You can find many scripture of wisdom in Proverbs and Psalms.

Actually the Bible was somewhat downsized. Not all Books were canonized into it.

Romans is one of my favorites. I like that dilemma Paul was having in chapter 7: the "I" chapter. I used to know how many times he said it. You count for me.

Jesus surrendered his power when he came to Earth as the Son of Man. He did miracles by the power God.

Jesus had not released the Holy Spirit on earth till after he had returned to Heaven.

I suggest DATING. That is when you really get to know what that person likes; what they do with their time; money; how they honor their parents;

Do they own a Bible? Do you see them read it? If you say we need to conserve moneydo they do it? Has any of her ex's stalked her; threatened her?

You need to date till you've answered many of these questions.

Read 1 Corinthians 7, the marriage chapter. If your Bible has center of each page columns, read those references too.

Certainly read 1 Corinthians 13

Selah means, pause, and think on these things.

By Love in Christ Jesus, the precious Lamb of God!

I've read in a book on Prophesies ( they're out there. Buy one)

That America/United States is called in prophesy: Islands in the Sea. That's because the continents are surrounded by water. Also, Britain, Scotland, Australia and others.

Here are the scriptures:

Isaiah 11:11

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

Isaiah 13:22

And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

Isaiah 41:1

Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.

Isaiah 42:12

Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

Isaiah 42:15

I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

Isaiah 59:18

According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.

Jeremiah 50:39

Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.

America is not without sin. Plenty of people describe it as the new whore of Babylon.

Have we not seen people who murder, shoot up synagogues, set them on fire: rain hatred on them sunup to past midnight?

How many churched people have come in here recently, saying, despite going to church regular, they barely know anything about scripture or prophesy? Quite a bit.

America because of Church and State mostly being kept separate thereby allowing citizenship separate from baptism has been a resting place for the Bride for times. The beautiful time and place where children could be raised to understand the call of the Lord in due time to His repentance and peace and then be properly baptized into the Bride. It seems that the wait for the return for the Lord has become to lengthy for many professing Christians. Non- resistance teachings have been buried in the coming together of Church and State in politics and then the promoting a future reign of Christ on earth instead of an in earth reign of Christ, which is now. The Bride will only keep herself unto Him in faithfulness no matter the world events natural or man-made.

"You know you are"...lol...You are not correct...You know (nothing)...

Sometimes in today's world I become afraid that I won't be able to make it through the ugliness . Is the tribulation happening now? Will Christians have to endure the first 3 1/2 years or is Jesus coming before or after ?

Hello Dannette. What in vs 26 caught your eye? What got your attention?

Hi Chris - Really appreciate your response. If I'd only clicked on the link below the photo in the Wiki article in the first place, it would have led me to the source. It appears the passage in question originates from the 1609 old testament translation of the Latin Vulgate into English by scholars at the Catholic Seminary English College in Douai, France. The Latin Vulgate version was commissioned by Pope Damasus in 382 and a direct translation from the Hebrew Tanakh. Thus, the book of Ecclesiasticus from which the Saint Mary Cathedral quote sprang is much closer to the text in the Hebrew bible. If one compares the King James version of the bible with the Douay-Rheims edition, it can be quite revelatory. Again, thank you for your informative reply.

Listen to some Charles Capps too: Authority of the believer. We have to know we have authority over demons.

Every time they start to manifest; if you're not alone get in the parked car and start binding by using their names. Speak out your authority. Mention the holy blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

There's a demon that masquerades using Jesus's name. I'll try to find that list of demon names in the Bible.

I don't know if many doctors would have knowledge of this. You can make calls and try to find a deliverance minister affiliated through a church.

Explain Luke 7:26 to me?

To Ted Duke on Acts 12:4. Herod placed Peter in chains until after Easter, because Herod had to give homage to the queen of heaven , or rather goddess of fertility during "Easter". With that said, I pray you'll do your research Ted Duke where you'll find the true meaning behind the Easter celebration. It has nothing to do with the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Those Easter eggs and rabbits are in honor of the goddess of fertility Ted. Much of Christianity has been "hood winked" by practicing Easter with its pagan practices.

Phil, I had to do a little research on that. The best I could come up with is that the verse you've given is found in the Sirach chapter 4 in the Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA).

