This Psalm was laid on my heart. It is so comforting to know that God does not " Remember " our sins once

we are forgiven. The one who remembers our past sins and transgressions is Satan. We are not his children

so what God says is what count. We do not have to ask for forgiveness for the same sin over and over, unless

we are committing that Sin again. We must remember that God will not strive with us and He is not to be

played with. I love God because I am his child , forgiven and my name is written in the Book of Life.

What is the meaning of Luke 14:26. very disturbing is this Jesus says, I don't think so.

why someone put this in the bible make no sense to me.

Exodus 32:27 Does anyone else find it interesting that moses commanded people to be slain? Isnt that murder? And what of afterward in Exodus 32:30 Exodus 32:32 and Exodus 32:33 . Here moses says Ye have sinned a great sin and now i will go up unto the lord peradventure i shall make an atonement for your sin. And 32:33 states that the lord would blot out those whom sinned against him...... What of THALL SHALL NOT KILL? Things arent adding up here for me.... iso any insight . Stephen

1. Thanks for that. Many have been saying once a christian and that's it. As you rightly said, end time event is not salvation. You receive salvation when you become born again and grace is imparted into you. But at the seat of judgement, you need mercy. The grace given to you at salvation is to overcome sin and do what you are assigned to do. You will give account of the use of the grace; what you used the grace for: Romans 2:5-7 "5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:"

At the judgement seat, you need mercy. And mercy is at the discretion of the Lord.

2. The issue of two men on the same bed is not in support of homosexuality. Rather, it is an assumption by those who conclude on the perversion. Being in the same bed together is not to mean they were sexually cordial. It is a family thing. And it does not mean they are both men; the word "men" could be used as unisex to mean a species. Thank you again

The Jews are not the church. If they are saved, they are a part of the church. The church is made up of all the saved no matter what nation they are from.

Sabboth is Saturday.

The men were probably huddled around a campfire to keep warm. Anyone who camps out under the stars knows that. Let's not fix this scripture to an issue of homosexuality, ok?

Grinding: they were grinding grain into a flour to bake with. You can easily say 2 women are standing side by side. The believer in Jesus will be caught up in the clouds; the unbeliever will not.

We read the Bible every day so our minds can be renewed on the Holiness and Purity of Jesus: who is the Word of God, in the flesh.

This website has a Commentary that is accessed through the blank Search Box.

I go there often to read what it says.

You can read Commentaries through GOOGLE also.

Hello, some threads more than 1 month old are locked to encourage new threads to be started instead of continuing old ones. May God bless you.

It will be easier for you to Google this question. As you guessed it's a tedious answer; because people are involved.

I'm here to view and make comment on scripture. I enjoy it. It's not a job.

Back on the red Link Page, there are some explanation of the KJV Bible.

No. John ate the bug. I ate snails in France. Taste like chicken, but a little chewy.

Hello Jackie,

Here is the section from the book of John where Jesus ended up staying with the Samaritans for 2 days after speaking with the woman at the well..

John 4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

4:40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;

4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

4:43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

I was mainly curious to see if others had seen this story of these Samaritans believing on the Lord Jesus Christ prior to his death and resurrection and prior to anyone believing it was not yet time for the Gentiles to receive the message...

Hello Jackie, Thank you for your response... It finally showed up, so it must have been entered after i received the email saying you had responded... Please see the other comment I made in response to yours... Lynn :)

I had an email saying Jackie had responded to my question with this response...

"They preach the Kingdom of God to the Jews 1st And they've rejected it And after that Samaritan's and the gentiles were invited in"

However, for some reason, I am not able to bring up the response...

The reason I asked the question was to see if anyone knew the real story that began with the woman at the well and how Jesus ended up going and staying with the Samaritans for 2 days and they all ended up believing on him as the Christ, the Messiah... so there was no need for the disciples to go to Samaria for they all knew who the Christ was...The thing is, this was all prior to Jesus's death and resurrection, even though we do know that he had said originally he was sent only unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel...I have never talked with anyone that seems to know this story about the Samaritans, that was a continuation of the story of the woman at the well... :)

They preach the Kingdom of God to the Jews 1st And they've rejected it And after that Samaritan's and the gentiles were invited in

Does anyone else worry about the United States as a country?

