Note that God's grace is here tied to an abundance of good works. And note as well, God is able. Walking by the grace of God, living it out day-by-day, hinges on the ability of God. A life of good works is not dependant upon our strength, our power, or our resolve. It hinges on His ability alone. And God is able.

are the nephilim still in this world? I have found nothing that tells me they are gone, or where they have gone to.

Psalms 25 has been a restoration for my weary soul. Praise God. It's like Fountain filled with healing water. Which never run dry.my fellow brothers and sisters I do encourage all to KEEP feeding on the words of God.its the only pathway to a peaceful and holy life in the sight of God.

Mark Chapter 4

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?!!

And he (Jesus) arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

You should ask as they did; what manner of man is this!! He is the son of God!

We should hide in his presence when it's stormy all around us. Stay with Jesus, in His Word. Keep your eyes on Him. If you haven't done it yet: repent of your sins and pray for Jesus to come make His home in your heart. Receive the Holy Spirit.

Job 22:14, God walks on the circuit of Heaven. The heaven has a circuit which contains the sun, moon, and stars. They all move circuiting around the star "Polaris."

If it was me, I'd go to Walmart and get a King James or New King James Bible to study with. Get one with a concordance in the back. Center of the page columns. It's the best. When you're seriously studying scripture, those are the best to get.

You can keep an eye out at Goodwill and adopt a Bible someone donated. I find Bibles there.

I have like 8 Bibles I've marked up so much they're hard to read. I'm going to go leave them on picnic tables.

1 Timothy 2:9-10

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but which becometh women professing godliness WITH good works.

Deuteronomy 22:5

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

We're not under the Law as Christians, but I would venture that other people make assumptions about you based on appearance. The key word is Modest.

Same goes for body piercings and tattoos. There's a danger of infections; illness from dirty equipment.

Hebrews 13:17

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

See 1 Corinthians 12:28 also.

The Laws of this Country forbid Polygamy.

It's not necessary to dispute it. You can Google the penalties yourself.

If we speed in our car; we get a ticket. ETC

Civil Law is to be obeyed, as much as the Ten Commandments God have to us.

Can someone explain vs 12 please because i thought we were going to be taken to heaven in the rapture?

The Lord of Israel does not care about everybody like the church would have you believe.

What verse or verses in the Bible say that a man cannot preach the gospel if he has two or more living wires?

Isa. 3:16-24 talks about how God took the jewelry from the women, and never again said they could put it back on...what about the men, so men can wear jewelry but women cannot?

I feel like were in a scenario where air is being pumped in a balloon. and now were just waiting for it too pop.

Born again is as rebirth. It means both again. I prefer how Jesus explains it.

In John 3, Jesus is telling Nicodemus how to be born again, spiritually. When he speaks about the wind, He is describing the Holy Spirit.

We can pray for the Holy Spirit to visit our loved ones, convict them of sin and woo them to salvation. Pray and ask; then thank God for the answer. Having done all: to stand in FAITH.... not doubt. You gotta beat the devils off of family so they can respond to offered salvation.

An angel tells Daniel, that Michael the Archangel had to fight against a demon prince to help this messenger get to Daniel.

Daniel chapter 10:10-21.

What you pray for, give thanks daily. Keep loved ones covered in prayers forbidding demonic influence.

And nope, we don't get to order Michael around. We can ask God to give us angelic assistance. You already have a ministering angel.

Here is a tip: when someone speaks forth the scriptures in the home; sings praises to God or talks what Jesus did today... angels hear it and record It in the Book of Remembrance . Malachi 3:16

It's inspiring!

"Then they that feared (respect & honor) the Lord spoke often one to another, and the Lord HEARKENED, and HEARD it, and a book of Remembrance was written BEFORE HIM, for them that feared the Lord, and thought upon His Name!

So see, we can change the whole atmosphere in our homes! No swearing, no yelling insults and retorts; no gossip about others. Converse reverently about Jesus and you will have angels over at your place every day! How hard is that?

