    I think maybe you think wrong about the word ransom, you can look it up in Webster's Dictionary from 1828. But some things are hard to understand, we need revelation from God. It's good that you're trying to understand, search and you'll find.

    My Comments on Matthew 13 That great parable of the Sower and his Seed which is the multiplication of Christ via his Seed and answers to the Promise that God made to Abraham about Christ being multiplied as the stars of heaven. My mind is set that THIS is the real GOOD NEWS that Christ is gonna multiply his Deity which is the Granson the H.G. N Humanity. the field the world humanity in the hearts of ppl where this super seed is gonna be sown, ya gotta realize the seed is the LIVING WORD the very seed of God, Remember John 1 says the WORD is GOD, Thus Christ is gonna propagate GOD with his Word, this is truly the good news and remember his word is his Breath now that you can understand this you can see the Gransons th STARS of heaven the H.G. PLURAL the Israel of God that is gonna be born in us Sinners ya gota realize the TRINITY is simply FATHER SON AND GRANSON being that the H.G. COMES outa of Jesus seed his words thats y he is saying to whom the word came it made them Gods see which is the very multiplication of God thats y he refers to the H.G. as the PROMISE Jesus cd not refer to the H.G. as the Promise if he were not his offspring the Israel of God,If ya cannot understand Father Son and Grandson how will you understand the nation of Israel.the promise of multiplication was only made to these 3 men, Thats y God told Moses that his name was abraham issac n jacob and my memorial to all generations.God cd not have told Moses this if he were not gonna multiply Jesus just like issac remember issac was offered up just like Christ but Christ actually died. God had an Israel of God in his mind all this time.

  • Tony - In Reply on Galatians 5:20 - 5 years ago
    First off is he a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ?

    Secondly Read Galatians with a spirit of prayer and ask the Lord for decernment. It's not gonna be as easy as looking at a verse and pulling it out of context. Really seek the Lord through prayer and rely on Him for guidance. Cast your cares on Him for He cares for us. It's that deep relationship with Him that matters most.

    Where is the scripture about Jesus preaching salvation to the things in hell?
  • Grace - In Reply on Deuteronomy 6 - 5 years ago
    Here's something new to you and maybe also to some others who strongly hold to one of the three concepts of God: The Lord will not condemn anyone solely on the basis that they had the wrong idea of Him because He has already said his ways and thoughts are higher than that of humans in Isa 55:8-9. So, He knows you struggle with the abstract concept of the Godhead (which should've been the non-inflammatory word used instead of Trinity). Btw, Jesus is the only Way

    Even a Trinity pastor, on YouTube, once described and showed an illustration! of God as the three headed Cerebus of ancient Egyptian religion. It was so ignorant of a certified minister. Now, that in itself is insulting to God and could constitute heresy

    Do you really know the definition of either heresy or rebellion? Definitions are not based on name calling those who disagree with you. (On this particular issue, regrettably the Roman Catholic Church started this childish name calling which they escalated into executing people)

    GOD gave us all free will, within some boundaries. (That is too upsetting to a large section who are actually heretical). To continue, you may believe in a Unitarian God or the hybrid, and others may continue to believe in the Godhead. It is possible that none of these ideas are correct. It is even possible to change one's mind if one is not blinded by bias & dogma to really read scriptures as they are written. (My NIV Study Bible caused me to doubt the Godhead, so my scientific training made me test all those concepts)

    Some church leaders taught wrongly that we simply find verses to support whatever concept or decision we've already prejudged. NO, we don't test the Bible for data. It's the other way around: Scriptures are what must be used to test even one's OWN pet theory ( Rom 12:2, you're supposed to let the words of God transform you - not the other way around). But in another misapplication of scripture: 2Tim 3:16 has become like Samurai swords in the hands of the immature
  • Claire on Isaiah 43:7 - 5 years ago
    Good morning! Good afternoon! Good evening!

    My prayer for you and me.

