corrupt. People prefer to have a bible and God that conforms to their own wants, and desires. And they have corrupted versions of God's word to fulfill these desires.

    Comments on the washing of the feet which was symbolic of mans hearts, Its our hearts that defile us not our feet or our personal hygiene.Satan had entered the heart of Judas to betray Jesus not his feet as Jesus said he that eateth bread with me has lifted up his heel ( his foot ) against me but Judas neva did kick Jesus Judas assaulted Jesus with his heart not his feet.The foot washing was a heart washing and is so important that Jesus said if i wash thee not you will have no part with me even tho they had been water baptised.This foot washing was parabolic of a heart washing . I will give them a new heart and a new spirit And is nothin less then the baptism of the H.G. the new covenant, I will pour out my spirit on all flesh thus we will clean each others feet/ our hearts with his word the living word which is that Christ that is gona be born in US via that good seed the word. If i wash thee not you will have no PART WITH ME IMPLING ITS OUR HEARTS THAT NEED WASHING , BEING BORNAGAIN OF AN INCORRUPTIBLE SEED ETC A HEART WASHING . Its our hearts that need washing not our feet but jesus did everything in parables and metaphors. An old friend that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me but Judas neva assaulted Jesus with his feet or kicked JESUS .Judas assaulted Jesus with his heart as the scriptures say satan had entered the heart of Judas to betray Jesus SO THIS FOOT WASHING WAS REALLY A HEART WASHING . OK GBU
  • Bendito Palavra - In Reply on Genesis 4 - 5 years ago
    By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. ( Hebrews 11:4)

    For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. ( 1 John 3:11-12)
  • Jane Miner on Job 41:3 - 5 years ago
    I heard in my ear last night, mama soft and then a strum of a guitar. I shot to in my bed thinking about my daughter which was spending the night with friend. I remember praying for eyes to see and ears to hear, and a voice for him. Having also woke up with my right ear popping last night, big pop. I don't know if the ear had anything to do with it, but it was a loud one. We also had a storm here last night. When I had awoken with voice and guitar it was heavy winds blowing and light rain. I am going to continue to go through scripture to try to understand and pray on it. Thank you! Peace be with you!

  • Alex on 1 Corinthians 16 - 5 years ago
    Chris ya gotta realize that all the unclean ANIMALS in that sheet that God showed PETER was humanity the Church that was made Clean by the blood of the lamb,HG. BAPTISM .THE BAPTISM OF PROMISE via the CROSS NOT WATER BAPTISM. The sheet was knit at the 4 corners which is symbolic of the Cross his blood that is knit in the 4 Gospels. Three times GOD rebuked Peter with that sheet telling Peter that it was by the blood of the lamb he made everybody Clean,If i be lifted up I will draw All men UNTO ME.What i have made CLEAN ( BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB ) Do not call common or unclean ) Thats what Peter was impling that the Cross was insufficieth they still needed water baptism who can forbid water,Peter was commanding water baptism as if the cross was insufficient lacking etc he was also impling that water cd remit sins who can forbid water thats when the lord rebuked peter 3 times with that sheet. After that Peter understood the vision he said Then rememebered i the words of our lord John baptised you with water but i will baptise you with the H.G. and fire who was i to withstand God . Nomore does Peter command water baptism but said being bornagain of an incorruptible seed even by the Words of our lord, no water mentioned. Chris ya gota realize that its by this word which is the good seed that forms FAITH in US initiating a birth of Christ in us The substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen which is the H.G. THE Child of PROMISE. but without this baptism of the H.G there can be no fruit unto God,She brought forth a man Child that is gona rule all nations and this woman in rev 12 is the best example of the new birth and the baptism of the H.G th PROMISE CHILD, FRUIT UNTO GOD, My lil children of whom i travail in birth till Christ is formed in you . The Child of PROMISE which is the new covenant a birthing covenant he said "I will KNOW THEM ALL" THIS KNOW THEM ALL IS AN INTIMACY THAT RESULTS IN A BIRTH OF CHRIST IN US THE SON OF MAN. TH CHILD OF PROMISE
  • Krystal-Marie Nymann on Psalms 46:4 - 5 years ago
    Thank you so much for these wonderful comments and yes fear can literally destroy all of those things. And it has destroyed many areas of my life. But God shall use all of the bad and turn it for the goodness of his will to be made manifest in our lives. God is such an overcomer he is such a victor and a winner. That means that negative voices in the mind though it sounds like the internal voice in your mind what the reality is that it is not at all that voice. Your voice that speaks negatively to you in your mind is not your voice! It is the demonic! They are deaf dumb blind and mute, however, your earthen vessel the body is carrying the demonic if we allow it in. As if you resist the devil he will flee from you and you can still do that. Yet when you now can separate yourself which is a spirit of power love and of sound mind made in the image and in the likeness of God and you begin to see the truth made manifest within your existence that your spirit is just as powerful as the God who created the universe because it is him. He did breath life into us and when he did that he gave our lifeless physical body the ability to make the heart beat, the blood flow through the veins, the brain to think the eyes to see the ears to hear the vocals to create sound. His spirit is what I AM. It is what YOU ARE all of us are the "I AM THAT I AM" that the God of the bible is. that is really profound and yet it is simple to grasp because God is so good
  • Lou Contino on John 5:43 - 5 years ago
    Go back to The Garden of Eden. To all the beasts of the field were attributes given to survive. Some have speed, some have stealth, some wings to leave the ground, some claws and others teeth to break bone. And yet Man who has none of these attributes was given the Authority to Rule over all of The Garden. This is because the strength of man is in the refuge of Christ. Christ made all and He is our refuge for power, strength and authority. But remember, the Kingdom Of God is in humility, servitude and mercy. So the smallest good deed of sharing is power, strength and authority given to us from Christ for His Love of us to be with Him in The Kingdom of God. Amen!
  • Alex on Luke 24:49 - 5 years ago
    Chris you do greatly err there is only 1 baptism of PROMISE which is the baptism of the H.G. not water baptism, Jesus , knew that ALL of his disciples had been water baptised but he warns them if I wash ( baptism of the H.G. ) THEE NOT YOU WILL HAVE NO PART WITH ME which speaks volumes of a greater baptism of his blood and they had all been water baptised see the need for the blood ABSOLUTLY nothin trumps the blood or can be compared to his Blood. Thats y the Lord was so upset with Peter he was impling that water baptism cd remit sins a slap in the face of God and the lamb of God impling what GOD HAS MADE CLEAN WAS BY THE BLOOD NOT WATER. LEST jESUS SHED HIS BLOOD IN VAIN. Luke 24 : 49 is not about water baptism but the baptisn of Promise behold i send the Promise of my father upon you but tarry in the city of jerusalem till ye be endued from on high Which was baptism of the H.G. 3 Times in the N.T. ITS RECORDED John baptised you with water but I will baptise you with the H.G. AND FIRE which is the baptism of PROMISE water baptism was neva the baptism of Promise . Chris even in the O.T. without the shedding of blood there was no remisison of sins thats y the Lord was so upset with Peter he was impling that the blood of our lord was insufficient and that water baptism cd remit sins making the blood of no effect as Paul also warns about saying that God sent me not to baptise but to preach the Gospel the Word the H.G fell on them that heard the Word th gospel .Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel resulting in the giving of the H.G. not water baptism as water does not remit sins. lest our Lord shed his blood in vain and the cross was just foolishness . I know that there were a few that still practiced water baptism . But we must remember what Jesus said IF I WASH THEE NOT ( TH PROMISE )YOU WILL HAVE NO PART WITH ME he told this to his disciples that had been water baptised i.e Unless WE ARE WASHED BY HIS BLOOD HE WILL HAVE NO PART WITH US THUS SAITH OUR LORD .

