I need help understanding Moses ten commandments and what the point is behind each commandment. Cause some of them seem ridiculously difficult to obey in my life. For instance, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

So I was considering this commandment with all seriousness and I even got rid of my teddy bear which i really love man and is actually super expensive. I threw it in the trash. But then i realized there are even more things in my apartment that are likenesses of things that are in the earth beneath. My cans of beans have likenesses of stuff that's in the earth beneath. I mean beans are in the earth right? My box of peaches have likenesses of peaches. Don't the milk cartons have likenesses of cows? I mean. It makes me want to say G*d damn. Seriously. What the hell? My freaking oats have images of quakers man. This stuff is stressing me out and I'm wondering if there's any point to my worship of the Lord if I don't even keep his commandments.

It is also written in the word that All things are lawful but all things edify not. Did i just throw out my teddy bear for nothing?

Desperately clinging to the Faith.

There is a false video coming to some people's Messenger accounts. It claims that the Bible has been supernaturally changed. It has not. The video was apparently done by people who are not familiar with the Bible, seeking to weaken the faith of those who are not familiar with the Bible. One of the words that this video questioned was the appearance of the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz in the King James Version of the Bible. That is quite true. However, on this page we see who is doing the changing. For some unknown reason the hyphens have been removed from the name! The hyphens do no harm. They should never have been removed. I would find and fire the person who made that change!

sounds like celebrities right now!

I read Psalms to my 7 yr old Grandson and he loves it! He loves it more than other children's books. Especially when he's going to sleep. He also asks me questions about it as we read along.

I do this to lay a foundation of love for Gods Word in his heart. A little seed that will stay there until the "forest fires" of life come.

Did you know some trees in the forest drop their seeds; and they lay dormant till the fires come. Then they open in the heat and begin to grow a new tree after the fire? It just shows me that God loves and makes provision to us in a million wondrous ways!

Turn off Mickey Mouse and Read Psalms to your children.

Tell the stories that have survived the passage of time, while we wait for our Lord to return.

You are so blessed to find this miracle.

I love movie: The Shack: there's a scene where God and this man he's helping are hiking through a forest. God shows him that he needs to forgive the man who murdered his daughter.

The man is sitting there trying to crush a ladybug in his hand, and God leans in and says: its about taking your hands off his neck. The man considers this and slowly opens his hand and lets the ladybug fly away.

It's a beautiful movie about forgiveness. How we blame God for the bad things that happen to us; and how we blame ourselves mercilessly.

It's a theme of Love. God will use your testimony to help others to get free.

Bible says...the THIEF cometh not, but to KILL, STILL and to DESTROY. it's not like I don't have answers or that I'm not BIBLICALLY-EDUCATED...I'm basically trying to engage other Christians and Hear their input! I also have questions that sometimes I can't answer, like How is it that GOD was never Born! Hmmm! That's a Good one, Huh! Never came up with an answer for that one! Hah! Here is the Girls name, in case any of you were just interested in seeing what our young people are maybe struggling with in Life, right? Her name is: KATELYN NICOLE DAVIS...if your interested just go on Facebook or YouTube! She's pretty much become the POSTER-CHILD for some major Suicide organization! These people are promoting SELF AWARENESS! I personally take it a step further, and promote PRO-LIFE...Later!

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Without the love of God in our hearts, the nine gifts of the Spirit are meaningless. The Greatest Gift to possess is the power of love. Love is eternal. Worldly love is not the love of God. It tolerates sin( worldly love) and breeds hate and division--even among Christians. Love has no color. Love is kind. vaunteth not itself is puffed up thinketh no evil. Love does not rejoice in iniquity. Real love will not support evil.If I give my body to burned and I do not do it for the love of God --I died for nothing. How many so-called movements have been motivated by anger, resentment, worldly acceptance? Jesus was motivated by love to die for a world that hated him.

