  • Word 76 on Revelation 12 - 5 years ago
    Revelation 12 is what I call an outline of events of the past and things to come and I'll tell you verses 7 to 9 are yet to come. Satan kicked to earth and stands up in Jerusalem looking like a messiah with supernatural powers claiming he is God returned and the world goes wild in a fake peace and they party like in the days of Noah's time. Don't believe Satan and his deceptions.

  • Mishael on Proverbs 6:19 - 5 years ago
    Babies born alive after attempted abortions have been left to die. It's sickening and must be stopped.

    We've seen laws considered or passed in New York and Virginia that could allow infanticide. Congress has refused to require lifesaving protection be provided to babies who have actually been born.

    But the President recently signed an Executive order in an effort to change all of this. It's a massive step in the right direction for life. As President Trump said, he was "signing the born alive Executive order to assure that all precious babies born alive, no matter their circumstances, receive the medical care that they deserve. This is our sacrosanct moral duty."

    It is absolutely our moral duty, and something for which we at the ACLJ have been aggressively fighting for years.

    Every baby deserves a chance at life. Every baby deserves medical care and legal protections. But the abortion lobby is doing everything it can to block these protections.

    We're fighting to protect babies - born and unborn. But we need you to take action with us.

  • Shaarei - In Reply on Hebrews 2 - 5 years ago
    Reply to Greg . Know Ye not that We are the temples of God and His Spirit dwells within us. Verily verily I say unto thee, unless a man be born of Water and Spirit he can not ENTER the Kingdom of God. In my Father's house are many mansions ( enter the Kingdom into my Father's house) I go to prepare a place for you ( He has gone and He prepares our hearts ...now.) so that where I am you may be also . Acknowledge Him and He does direct our paths. See Lazarus, He did not conform to the world. He did not have worldly possessions. He did no works. He sat, He called upon the name of the Lord and He was still and knew that Our Lord is God, He suffered , He was mocked and pushed aside. Much to be seen in the Lazarus. John the Baptist said I must decrease and He must increase ....indeed self must be denied to the death . Penalty of sin is death....all flesh must die! But...Jesus is the ressurection of Life. He enters His chosen in ...Now. Death has lost its sting. There is nothing that can separate us from the Love of God. Yes brother. The church is the heart. If the oil ( His Spirit ) is full. He will see your light like a beacon set on a hill. Be the light that lights the dark places. Love by laying down your life for your friends. Our Lord is no man and no liar. What He has said He has fully performed . Love and Peace Is with you always into forever
  • Why the Potter used Dust to Make Us - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 5 years ago
    God used dust to create Adam. With Eve he took a rib from Adam. People have proven that dust contains all colors in the spectrum. We have to accept that nothing is written about why the dust separated itself into groups based on the colors they are.

    When (in Genesis) God have Adam orders as what he was to do: he gave Adam dominion over Everything on earth EXCEPT dominion over other humankind.

    People do not have dominion for any reason, over other people. Be it because of color, rich and poor, smart or humble, etc. God wanted diversity in all of His creation. Can the clay demand of the Potter: why have you made me thus so?

    Sin entered into mankind because of Adam and Eve. The descendants separated people based on diversities; and misery entered in. Skip forward to Nimrod who hated God and desired a tower so He could shoot arrows at Him.

    The Godhead decides to confuse people's language from one to many. The people moved away and built cities where they could speak and understand their own language. But, we are still carrying sin with us.

    In the process of time, rulers again separate people according to their Status. The DUST separates itself into Colors. Again, it's the curse of sin that did this. The colors separated into their own kingdoms. History and archaeology show that people dispersed all over earth to have their own kingdoms, languages and cultures. Sin went with us from the garden of Eden until even now.

    Jesus came to earth so that we could all be ONE in Him. We have to be born again in order to experience that Oneness. God doesn't see us in our man made diversities. He sees saved and unsaved.

    All this pain we feel every day will be over; when the Kingdom of God comes down to earth. We need to trust the Creator that He knows where we're all going. We will live in His Perfect Will, as it was always intended. No more tears or sorrow. No sin; just JOY. Every day.