    Grace and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. That God will fill you with all joy and peace believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

    Be at peace today, please do not upset yourself with the horrors that are taking place in the world. Finally be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with us. Amen

    Something for us to meditate on that is pure and true.

    AND WE KNOW:

    That our Savior is true. Mt 22:16, MK 12:14

    That our Savior sayest and teaches rightly LK 20:21

    That our Savior is a teacher come from God JN 3:2

    And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD. Rom 8:28

  • Jahhousecom admin on John 17 - 5 years ago
    John 17 shows that the unity of God the father with Jesus does not mean that they are the same person. That false doctrine is one of many labeled trinity belief. God the father, son, and the Holy Ghost are separate persons. They are one IN TRUTH, CHARACTER, PURITY, AND LOVE. As Christ prayed for, true believers shall share in this unity in eternity with God and each other.

  • Grace on Genesis 1:14 - 5 years ago
    Hello Orex (from Africa?) the BIRD acronym is interesting. (It is more an acronym than an acrostic, to be pedantic). Was that your original idea, or someone else's? Anyway, birds are fascinating creatures to me

    Noah first used a raven, then a dove to check for any sign of dry land. Pigeons were used in World War 2 as secret message couriers, but canaries have been abused as gas testers by male miners in the 18th and 19th Centuries. Before sundials and clocks were invented, roosters announced the dawn and owls midnight. Although I've heard them in the late afternoons, kookaburras have been nicknamed "the bushman's clock" because they usually cackle at dawn and sunset (reference: Nature Australia, non-profit org). All birds have a role in balancing the ecology of their habitat - despite clashes with pest controllers. Now, what evolutionists ("scientists" who say we believe in a fairytale, while equally believing in one themselves) cannot explain is how so many different animals and plants randomly evolved (meaning magically poofed) into working synergistically as a balanced and complete ecological system before the combustion engine was invented. Wow, they all just happened to one day, against impossible odds, to evolve into a co-operative harmony without intelligent design!

    By the way, I also agree that information (and secrets) are scattered throughout the Bible. I call it a gigantic jig saw puzzle, which cult creators and even many legitimate preachers just cannot see due to pride and or pseudo-intellectualism. That is how they make false doctrines or add to vexatious controversies that detract from the Great Commission and bring shame to the name and people of Christ

    You can google that...

    The Sabbath begins at nightfall on Friday and lasts until nightfall on Saturday. In practical terms the Sabbath starts a few minutes before sunset on Friday and runs until an hour after sunset on Saturday, so it lasts about 25 hours.

  • Sunday Levinus Alaka on Romans 1:17 - 5 years ago
    Romans 1:16-17 is often used as the key verses to summarize the book of Romans. Paul declares boldly why he is not ashamed of the gospel about Jesus that he preaches around the world. This message is nothing less than the power of God for everyone who believes, both Jews and Gentiles. It is about being declared righteous by God because of our faith in Him. Paul put the same idea this way in Philippians 3:8-9: "that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith." This is God's gospel: God's "good news" for humanity. Paul quotes Habakkuk 2:4 to show this is not a new idea: "The righteous shall live by his faith."

    By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

  • God39s child - In Reply on 1 John 1 - 5 years ago
    Yes that is absolutely true. We all fall short of the goodness of God but we are saved by His grace!

    He is GOOD and MERCIFUL and JUST and He will forgive us of our sins because our Father sent His Son to die for us, so His blood will wash us clean.

    "Life is in the blood", I've heard that and thought: of course life is in the blood, because without blood we would die. But today I saw it in a different light. "Life is in The blood", His blood, that cleanses us and washes us clean, but also gives us LIFE! A new and a different kind of life from this earthly world. Spiritually, we have LIFE! Eternal life because we are His!

    But in the Word it also says not to sin willfully. Meaning, if you know right from wrong, take the the right rode. Listen to the Holy Spirit and what He is telling you to do. Always obey your parents. Walk through life with reference to what the Bible says.