However, this Book Sirach has also been identified with the Apocryphal Book, Ecclesiasticus, the Wisdom of Sirach. But when I looked for this verse in Ecclesiasticus, there was nothing, so my guess that the verse in question only appears in certain 'publications' (e.g. Douay-Rheims) & those that the RCs subscribe to.

GOD is talking in Matthew 12:39-40 read it please. Jonah 1:17 read it please?There is no way any one could claim he was in the Grave on Friday?72 hours is still 72 hours!GOD said Himself to everyone in the Belly of the Earth 3 days and 3 Nights.Okay GOD Can't lie ever.Or the Cross is worthless for us.Plus Mary came at 5-6 Am on Sunday to Grave and GOD is Risen.Okay great.It is proven already true.So go back 72 Hours?What day is it?6-9 at night.Then 72 hours to Sunday say 1 minute into it.Say 4:39 4:49 Am.Go back 72 hours?Okay what day is it?It sure isn't Friday.Remember GOD can't Lie! Matthew 12:39,40 GOD talking! Do you believe GOD or Man???Wednesday Night 6-9 Pm.Plus Remember there was Two Sabbaths that week of the Cross.Apparently forgot to look it up and Study the truth?The Truth will set us all Free! Who is Truth? GOD= Lord Jesus Christ!

I personally believe the virus is real, but that there's a gross overreaction. It's a disproportionate reaction to the threat. Other communicable diseases that killed more in the past were mostly ignored by the media in comparison to this. They were also ignored by governors. I think there are political reasons for the media to play it up so much and believe they are mostly pushing lies and political propaganda.

If people genuinely cared about saving lives and the well being of citizens then number 1 would be immediately stop murdering babies. Today 3,500 babies were legally murdered in the US. What about their right to choose, their rights to grow up, to love, and be loved. What about the loving parents who could have adopted them, but instead they butchered them. It's many times worse than the holocaust and no one seems to care.

Also, smoking kills up to half a million people in the US every year and no one seems to care. Drugs and alcohol kill even more. If someone calls the Wuhan virus a pandemic, then that is absolutely nothing compared to the real threats and top causes of death. Obesity is another one. 2/3 of Americans overweight and its an epidemic and out of control. Huge number of deaths from it, like heart disease, cancer, etc. But I don't see cultural change over that either. These 3 things mentioned are significantly more life threatening than the virus from china.

How have you determined that this Virus is a fake? It's good & valuable when someone shares something that they have learned, but it has to be authenticated. If on spiritual matters, then we need to find evidence in God's Word; if on earthly matters, then we need evidence here also.

In the legal system, as with God's system, evidence has to be given to prove the guilt (or, innocence) of that person. If there's no evidence, the case is thrown out of court. If I can prove to God that I'm without sin, then God can't charge me for it & has to punish me. But I've tried, but everywhere I look inside me, I find that God is right about my sinful condition.

So, if you believe that the evidence shown about the Virus' existence is all made up, then what is your evidence to disprove that? I mean, you could be right in your declaration, but proof is required.

Thank you Mishael for your advice .

I used to listen to Derek Prince a few years ago , very calm personality

with power in his words.

You have confirmed what i have always thinks about schizophrenia " there's indeed a demon behind it "

I therefore make my believe known to the healthcare here in Paris they think I myself may needs help.

I do read the Bible a lot , it so strange i realised that I'm forgetting all that i read , most times as soon as i start praying

I started yawning and tattering can't find my words .

Something seems very wrong to me.

I am now listening to Derek.

Have a Blessed night.

I think that Gail is referring to the Eagle (& not the serpent) when alluding it to America.

Where in the Bible is America mentioned as a serpent

Thank you very much for the invitation :). Best wishes.

PS: How are you? I am from France :)

If America, and I'm not saying I disagree or agree....then why is America called a serpent? Why does GOD call America a "serpent". In the Bible, the term "serpent" is never used to mean "good" as in helping Israel but the opposite "bad". Did you forget the "serpent" suduced/tricked Eve?

Lord I agree in Jesus holy name.

