On MARK 13:22

The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and not for any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). If it records in Rev. 12:9 that this whole world has been deceived it did not speak of a particular country, group of people, person or religion, it meant the whole world.

For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' how and by whom ( 2 Cor. 11:13-15) this whole world has been deceived and what mankind must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

Only through Repentance will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1) and reveal to you how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9)..

The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).



For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17).

It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1), and only then will you be able to overcome the spirit of this world ( 1 John 5:4; Rev. 3:21). It should be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).

I will buy a microscope for you so you can examine which color DUST is. That's what God used to make man.

Or ask a geologist.

ALL colors are in dust. If you don't see it for yourself; then we'll always feel angry.

I asked God why He created all this strife about color. He said we did that. He likes colors. He told Adam the rules about dominion.

(at the encouragement of a very bad devil) MAN decided to have DOMINION over other people who were different colors and STATUS. Go read about Nimrod in Genesis.

In His Mercy, God created languages. People moved away and built cities so they'd only have to listen to their own language. I think that's wonderful. Look at all the culture, cuisines, art, architecture, and customs we have as a result.

Because of the sin nature and a Devil who can only create CHAOS (one of his names), people still fight to be supreme.

My parents couldn't afford college for 5 kids, so I kicked my own rear to the library and textbooks resales; and made myself learn what they teach in the college. It's called ambition. Anyone can do that! I NEVER read romance novels, sci-fi or fiction. I love learning new stuff. That's how I know about the color of DUST.

What is motivation? What drives you? Who is driving? The God who created all we see and know? Or the Devil who only creates resentment, jealousy, anger, violence, etc.

I thank God the Father that He is Spirit! The Holy Spirit is Spirit. The Bible has said that from the Beginning. So no one has to run out and start a new religion with a god of Color. SATAN used to be beautiful, but He isn't now! The Bible says when we see him we're all going to say: "I was scared of THAT ?!?"

I'm going to be Caught UP to Jesus and live in a place where I'll never have to hear people speak racism, or hate others for the brand of their running shoes; BA's, MA's, PHD's. Joy Unspeakable!

Mishael

Angels can not reproduce. They have no sex organs.

Very well put.

In reply to Chris and Jesse

1st that was a beautiful explanation of God's sealing and promise.

2nd How do you explain the numerous scriptures that warn against false prophets and the very elect being deceived?

3rd How do you explain "free will" and the scriptures explaining "Lord, I have done your will", and His response of "I know you not"?

4th How do you explain Misheal's pastor?

5th Personally, I have witnessed many "saved" people renounce God, stop attending church, become followers of sciencetology, atheists, addicts, pursuing the world or the traditions of men. Also, I have seen many start to follow false religions and refute what they previously believed.

I am not attempting to be argumentive or disrespectful. I ask purely for edification.

God Bless you both and may your journey with the Holy Spirit be fruitful and rewarding.

Deuteronomy 23:2

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.

What can I do for my 3 children that where born out of wedlock?

3;3 God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."

They did die. Every one dies because of that. They didnt die the minute they ate the fruit but later.

Jesus is the only one to go to heaven as of now. By the way Jesus also went to Hell to preach to those that was there. I guess to give all a second chance.

Its not. Many countries has tried to rule the whole world (like Rome and others) but none has ruled the whole world.

God don't sleep or get tired. He is always watching. He knows everything.

Scroll downward, this screen; to the 1-100 history pages of past months. Good reading, good teaching

No book in the bible called angels. BUT you will find angels through out the bible.

They went to paradise, not heaven. Paradise is where we all go to be judged and then if we are worthy we then go to heaven. Remember, sometimes when it says heaven it means sky. Sometimes it talks about the second or third heaven.

God told Moses to speak to the rock but moses must not have believed so therefore Moses struck the rock. Water still came out but for disobident Moses was not allowed to enter the promise land.

Are you telling me that there will not be any animals in heaven? I believe there will be. animals did'nt sin. I want all my animals that I had to be there.

I am to be 88 years old this September 4 and saw the light in my 70s. I am growing and learning more every day. I often will read God's word and see things I did not see in times past when I read the same verse. Noticing "creature" used rather than man was curious to me. I had an idea that it was probably similar to what you first replied but I do know that it did not mean all animals. I would think it would be more practical to think other human like creatures we are not aware of yet rather than other animals from this earth. I DO know it is the truth, whatever the explanation. If God wants me to know, he will tell me !! Take Daniel 3:25 for instance----how did Nebuchadnezzar know what Jesus looks/ looked like when he told his subjects he saw the 4 men cavorting about in the furnace like they were on an afternoon walk and one of them looked like The Son of God even though they had put only 3 into the furnace. God bless you and give you an abundance of wisdom and knowledge.