  • Diane Smith on Jude 1:9 - 5 years ago
    Yes, Jude 1;9 "The Lord Rebuke thee"... as believers we have been given authority; Galatians 1;20-22 we are seated with Christ in heavenly places at the right hand of the Father...to rule and reign with Him, He is the head we are the body Gal 2; 5&6 Also Luke 10;19"Behold, I have given you all authority to tread on serpents and scorpions. I have given you authority over all the powers of the enemy, nothing shall by any means harm you. Also Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because Greater is He THAT IS WITHIN YOU, than he that is in the world. I John 4;4 ...So my question is When is it correct to say "The Lord rebuke thee"? Certainly Michael the archangel is more powerful (authority trumps power) than we are?? SO do we need to say the Lord rebuke thee.

    Luke 1 v 30 ,31,32,33,34,35

    These verses clarify who Jesus is . And when he began as the Christ .

    God manifested in the flesh .

    Let's not spiritualize Jesus into something else , but except the biblical record shown in Luke ch 1 and other places in the Bible that give this record .

    1 John 4 v 1,2,3...
  • David W Black - In Reply on Revelation 12 - 5 years ago
    Hi Chris, I'll try to clarify more as best as possible. Sin is the things you mention such as lying, stealing, murder. It also can be gossip and similar acts with evil intent. A very basic definition of sin is doing or not doing that which is against the will of God. Sin can be not doing what God says. Think of Jonah, God gave the order to witness to Nineveh, but he ran from the task.

    Ex: An evil thought enters the mind. You decide what to do with it, to cast it out or harbor it in your heart. If you cast it out, it's over. Victory against temptation. If it goes into the heart to continue, there is where sin develops and one begins to act out on it. See 1 Co. 10:5 "Casting down imaginations" I can only resist temptation because of God's Spirit in my heart from sanctification. Ex. 2: Judas; things such as covetousness/love of money was a temptation, he harbored it in heart and acted by betrayal for 30 pcs silver. Luke 22:3 Satan entered Judas because he did not cast temptation out but rather dwelled on it and acted on it. We know the rest, he betrayed Jesus and later regretted it, then in despair hung himself. He was saved at one time, temptation took hold, he betrayed Jesus, and lost out.

    James 1:12-15 "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation" Fact, all are tempted, but temptation does not become sin unless you let it linger in the heart. Temptation itself is not the sin but if it reaches the heart then it becomes sin.

    Consider these too; Ep. 4:3-6 Only 1 God who teaches all the same, no confusion in 1; 1 Co. 14:33, 1 Co. 1:10 speak the same thing, not language but in belief.

    I did not always know much about God. When I got saved, the Holy Spirit taught me truth and I then can read and understand the mysteries in the Bible. And to be clear, salvation and sanctification are 2 separate acts required to be fully saved from sin. Think OT tabernacle with 2 rooms, both with altars to apply blood sacrifice. Today Christ is the our sacrifice. If we believe and obey.

  • Grace on Genesis 1 - 5 years ago
    There is something missing from our creation discourses which ,in my belief, has not adequately been taught. And it is the question of why so many races and colors of people today. Where did it all come from ? How why where originate ? I think I know though.
  • Drew - In Reply on Daniel 9 - 5 years ago
    Hi Nadine,

    I know that the common belief is that Daniel 9:27 warns of a coming anti-christ. I hope you will consider that the one confirming the "covenant" with many is Christ and not anti-christ.

    This chapter, Daniel 9, is a prayer for the forgiveness of Israel and that prayer is answered when Gabriel is sent to Daniel with a semi detailed timeline of the arrival of the Lord our Savior. Especially Note that Daniel 9:4 states "... O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the COVENANT and mercy to them that love him...". Isn't this he covenant being spoken of in verse 27?

    Daniel 9:25 essentially says that Messiah will appear upon the end of the first 69 weeks. This would coincide with about the time of the beginning of the ministry of Christ.