If they hear you thanking the Lord for healing... the oil of joy for the spirit of heaviness, salvation of loved ones etc...

Your prayer and worship songs are being fast tracked right up front of Gods throne!!!

Because Jesus sits at the right hand of God Almighty God of all there is! Jesus hears.

Turn off Metallica and turn on Dion's Kingdom in the Streets cd. What's better than a happier home?

He restoreth my Soul, when the Soul grows sorrowful he revives it, when it is sinful he santifies it, when it is weak he strengthens it. It is to the honour of our great God that we should be a Holy people, walking in the narrow way of righteousness. If we be so led and guided we must not fail to adore our heavenly God's care.

I have a Catholic Bible printed in 1966 and it contains Books 1 and 11 of Esdras, but these verses are not in Chapter 11. It starts with..."And the princes of the people dwelt at Jerusalem...". S where would I find your verses?

I read some of it. I don't know where you live or what you face on a daily basis. I do know God cares about what offends us; because Jesus said offenses would come.

We choose, on daily basis, what we are willing to live for; and die for. Romans 1:20 clearly says that people are without EXCUSE. There is no way to justify doing things contrary to what the Bible says. It's not written in confusion and contrariness.

People always try to have Dominion over other men; women; no matter race, color, religion. God DID NOT give man / woman, dominion over people. And yet, since the beginning, that is what has happened throughout the history of time! It is sinful. We are without excuse. In sin, we turn away and do our own pleasure.

It's going to end badly. Look at United States: if we get rid of police enforcement; we are wide open for a form of martial laws.

Non-Christian people do not see this coming! Hot-headed and clueless. Wicked people in the shadows are orchestrating the progression of what is happening. Now is a time to pray for SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT; of the Wicked spirits that are the engine driving people to the end of this age. It's time to grab onto Jesus and not let go.

The Lord showed me Matthew 24: 2, 4, 11-13. I had only asked Him, how is USA with all its pride going to be made to BOW it's knee. Time to switch gears because we are running out of time!

The harvest is ripe and we are called to be His Workers. Load the Ark. How hard is that? Switch gears. We have go with the Gospel that is inside of us; written in our hearts!

Does Jesus love all those hothead people? Yep. If we preach...they will repent and pray the prayer. We can't sit this out in a foxhole ?!?!?

How the heck do we get Christians to change gears? Pray to the Lord of the Harvest! Don't you feel any urgency?

Work the Prayer Request room.

Forget Noah-ides. Irrelevant.

You are correct. Adam was put in charge of the Garden. The spreading of sin to all of mankind has resulted from the inability of Adam to uphold the Law of God and resist what Satan was offering him.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Romans 5:12

Eve, however, was also there. In fact, Eve was the first person to accept Satan's proposal, look at Genesis 3:6.

Both Adam AND Eve received punishment for what happened in the Garden, look at Genesis 3:16.

The transgression that took place in the Garden of Eden had nothing to do with a piece of fruit. Both Adam and Eve were wholly seduced by Satan.

After the act took place:

Eve's punishment concerned child birth.

Satan's punishment concerned the separation of "seed" from the woman ( Genesis 3:15).

Eve found Satan to be "desirable" and "pleasant to the eyes" ( Genesis 3:6, 2 Corinthians 11:3). The punishment by our heavenly Father upon Eve, (and all of womankind) included her desire to now be focused upon her "husband, and he shall rule over thee" Genesis 3:16.

A few minutes of research into Scripture and a Bible Concordance will likely bring this topic into better light.

A man should not blame a woman for a mistake he made. Neither should a woman blame a man for a mistake she made.

It seems like nobody is doing their job anymore, male or female. How far ahead would mankind be if we took responsibility for our actions!!!