  • Chris - In Reply on Genesis 4 - 5 years ago
    We are not told why "God had respect unto Abel & his offering". It is generally assumed that Abel's offering came from the "firstlings of his flock" indicating a blood sacrifice & that Abel came with a humble responsive heart before God. However, Cain came with neither. But these can only be our guesses since blood sacrifice was not known at that time, but understood to be so, as it was the proper representation & substitute for human life.

    If you lived at that time, or at least as one of the Israelites, then you would have to provide a pure animal as sacrifice for your sins - this wasn't an option - it was a life for a life (Leviticus chapter 1). But thanks be to God, He sent forth His Own Lamb to be our Sacrifice, who was the only One Who could be the one & only offering for sin. Any sacrifice offered after Christ's death, could only show disregard & disobedience to God's Love & Mercy to us.

    As well, the animals that were sacrificed were not discarded - their remaining flesh became food for the Levitical priesthood.

  • Crucifying Our Fleshly Desires - In Reply on Genesis 6 - 5 years ago
    28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

    29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

    30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

    Comment: It is the believers that will be like the angels of God in heaven.

    That's a big deal to process. A lot of people in past days have been fixated on A False Doctrine being taught that Eve had sex with satan. See how easily false prophets put out false doctrines like a new brand of sneakers? Stay focused. The Bible warns us that this will be a huge problem in the final days: being led away; wandering off.

    Heaven is going to be fun. Stop thinking carnal. We're supposed to be crucifying our own flesh, daily.

    Better to marry than burn with lust.

    (Advice) marry a Christian.

  • Mishael - In Reply on Genesis 6 - 5 years ago
    Extreme fixation on angels and human sex organs could be cured by spending an hour praying in the Prayer Request Room. With people who have real problems and need someone who knows how to pray with a little mercy and grace.

    Jesus didn't think of it as a waste of time. He's at the right hand of God right now praying for all saints. (US)

  • Bolded you NAMES Explanation of HELL on 1 Corinthians 16 - 5 years ago
    Some believe that while Jesus' body was in the tomb, His spirit was in hell.Scripture doesn't support that position when it is taken in context and we look at the meaning of the word "hell." In the Old Testament, the place of the dead or the place of departed souls was called "SHEOL." It was to this place that all souls of the dead went to await resurrection.

    In the New Testament, we find the story of Lazarus and the rich man who both died and went to Hades ( Luke 16:19-31). The KJV translates the Greek word "hades" as hell but most other translations use the Greek word. HADES had two separated parts: Those who died in faith believing in God's promise waited for the resurrection in Abraham's Bosom. Those who died spiritually separated from God wait in torment for the resurrection unto death, eternal separation from God. The rich man was on the torment side and Lazarus was in ABRAHAMS BOSOM which was called "PARADISE" by the LORD Jesus Christ himself when He addressed the thief who found faith the day Jesus was crucified ( Luke 23:42-43)

    For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment" ( 2 Peter 2:4). The word translated "HELL" here is not the Greek word "HADES" but is the Greek word "TARTARUS" meaning ABYSS or the lowest regions. This could very well be the "gulf" that was fixed between the PLACE OF TORMENT and Abraham's Bosom ( Luke 16:26).

    Wherefore He saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fulfill all things" ( Eph 4:8-10). Leading captivity captive seems to refer to Jesus taking all those that waited in Paradise to heaven to be with Him. The descending into the "lower parts" then refers to Jesus mission of declaring Victory! M.
  • Stanjett - In Reply on Genesis 6 - 5 years ago
    Correct. Angels good and bad ones have no sex organs. They neither marry or are given in marriage.
  • Stanjett - In Reply on Genesis 6 - 5 years ago
    correct. Sons of God are humans. I'm a son of God.