I have finally figured out why we are commanded to do this; because it helps us to forgive. Have you ever noticed that when you pray for someone, you feel love for that person, even if you don't know that person? When we pray for those who have hurt us, or continually hurt us, it's not so their hearts will be changed--although I often pray for that. It's not so they will stop hurting us--although I often pray for that. It's so that the love that we automatically feel for people when we pray for them will heal our hearts and help us to forgive. Sometimes we forgive but the hurt and resentment is still there--praying for the person who hurt you helps your heart heal from the pain.

I am so grateful that we are in one body. And as such, we each have a part in serving our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul has done an excellent job of explaining the spritual gifts that are active in the church. Each gift is for the edification of the Body of Christ.

Thank you be safe

When is a name written in the book of life

When on the Lord, again I say wait on the LORD.....

Love

He (our creator), is no respect of persons, we read from the bible.

so why did he choose to be born a jew?

then later become a christian?

this seems a controversial issue!

for the bible also says...

i change not!

can one begin to trust anyone who calls himself

god, who changes not,

then,do a complete flip? to keep what has always

been his!

and after what he so firmly says! i change not!

even satan would have something to say about this!

and as we also know, he is immortal

he is perfect,

so there is

no change from perfection to being a mortal creator

which would, put him in the same bracket as satan, who is

a created being, thus here he lowers himself

(when there is no need to), in not only satan's eyes,

but all mankind, being born again to prove

his ownership! he turns human like us!

no...

he is the owner to all his creation!

never has he lost anything to a created being - satan!

who can never stand up to his maker, owing every

minute to him for his own life, and would surely be

consumed by the creator's presence!

for the wages of sin is death,

satan is living only

through his makers gratis, or he should have long

been dead by now!

i believe my creator is perfect in everyway.

never has he lost anything he is owner of,

not incompetent, untruthful to his word,

lacking a sure foundation, and the ability

to hold on to what is rightfully his!

unaware of the helplessness of man's

suffering, that he took so long to come to

his aid!

had to leave a place called heaven to show

who he rightfully is!

then to prove to man he had to lower his

status in order to win back the ownership

of this sad world! and his people!

and then be told by satan...

to bow down to him, and he (our creator)

would be given this whole!

i also believe my creator knew what he did

back then, even before he created anything

for surely he is an immortal being, knows his

own, and how to manage it all, even satan.

he need never to prove to anyone or answer.

Barry I am sorry to hear about that. I do believe the Bible teaches the age of accountability is 20 years old.

Exodus 30:14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.

One was not required to offer a sacrifice for oneself till they were 20 years old. otherwise the Father was offering on behalf of the family. in other words under the headship of the family.

Numbers 1:3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

A male was not to be drafted into the army until they were 20 years old. Not considered an adult till then.

Numbers 1:18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.

A census of the adults was not reckoned until they were 20.

I am of the opinion that she shall grow up in the 1,000 reign of Christ after the tribulation and given a chance to accept or reject the Lord. After all in the kingdom believers do not marry as Jesus said in:

Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Yet there are children in the kingdom.

Isaiah Chapter 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

until a Lion can eat straw this has not happened, yet there is a sucking child there, so where do they come from?

Aborted kids?

God made everything. he even put genes in you to make his image in man and of course he put the neurotransmitters in you to maintain that image if you develop your mind with God but Adam didn't do that. Adam had one commandment and he broke it after naming the woman, woman because she came from man and then naming her Eve, and so he was expelled form the Garden and missed his chance of developing with God. God puts ten commandments in front of us. Children mis that chance if we do not lay the foundation so as they can choose wisely when they are adults.

Genes do not change or mutate when they develop as they are suppose to with God; but when we develop with wrong stimulations get wrong results and often mutation after the fact that we reap what we sow and so we reap mutations; appropriate stimulations give appropriate results, Inappropriate gives inappropriate results. So what is one suppose to do. Do as you do if you are getting appropriate results as no man or woman is perfect; and when it comes to our children we can only do what we know to do and or is natural to do, and i know it may be hard to know what is natural anymore as we have or are losing touch with nature. Nevertheless, it is all about mind development and how we develop and no man or woman can help it if they do not plant the proper seeds. That is maybe the function of parents and or actually man as he is suppose to be head and or is usually head and or the woman if she is the head . It seems that nothing is straight forward any more and at this point; i usually quit as I do not need the confusion etc........

