(Saul) who was called Paul by Jesus; was a chosen vessel to preach TO THE GENTILES. That was his turf, although he did travel to meet with Peter.

Acts 9:15. (Red letters)

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

If you will Google the Apostles ministry paths and where they met their deaths; they did quite a lot of traveling.

Paul was sent to the Gentiles. Maps of his ministry travels are awesome considering no public transportation.

I'm an old street minister. GO YE means much more than you've imagined.

"Into all the world" can mean any continent or country. Or it can mean: your neighborhood, your city, your state. It can happen anywhere.

Make it a rule to stand on Public Right Of Way (public sidewalks; not business sidewalks)

Kags is right the Holy Spirit is not the restrainer who leaves earth. Otherwise no one would be saved and no one would preach via the Holy Spirit. The resurrection is at the end of the tribulation for those without itching ears.

Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

We are changed at the LAST TRUMP and where is this found?

In REVELATION, the LAST BOOK of the Bible there are 7 trumps and the 7th trump is the LAST ONE and is at the end of the tribulation. there is not a 7th last trump prior to the tribulation.

there is not a last trump prior to the tribulation. Trump and Trumpet mean the same thing.

By Mishael

2 Thessalonians 2:7, I believe the Restrainer is none other than the Holy Spirit, or we could say the Holy Spirit working through the New Testament Born again church.

Supporting the idea that the Holy Spirit within the church is the Restrainer, is the fact that the restrainer is referenced both as a thing, and as a person, HE.

Also, the power delaying Satan's masterplan, to unveil his false messiah; must be of God. It makes much more sense to say that the Holy Spirit is curbing the devil, than a political entity or even an angel. The Holy Spirit of God is the only Person with sufficient (supernatural) power to do this restraining. He co-created with God and the Word of God, at creation.

Of course, the Spirit works through born again believers to accomplish this. The church, indwelt by the Spirit of God, has always been part of what holds society back from the swelling tide of lawless living.

At some point, Paul says, the Spirit will STEP ASIDE from His restraining work, allowing sin to have dominion over mankind.

Second Thessalonians 2:7 can be literally rendered, "The secret of lawlessness is already working, only it cannot be revealed until HE WHO NOW WITHHOLDS, disappears "from the midst." I believe this "disappearing from the midst" will happen at the time the church leaves the earth at the Caught Up (rapture) in the clouds to Jesus.

The Holy Spirit will still be present in the earth, of course, but He will be taken out of the way in the sense that His unique sin restraining ministry through God's born again people, will be removed.

It's been done before. (see Genesis 6:3).

Morning brethren?Let us always follow the word of God not our thoughts as the book of mathew2says.

We have the New, better covenant through Jesus now.

2 Corinthians Chapter 6:14-16. *****NT

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial (Satan) or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel (someone who does not take care of their family).

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

We're not fighting against "ITES" i.e. Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, etc

This is New Testament and the concern is born again believers being married to, or partying with sinful unbelievers.

That's why our House of Representatives feels safe forcing churches to close for corona virus; but it's ok for bars to open and serve. Who's wrong here? The church or the virus?

God wants us to be born again and saved from the darkening world we live in today.

George, yet 100% accurate.

Some believe it is the Holy Spirit that is the restrainer. But the Holy Spirit has always been here. And He will be here during the tribulation. How else will the 144,000 Jewish believers preach the gospel of the Kingdom during it? And many will believe in that day. The restrainer is the body of Christ ( the church ). God will not pour out His judgement and wrath on His body of believers. It is sad that people think that He will. When He has already showed that He won't with Noah and Lot. Was Lot a righteous man? Yes, because he believed in God. That was his righteousness and that is why God saved him from his judgement on Sodom. Learn from the past

Nowhere. Adam had dominion over everything except other humans.

Chris, the rapture is not Christ coming to the earth. We will meet Him in the air. He does not come down and touch the earth. And the tribulation is the wrath and judgement of God on the earth. Believers are taken away before this cause God will not pour out his wrath of judgement on his body of believers.

Paul told us to comfort one another with these words. How is it comforting to know that we are going to be going thru the judgement of God during the tribulation? That is a contradictory of scripture if you believe that.

John Madden, If the Holy Spirit lives inside of every believer, then how can the Holy Spirit leave to let the antichrist come and do his business? The body of Christ is the restrainer. God will not pour out his wrath on His body of believers. Did he pour out his judgement on Noah? Or on sinful Lot? Nope

It saddens me to see that people think that God is going to pour out His wrath and judgement on his believers. When He has shown us that He won't do that. Think about it

So who is the restrainer that keeps the antichrist from coming right now? Cause the antichrist would have been here all along if it wasn't for the restrainer that God has put on the earth. So who is the restrainer?

This is how I read it as well. The restrainer is the body of Christ. God will not pour out his wrath on his body of believers. Did God pour out his wrath on Lot? Did He pour it out on Noah? No in both cases. Learn from His past judgements.

The apostles did not go to the whole world and preach. Only Paul preached to the gentiles. He is the apostle to the gentiles. The Jews didn't want anything to do with the gentiles. So your answer is very wrong. The tribulation is the 70th week of Danial. No mistaking it

Randy,

1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 talks about the rapture, although it doess not use that word specifically. The words "caught up" refer to Christ coming for his bride (The Church) and snatching us away by force. The dead in Christ will rise first, and then we will be caught up to meet Him in the air. This is referred to as the rapture and I believe it takes place before the Tribulation Period which means before the mark of the beast. The rapture is not Christ's second coming. At His second coming, He comes all the way down to the earth and the church comes with Him. At the rapture, we meet Him in the air.

my bad we can marry from the 12 tribes but not out of it

deuteronomy 7:1-4

Carolyn,

Jesus said it is not meet, that is, it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. Now what if your pastor called you a dog? You know, "Get out of my way you dog!"