I don't wish to be negative, because just like Phil 4:8 says we should be positive. But I think we should also keep our eyes open, be on guard, and wear the armor of God. Matthew 25:13. The Bible talks about the rampant evil of Sodom and Gomorrah and the violence, the lust, the unnatural sexual relations, and probably any sin imaginable being committed 24/7. And when I think of the US I see the same thing occurring. The trend is the mainstream culture embracing the same evil. Anything and everything evil is deemed 'good' to them and 'progressive' and 'empowering'. We are now seeing open terrorism and violence in many of our cities which is allowed by the corrupt mayors. We see DAs bought out by donors and told to release all criminals. We have states releasing much of their criminals from prison back into our neighborhoods to commit more oppression on innocents. We see open rejecting of God and Christianity, even persecuting Christians in public. We see open homosexuality and giving them special privileges beyond anyone else. We see false gods being elevated that part of culture seems to worship. We see media pushing propaganda and lies to deceive people into falsely assuming things and hating each other. We see people preferring lies over truth and disagreeing on what reality even is just like Romans 1:25.

Where will it end? Is God preparing to severely punish the country for its evil? Will it tear itself apart and fall just like other big countries in the past? Is this a sign of the end times?

Do you know why Jesus told his disciples to not go into any city of the Samaritans?

Apparently Jonah did not want to even warn the people of Ninevah. He wanted them to be destroyed. Perhaps they were doing things so detestable, so disgusting and revolting when the Lord told him to go preach to them he went the other way. You know the story, Jonah did preach to the people and from the King on down they believed and repented and the Lord withheld his judgment. Jonah on the other had was angry, because he wanted them to die. You see the Lords response to Jonah's attitude. This should give all people hope, our Lord loves mankind and is rich in mercy, we all have a chance. If we repent and believe.

Back in the day when you could not go to the grocery store to get your cereal people made their own flour by grinding the grains into flour. Two women grinding together is what that verse is referring to. The two men in bed, back in the day and most third world countries there is one room where people sleep. Very common for families to be sleeping in one large bedded area. Hence to men in bed together.

If I could interject something. The reason why certain books were left out for instance: the new Testament. The only scripture allowed was letters written by people who actually walked with Christ such as the disciples. Paul is the exception because he was the one converted by Christ himself. Paul also saw heaven although he was too humble to even discuss what he saw, or brag about it. Not like people today who claim they have been there and write books and go on speaking tours. If they could not actually confirm the period it was written, or that this person actually was with Jesus, they did not allow it to become part of the "Canon" This way, the Bible would be kept pure from false doctrine. Interesting to note, Paul's writings actually make up about half of the New Testament.

That is a different question then. You would need to research the origins of the Bible and the Bible canon. Even biased wikipedia articles can shed light on this and give a general overview. You then asked why books were 'left out'. The question could be phrased as why Catholics added books. You could also research the dead sea scrolls. Also research the apocrypha. Link

to chris,(2 months ago) in reply to Matthew 11:28 thank you, one of the most clearer explanations I have heard, especially with the reinforcement of St Pauls which makes it even more clear and so beautifully reinforces the true message of Jesus. For all of you and for those of us who still are looking for the answers: Jesus's message in Matthew 11:28 is the answer.

Looks like you're talking about Luke 17:34-35. This is Jesus talking about an event many call the rapture where people are taken away- possibly to paradise or to maybe be judged first. I personally do not know how this coincides with Jesus meeting His followers in the air 1 Thessalonians 4:17. I don't believe the end times events is a salvation issue so I don't have a particular opinion on it. As for the women grinding, I think these are women working in a mill. As for the men, I think they were sleeping in a bed. I don't believe this implies any kind of homosexuality as it's not uncommon for people to stay in people's houses and share a bed or whatever limited resources they had.

Fasting actually has many health benefits. Your body will enter into ketosis that will in a way purify your body and rid it of toxins and will also burn away fat. It also sharpens the mind. People forget this when they're used to having food in their stomach all the time, but when you go without for a couple days you will find extra mental clarity and sharpness. Conventional wisdom only a decade or more ago claimed the opposite, but experts have recently realized the many benefits.

I think all KJVs in print and on the web today had a big revision in 1769 and a minor one around 1900s. People ask why and what the rationale was and there are books on that you can buy for every single letter, hyphen, punctuation, capitalization change. It didn't change the translation or meaning of course, but needed change to keep up with changing English language as it changed substantially from 1611 to present.

AMEN!!! My prayer for you is that you will be strengthened through God's word and prayer.

Either He dose it or not" He is still God.

Please the almighty God is capital'G' god of the world is small'g'. Well our God desire that title like any official name has capitalize. May God be with you. Mireille Newman.