Incidentally, O I know now why scientist do not have a MindHQ, in fact a few messages ago; I actually did a MindHQ along with my answers and i think I passed it but I knew the answer as I designed it, and or copied it from an intenet search on the brain or mind and or something

I want to thank God for all he has done for me , Thank you Jesus , please keep me lifted up in your prayers , God bless you all,

The promises of the Lord are Yes and Amen indeed. I see Him perform His Word in my life;promoting me when my enemies thought it was over.

Indeed, the stone that the builder's rejected has since become the heard of the corner. This, only the Lord can do and it is really AMAZING!!!

The Lord, be Glorified forever and ever, Amen!!!

It is a very hard way to die. I think that the problem relates to getting away from God and then when you are stressed or confused or on drugs or are partying and then probably stressed and confused, and you have no one to talk to and understand; and you do not know God and Jesus; who do you talk to?

When you have God; You always have someone who understand you; and will always stay with you etc.......

Today people have turned their back on God for the belief and deception of evolution and money also seems to be the Goal; and their is nothing wrong with money if it is used for the right stuff but in this world; man control it and rules it and children starve, get sick, die. live in slums, etc.

Children don't need to read and understand scriptures but they need the basis, God created the world and everything in it. etc.

Word looks like it is given to me. Amen

Ecclesiastes 12:13 | View whole chapter | See verse in context

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Let us sum it all up I think the Bible says. and the sole duty of man I think it say somewhere is to serve God. You do your best and that is it. You can't do more. So, no when to fold up and know when to hold up and know when to walk away and know when to fight. That's a gamblers song and you shouldn't gamble and so it sounds good and it was enticing but: but I don't necessarily agree with it,, well maybe a chord or 2 when I learn as i know what chords and notes are, But I do not want to loss my main point. The sole duty of man is to serve God. I an not sure where it is in the Bible but i think that it is there somewhere ,, probably in Jobs

Kelly, the Books of Maccabees are considered a part of the Apocryphal books, i.e. books, for various reasons, were deemed has having material in them which were inconsistent to the other books written by verified people (e.g. the apostles). These differences were sometimes minor in nature & others sufficiently major so as to add error to history or doctrine. The Maccabees are two of such books. For example, in 1 Macc 2:52 it says: "Was not Abraham found faithful when tested, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness", which tells us that Abraham was found righteous based on his works (i.e. the offering up of Isaac as a sacrifice). Whereas, Rom 4:3 says, "For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness", telling us that it was by his faith in God (belief that God would somehow provide Himself a sacrifice) that made him righteous before God. Quite an error.

Another example: in 2 Macc 12:41-45, the reading of it shows that (a) Judas collected two thousand drachmas of silver & sent it to Jerusalem for a sin offering & to make atonement for the dead - and this then leads in to the RC doctrine of purgatory - all vehemently opposed to Holy Scripture ( Heb 9:27: "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement"). There is no intermediate place of suffering & purification for entrance into Heaven.

So for this & many reasons, all who are intent to learn the Truth & hear what the Spirit of God is saying to them, should read from the Holy Bible (KJV preferred) so as to avoid believing error. Too many people have been ignorantly led to believe anything they hear from the pulpit. It is our responsibility to guide them to the Light & Truth that they might not believe a lie.

Thanks a lot for your answer God may bless you more and more

Respected sir/mam

Thanks

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, TO STAND.

How can a people of blood shedding (murder) on homeland become purified. be freed from curse according numbers 35?

We are awaiting, "The fullness of the Gentiles" to be complete. Search those scriptures.

Go down to the numbers at the bottom (history), and read some of the recent prophetic studies posted on here.

Since mice were involved, maybe it was bubonic plague.

I heard prophetic utterance: that the body of Christ could ( which means we have permission)

Corporate Pray, city wide, nation wide, worldwide; unite our FAITH and pray for the virus to dry up from the ROOT and die in The Name of Jesus.

Problem one: our faith has been shaken.

Problem two: Christians are ordered out of

Assembling together.

This needs some organizing by Pastors.

How fast could that happen?