    Always check yourself, don't rush things because patience brings peace. Don't ignore the Holy Spirit, if you do, it leads to roads that will make you steer from the ways of the Lord and before you know it, you could be so far off into the world, you start doubting the existence of God, of Jesus, and you could even find yourself going against Him, denying Him, hating Him. And you NEVER want to go there, it's a scary place to be.

    If you know you shouldn't be writing, singing, watching something or dancing a certain way, talking a certain way, wearing certain clothes that will make men or woman lust after you, than don't do it, don't run over the Holy Spirit.

    And of course I am guilty of doing just that. So I know it's a real fight to free from temptation. But a little tip to help you stay away from temptations from Satan: Stay away from anything that would put you in a position where you would face temptations.

    Praise the Lord through anything & everything.

    Love the Lord with all your might, heart, mind and soul, Love Him with an everlasting love...

    Just as He has loved you
  • Honoring the known will of God - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 5 years ago
    I've written on this before. It's in the 1-100 history pages somewhere. I only know what the Lord spoke to me. I don't know much about how Catholics worship. The issue came about because of public hatred towards Catholics. Jesus sent this through the Holy Spirit to teach us.

    When Archangel Gabriel told Mary what was going to happen. Luke 1:48 is a PROPHESY that has been continually performed throughout generations of Catholics mostly.

    Why is this done? Mary is Jesus's mother!

    Jesus wants his mother's name to be blessed.

    Can any of us remember in a Baptist, Charismatic, Assembly of God, Pentecostal, Methodist, Presbyterian, & 10,000 others EVER say what's written in Luke 1:42 ???!!

    No One Does! Every year we give Mary a place in our Christmas manger scenes in the front of our homes because the public tells the Churches that manger scenes at the Churches are illegal now.

    Look at the Christmas programs: people spending big loot to out decorate their neighbors!! Does anyone else hate this?

    This is Jesus's Mom! All cowards should be ashamed: my opinion. My opinion and $1.50 will get me a ride downtown on a bus.

    "All generations shall call me Blessed." Who in the Church world has fulfilled that prophesy? Just this approaching holiday season, may we truly celebrate Jesus and the whole family of God around the globe.

    Eat green popcorn balls and tell our testimonies of when we became Christians.

    Let the kids hear the story of Jesus's birth.

    If we do this I pray that God will turn back the virus, to whom released it on the world.

    I'm really praying that all of us will remember those who are grieving with loss.

    Help us to turn towards God again with our whole heart, kneel and ask for favor against this virus. The Body of Christ can do that.

    Last year I sat down for many days and read all the way from Joshua to Chronicles to find out a mystery. God showed me, that EVERY time the nations repented and turned back to God, he helped them.
  • Andy G van den Berg on Acts 8 - 5 years ago
    Acts 8:22

    The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).

    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 ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

    You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), as mankind follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).

    It is only by revelation of God that you 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) and learn what it means to Repent and how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9). It should also be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).

    LUKE 15:10. LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH

  • Grace QA Moderator - In Reply on Matthew 12:42 - 5 years ago
    I'm quite knowledgeable about Jewish culture, so I'll answer this correctly

    Some non-Jews have only vaguely heard about the word "Sabbath" (called Shabbat in Yiddish) but it is less known that there are a few different types of Sabbaths, such as, what I call, the Soil Sabbath in Leviticus 25. Since you obviously mean the weekly Sabbath, the quick answer is that it is generally from 6p.m. Friday evening to 6p.m. Saturday evening. The long answer involves where on the planet one lives, the season, and/or how strictly a Rabbi defines the timing of sunset

    The fact that no one rushed to answer this before me shows me 2 insights: That some of the regular responders at least have the humility to know that they didn't know, and I see an opportunity to use your question as an original teaching example: that just because the Bible doesn't mention a keyword, or a phrase, or the details, or it's own doctrine, the ancient Jews from the time of Moses were very smart to figure it out from Genesis chapter one

    Too bad white culture Bible Colleges and seminaries don't teach logic, reading comprehension, and analytical thinking skills because apostasy and unnecessary controversies such as the centuries old Trinity, the Rapture, and the fable about Genesis Six's sexual "angels" continue as proofs that most pastors, ministers and priests have failed in their teachings and duty-of-care responsibility charged by God. Furthermore, they are too afraid to question and investigate the fake additions to the New Testament that has been wrongly attributed to Saint Paul, such as the supposed dogma that 'women are inferior and unable to teach'
  • Adam - In Reply on Matthew 24:9 - 5 years ago
    Dear Flossy, thanks for what you shared. You belong here.