How did do mircles

That's how much God loves us. He sent his only begotten son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to pay for our sins then raised him from the dead so we can live forever by trusting in him. The Bible tells us about how we got in the sorry state we are in and about how God cares enough to rescue us.

Much of the Bible is history to teach us by example what displeases God. The Bible also teaches us how great God is and how wonderful he is. Many stories show God's faithfulness to take care of his people and deliver them from danger. He teaches us how to live wisely and to care for one another. There are so many amazing prophecies and promises, some already happened, some yet to come.

The many pages should not scare us off from studying the Bible, because we can only read a little at a time. But if we keep at it, day by day, eventually we will read it all and grow in faith and really get to know God. It is so rich in truth and knowledge that we gain treasure in our souls by loving it and reading it over and over. ...that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. ( 1 John 5:13)

yOU: The Anti-Christ proponents say that the verse speaks of the Anti-Christ in position for 7 years, first coming as a peace-maker (confirming the covenant he makes to this end). In the midst of the week (3 years), he breaks that covenant, stopping all Jewish worship & his position on the 'throne' desecrates & makes the Temple an abomination.

ME: But none of that is in the actual verse. it is being read into the verse. that is what a presupposition is.

YOU: I agree that it is Jesus that is spoken about in vv 24,25. But when you look at the 'weeks' of years given in vv 24-27, we see that Jesus was already crucified (v 26) & Jerusalem destroyed by Titus in AD 70 (69 weeks). Then in v 27 "he confirms the covenant for 1 week (the remaining week from the 70 weeks)". How do you understand this in the light that Jesus was already crucified at the 62nd week?"

ME: 49 YEARS WERE ALREADY FULFILLED BEFORE THE next 62 were mentioned so that brings it to 69 weeks and then we have the AFTER in verse 26. Reread the passage.

Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks (483 years upto Jesus' baptism in Jordan- His anointing) : the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times (the first 49 years or 7 weeks). + [plus]

Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeshall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the

the destruction of the temple happened 40 years after the 486 1/2 to 490 years were already fulfilled. I call that The Stay of Execution before God the Father brought judgment on Jerusalem FULFILLING mATTHEW CHAPTERS 20, 21, 22, AND 23. Remember Jesus saying to forgive 70 x 7=490. 490 years came to a close which an extra 40 years would have been extra grace.

I have a complicated question. My girlfriend was once married to a man, but they are now divorced. However, he already have a wife before her. She was forced married by her parent to be the second wife against her will. After married, she was abused and her ex-husband slept with other women. Eventually, he got caught abusing her and was put to jail. They both file for divorce. Now she's my girlfriend. I want to marry her but it's difficult. I understand that if a man divorces his wife makes him commit adultery and when he remarried. She was forced into a marriage and paid the price for it. Is she still bound to him for being the second wife? The first wife did not divorce with him. Also, will this still be considered committing adultery even though she was forced to be second wife? Am i considered someone who committed adultery? Can I marry her?

I strongly disagree with the comment Shaarei made on the subject of salvation looking at Acts 1;.

1. When the statement "Born of water" is made, it is in no way talking about salvation.

Being born of water is the evidence that humans come from "Flesh" and are born of the "Flesh".

Even Jesus was born of water because He was "Born of Flesh" while being in Mary's womb.

Nither was or is the "Holy Spirit Flesh" The Holy Spirit was sent by God to convict the Flesh (humans)

of their sins.

The only way a person can be "saved", or, be "Born again" is by the Holy Spirit of God, nothing more, nor, nothing less.

You can be baptized until the Bull frogs kroke but until you put your complete Faith and Trust in Jesus and Jesus only,

you cannot enter the kingdom of God's Heaven. (Read Romans 10:9-13) Nowhere is the spirit of the flesh nor of baptism mentioned in the plan of "Salvation"! Jesus and only Jesus, NO other WAY. I strongly suggest that she, Shaarei

go through the plan of salvation in a King James Bible and seek the truth in prayer. God Bless

Dear Brother,

Thank you so much for your painstaking moments to reply to my need. I am then sure our Yahusha rise from the grave some time during Sabbath, as He is Lord over the Sabbath.

Warm regards

Herman Dcouto

Read this day and asking the Lord to send His Spirit and that believer's hearts would be open to the revived Life of Christ to work in and through them.