But here is what Jesus was referring to:



You see, the Jews considered Gentiles to be dogs. To the Jews, Gentiles were considered "religious dogs." So Jesus is saying it is not right to take the children's food and give it to the dogs.



But look at the piety of this woman in Verse 27: Remember that this Gentile woman was coming to Jesus to help her daughter.



And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.



This is the piety of this woman, her humbleness, her submission. It is not the fact that she wouldn't take no for an answer. She needed help!



But the Lord was putting her in a situation so that it would show her motives. You know, how much do you want help for your daughter?

It was God's Mercy, that he did not turn His back eternally from Adam and Eve, our fore-parents. They by choice like Satan separated themselves in pride. Yet God promised a way out of death eternal by providing grace to obey His way. His Way provided the Grace of Salvation by true faith and repentance thereby giving new life and hope for all children. Born again (with understanding) children provide grace to find the Way and thereby eternal life in Jesus Christ.

I have been searching for over an hour for what will set you free; and your daughter free as well.

Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. Steal your peace, kill your hope and destroy your family. Ephesians 6 will help you later to refuse his attacks upon your memories. We have to fight back Gods way. You are still at ground zero; but God is going to free you.

I've been staring at it for an hour; it's been there all along, these past 20 years for you.

Matthew 5 (click on the link)

You have to forgive him; them; the court; the judge. Only by forgiving do you release God to go to work on your behalf; your daughter also. You pray together. By releasing them: they will be taken before the Advocate, which is Jesus Christ: your attorney. Your forgiveness will start the Prosecution AGAINST them. I trust in Gods court room any day. 1 John 2;1-2

You can ask God to dim your daughters (and her friends) memories.

Once you do this, forgive, every day after, you should experience deliverance and the peace of God that exceeds understanding! I went through this and it took a couple of months to be cleansed in tears. Every time the hate raises it's head (Satan still trying to destroy); forgive again. 70 times 7

I hope you'll get a DVD titled: The Shack.

The Goodness of God and the mercy of Jesus permeates this movie. More tears, more cleansing; but then you will be totally set free and healed in your emotions; your soul.

Those people will be dealt with after you forgive.

Mishael

Sin is what makes us die for as one sins one gets used to sin and is addicted reason we envy,jealous and eventually kill another,oppress another because you have the power to do so;death is not God's intention for us but when we get to know that reality we no longer babes but mature spirit driven knowing the good and bad subconsciously,during this Covid-19 novelty God Jehova wants human beings to know something about His power,not our power.

Where in the bible does it say we must marry our own race?

What does the bible say about the rapture & mark of the beast is it before or after the rapture.

Ask her doctor for a referral to see an Endocrinologist doctor. Diabetics can have hormonal issues.

My mother had wild uncontrolled blood pressure on medication the hospital switched her to. I hounded them to put her back on amlodipine. Finally they did, and her pressure was normal again.

I had to tell her she couldn't smoke anymore. Later her appetite improved and she drank less coffee. Take her for 10 minute walks when it's sunny.

I agree with you as we ask God, in Jesus Name, to extend Grace towards your Mother and heal her from complications of diabetes and improve her quality of life. Thank you for the patience and prayers of her daughter. Give her Your Favor with doctors and tests. We Give no place to the devil and resist his efforts to destroy the family! As it is written, He must Flee NOW, in Jesus Name.

Thank you for the Grace and Mercy of the Lord on this mother. The prayer of faith shall save the sick. Amen.

The pig and the mouse

Scientists study and alter both in their labs. And hide what they do. It's all being done to create a vaccination (a tree of health)

But it's an abomination what they do and want to do to us by making us take these vaccines.

Please explain 1 Corinthians 34 and 35

I think grace from one person to another is still grace unto God; and from God. Both giver and receiver are blessed.

I heard this parable as a new Christian. I didn't really understand at first. I just did it as an act of obedience:

18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

Jesus is THE SOWER (verse 14). He gives the Increase according to the willingness of the heart. There's another scripture that says to give it with cheerfulness.

I know that the money is increased in my life: learning of the Word of God, healing, pizza on my table; prayers answered for my family.

I know satan fights against it because he immediately rushes in to argue about new tires, limping appliances, etc. He doesn't want us to be obedient in anything.

Can anyone explain what this phrase means: "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to the dogs"

But unfortunately to many see the good shepherd as a magic wand... Instead of having faith trust and believe in His word which is the truth they want everything to happen immediately. God's time is always the best time. Louise

What is this the significant for Jesus to have brothers and sisters

Well the tithe was to support the Priest tribe of Levi in the old testament.

Numbers 18:24 But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

It was to support the tribe that did the work of the Lord for the Tabernacle.

TV preachers who claim you must tithe, to them of course, should MUST prove that they are of the tribe of Levi and are worthy to receive the tithe on behalf of the Lord. IF NOT send them nothing. If they are not of Levi then you are not tithing.

Jesus never said anything about losing salvation over tithes and neither did the apostles.

I suggest you ask the wife to show where this is since I can not find this doctrine.

Offerings yes and they were to be given willingly as one felt led.

Should we help the less fortunate or buy Jet fuel for the TV preachers Lear Jet?

Jet fuel is sure expensive as is the upkeep on mansions.