    >You can't help someone drowning if you are drowning also.

    >You can't be sick and help another sick person.

    Have you ever challenged these thoughts you wrote? Where does this belief come from? Everyone is a work of progress. We're all imperfect. We all are on a journey. We all can grow and CAN change if we try. We can learn to love ourselves more, to give ourselves a break and to give others a break. We can show compassion to anyone. It doesn't take any special qualifications to help others. It doesn't even require arms, legs, the ability to speak. For example, most have the ability to smile and show appreciation to another. To pay a compliment. To show you care. Have you seen the YouTube video of the man with no arms, legs who became a motivational speaker?

    I know the quoted statements above are not true, because my mentor suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts throughout his life. Thank God he did not believe what you said, because he helped save my life. And not just me, he's been an inspiration to so many people- more than he even realizes. But yes, he has a thorn in his flesh 2 Corinthians 12:6-7 just like Paul from the Bible did. Have you ever noticed that God has a special liking for disadvantaged people? Moses had a speaking impediment and yet God asked him to be the leader of possibly over a million Israelites. Etc. The reality is even the people you can't see flaws on, have big flaws they are aware of. We do have a choice of what we do with our gifts and abilities though.

    I would challenge you to start using your gifts to help others. You will in turn feel great about doing it. It may be a challenge during this temporary pandemic, but there are other ways to show acts of kindness to others and do things to ease someone else's burden. Have you considered praying for some of the many needs on this website who share their prayer requests?

    God is a great designer and he loves you even if you don't know it yet. You're here for a reason.

    How do you explain "a soft answer"
  • Orex Job Kombea on Genesis 1 - 5 years ago
    Dear Author,



    Greetings in the name of almighty Jesus. 'Praise God', Amen!

    My name is Orex Job Kombea, a Christian fellow.

    I am bit clinked and alarmed in the points that you put out from the Book of Genesis. I have few ideas and conceptions.

    "The Biological perspectives are impacted for the Biblical purposes as a whole world.The Book of Genesis may not only the avenue that soughts the knowledge on

    the Biological Sciences in the Bible. But there are other books that sought the references how God designed and created the Biological world which mankind may uncover that seems the mystery.

    The book of Isaiah 28:10 quotes; "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little". Which implies that the Biblical Science quotes are not that aligned into the analytical sequence so that mankind may identify them into the quick and easy paces. They are scattered all over in the book of Bible into both the Old and the New Testaments. Therefore, we'll have to seek them bit by bit and discover them, and literally analyse them into a whole reference that will become a whole approached knowledge.

    Into such a concept the Biological perspectives are impacted for the Biblical purposes. Romans 8:28. "And we know that in all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose" .



    For instance, What is the purpose of the animal 'BIRD'? Since every creation is created and made for purposes it got its name: acrostically we define it. "Best Informer Resource Daily". Birds' devine purpose is to inform mankind for daily time telling globally.

    Note: every creation got its name for its purposes. Therefore the name that each creation got is power and life for purpose. Like the name 'JESUS', " Jehovah Saves Us". Sarah and Abraham changed their names and they experienced the blessing, 'son Isaac'. Name is purpose.

    I be contacted for further!

    Thank you.....

    This testimony has so blessed my heart! We never know what happens with the seed that we sow. We just pray that the Lord would rain on it and bring in the harvest. To this day I still pray people I prayed with 35 years ago, are still in Jesus.

    The Holy Spirit is all over me right now; I will say thank you and will see you tomorrow, blessed Brother.