    Daniel 9:26 says that 'after' 69 weeks Messiah will be cut off. Many people believe that Christ's ministry lasted about 3 1/2 years after which He was crucified.

    Also notice the similarity between Daniel 9:27 "And he shall confirm the covenant with many..." and Mat 26:28 and Mar 14:24 where Christ's Words are very similar while He is having the last supper with His disciples. The word "testament" in these verses can also be translated "covenant".

    Also, for scholars to suggest that satan confirms covenants is little ridiculous and I don't think that the Bible would support that notion.

    I suspect that much of the visions which were given to Daniel are still sealed and will shortly begin to be revealed. I wouldn't put much stock in a "broken seven year covenant between satan and God's 'chosen people'". A belief that is based on an odd reading of Daniel 9:27.

    b. even given that you are able to avoid such sins & remain sinless, the question arises: can a person who has no sin (therefore no sin nature) can, even in temptation's provocation, contemplate whether he chooses to sin or not? I'm certainly not in that position because I know when temptation comes, its appeal is to my sin nature & from there I make the decision with the Spirit's help & word to my heart. But if no sin nature exists (as was also with Jesus), then how can there be a choice to sin or not, as there's no evidential sin in you & nothing for that temptation to take hold of to cause sin?

    For sin to take root there must of necessity be a 'fertile' ground for it to germinate - & in your case (as you say) you only have the new nature given by the Spirit (the old being done away with), & this new nature simply cannot be invaded by all manner of evil. So, as I see it, you don't really have a choice to sin or not - your nature doesn't allow you to have one.

    Truly, a very difficult concept for me to grasp.
  • Chris - In Reply on Revelation 12 - 5 years ago
    Page 1.

    Thanks again David for taking the time to answer me & sharing your testimony. That does answer my question except for my assumption from your earlier comments, that you are 'sin free & as such when temptation comes to you, sin cannot take hold'. However, you've clarified that part: "Temptation still exists, but the power of God gives me the ability to say no and not yield to it. However, if I'd ever decide to yield to temptation, I could if I chose to but at the cost of salvation".

    So you've now raised a couple of questions in my mind. All of us who are born again & indwelt by the Spirit have the power to say "No" to sin's prodding at our heart's door, but in reality no one, so far whom I've met, has been able to testify that no sin has been able to get through to them. But you say that you remain sinless enjoying perpetual victory. So my questions:

    a. an elementary question first off: is the type of sin that you refer to, the same as is generally understood? By this I mean, sin incorporates much more than what most regard as evil (viz. murder, theft, lying, adultery, etc.). The sins of worry, pride, selfishness, lack of (agape) love or forgiveness, anger, frustration, gossip, coveting, unhealthy thoughts, gluttony, hypocrisy, jealousy, egotistic, self-righteous, hidden sins of the mind, & many more are examples. Praise God if you are able to shun all such sins as well.
  • Lionjudah - In Reply on Revelation 12 - 5 years ago
    There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

    2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

    3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

    4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

    5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

    6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

    7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

    8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

    9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

    10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

    11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

    12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

    13For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

    14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

    15For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

    16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

    17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glo

    Hi Adam,

    Firstly, Sorry for the late reply, I thought that I had already replied to you, but it doesn't seem to appear here for some reason, so I'm not sure if you received it. Thank you for your advice on me being baptised, and for all your words of encouragement and I will study the scriptures that you have suggested. I have been on this site many times since I started on my Christian walk, but only recently noticed the prayer request section a few days ago. Everyone on here has been so encouraging and helpful. I just wish that I would have noticed it sooner, as it could have saved me a lot anxiety.

    God bless you & your family

    Kind Regards

    Peace to you in the name of Our Lord. Seek Ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things shall be added unto you . You try to add understanding in your own strength. We are told to lean not on our own understanding. when you follow Our Lord with all of your heart, strength and mind we are given His wisdom to see. The answer to your question is, We all fall short of the Glory of God. There is not one good. Only God. Oir Lord is correct and true when He tells us judge not least Ye be judged. We are all sinners.