I have bought a used car from out of state, having seen only pictures and the written description by the dealership. Does this verse apply in that I should undo the purchase now in the first few days and not let it stand, perhaps only to find the car a bad purchase, and faulty.

I was touched by what Lisa wrote sincerely.

Please capitalize God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit with capital letters, for the reason that is a name above all others.

Be mightily blessed. The Lord hears your heart. Amen

Wow! Thanks So Much Am Glad To Be Here Among People of God.

Have you found it? (the narrow way)? What is it?

Why does a thread become locked?

Many comments are very good and reading the different perceptions/interpretations of God's word helps me to understand. Also, I find many times I never considered the scripture from that angle.

It is very difficult to look at or consider perceptions when you have never experienced it. (ie. I was born American in a free country with lots of freedom to express ideas or concepts). For me, it is difficult to understand living under a king or dictator. Also suffering and tribulations that exist around the world and in the past. I hope that statement does not offend anyone.

This site is very good and useful. Having that said, I wish they would allow you to view a particular topic/thread better. Most of the time comments are locked.

I study the Bible and the comments for edification and to progress from being a babe unto meat as the apostle Paul instructs us to.

Before Paul's message concerning communion, was Jesus's message on Communion;

Which is where Paul passed on that message to the Gentiles. (We being grafted in). It's not pagan if Jesus instituted it.

Luke 22

15. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: THIS DO in remembrance of me.

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Ok, it was supposed to be struck instead of stuck? That is what I was confused about also. Thank you, Carleton and God bless you.

Is the breath of life from God not spirit?

Wouldn't every breathing thing, created by God, therefore contain spirit?

Did God not create all of the animals?

A man can study the Bible his entire life and will claim he knows everything about it. The reason a man studies the Bible his entire life is to TRY to better understand it. NO MAN KNOWS THE FULL WORKS AND WONDERS OF GOD OR HIS CREATION.

Saying "no it is a metaphor" is an opinion from personal understanding.

Use scripture. Not someone else's opinion.

Amen two agree Matt 18:19 ALLELUIA, thanks Holy *FATHER* of our *LORD JESUS*! Philippians 1:9 to 12 kjv is a great daily prayer too. Dont you just love 1 John 5:14,15,16 assurance, and Jude 20 our hiding and strengthening place. *G* B U.

That's what I was thinking. I appreciate your explanation.

ALLELUIA AMEN, thanks Holy *FATHER* for the dear-ones testimony. Grant a Prayerful tender heart where Isaiah 49:24,25 KJV will help bring forth much fruit. The *LORD JESUS* be magnified, and Jude 20 the often refuge and rest.

Amen and beware that the WORD perform in Philippians 1:6 KJV : being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform until the day of *Jesus Christ*: Most other trans replace perform with the word - complete- which we know is not true as only a remnant is saved finally. *G* B U.

Of course we know: As for *GOD* *HIS* way and work is perfect but unrepentant disobedience wont enter Heaven.

Most receive the grace of *GOD*in vain. The sower went forth to sow. AND, we all have read that only the good Jude 20 (teachable = meekness) ground brought forth fruit. Even Moses gave over to frustration, striking the ROCK Numbers 20;10:13, but later appeared in the Transfiguration right. So must have repented as David and received those sure mercies promised the repentant. If we repent da,da,dah. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we Confess and forsake shall have mercy, but he who is often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be cut off, and that without remedy. Ask for a tender heart. Matt 7:11 and Luke 11:13, any of Rev 1:4, 3:1, 4;5, 5:6 attributes of the Holy *GHOST* *HIMSELF* if needs be.

There is a lot to think about when Moses struck the rock a second time. Our first strike is to know Jesus and His ever flowing stream of love and peace, yet so soon after, we forget who we really are and how we were led out of our own darkness and washed by the sea of blood, we want to command Jesus with another strike to prove our righteousness (bitter water). If we want to cross the Jordan into the promised land, we must remain humble and be led only by the Holy Spirit sent by Jesus to the washed and made clean heart.