Luke 6:42

You know God spoke to me through the word the other day. He brought me to Joel 1:14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD, . And I fast regularly for numerous reasons. I guess I was just being kind of blind to what God was trying to tell me. Thank you :) Sometimes even when it is right in front of our face the Lord will send someone to confirm it again. Thank You again for your obedience.

My grandmother teach me how to read the psalms .

Wow! Praise God for divine appointments! Even over the internet states away from one another. I do not believe their are coincidences in Christ. You hit a couple of things on the head for my situation. things I did not even utter to you. Thank you sister for your encouraging words in this time of need. God is an on-time God for sure. Thank you for obeying the Lord. I felt that :)

Is it proper for a human being to kill an animal for consumption without praying and in a brutal way such as cracking the skull with an ax?

Year 2020 could be one of the most challenging times of our lifetime. But this inspired word of God written so many years ago is so alive and applicable! God does remain the same! He provided though trials then and now and forevermore!

ET/everything was made by God. What a fantastic statement. When i think of that; When i think of etccc.... How great thou are. and another favorite is All is well with my soul

You tube and Hymn supply a treasue of relaxing very enjoyable hymns

and he walk with me and talks with me and what a wonderful way to develop my mind, ET was made by God. Consider that and all those little microbes of the soil and sea that he made to give us such habitats all over the world and Adam to look after ET but he was a little lower than angels and a man capable of Sin as we all are. and all have sinned. But luckly , we have Jesus and look what they did to him when he came; and they would do the same today One day at a time; Dear Jesus, that all I am asking of you; etc.... Do you remember ....and of ourse he never forgot ; but it is worst now than then etc,, You would be surprised on al the things God [ and teach your old people before they get too old That Gpd make ET;and as long as they remember; they will feel happy and it should be the last tht they will forget; Unfortunately yoday a lot of Alzheimers people Forget that God made ET but sill I find themand autistic people the best to r talk to.

Julie, how have you arrived at the conclusion that 666 refers to or is yhe number of the papacy? Please explain with details so that I understand the process that brought you to this conclusion. I'm not judging, just in search of answers. Thanks :)

ALL things were made by him: and without Him, was not anything made, that was made.

amen

Sharon, you know when we come to the end of ourselves, there's nothing left, BUT GOD. He has always been there - He's always waiting for you to cast all your cares upon Him. In fact, that is the first verse that came to mind, 1 Peter 5:7: "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." But it's one thing to say that, but how can one do it when the dark clouds of pain in our earthly existence overwhelms us?

First, we need to know that our enemy, Satan, wants to have a 'field day' with us: the more he can keep us miserable & weighted down with cares, the greater is his joy. He will do absolutely anything to keep us from looking to & trusting in God - He would rather us wallow in our griefs. So verse 8 of the same chapter, tells us to be "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."

So, if we understand that the 'darkness' in our souls is because that is where Satan wants us, we need to resist him with our faith. 1 Jn 5:4 "this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." So it is the practise of our faith that gives us victory. The armoury given by the Holy Spirit ( Eph 6:10-18) is for our use in combat. And for you right now, use your Shield of Faith, the Sword of the Spirit (read & study the Word & using it against Satan) & Prayer (much prayer praising God & asking for strength to find peace & rest in Him). When Satan sees you are not alone but coming in God's Power in your hands, on your lips, your faith, he will flee. And when there is victory & your joy returning, don't slacken off thinking Satan has gone for good; he's never far & that is why our faith is a great warfare, but we never fight it alone & always thank the Lord for the victory. For your family, your healing & your sense of worth, the Lord will restore when you focus only on Him.

God stared man out well but in man disobedient to God every thing changed for it was the Man that God put in charge Not!!! The women when the Man disobeyed God EVERYTHING fell down and so thats where we stand today we are still disobedient because of man decision he makes we cannot say men u are blameless God put U in charge he made women as your helper Not Your boss and he told man how to treat the women with respect and love he made the women for man the man.man was lonely. not man for women now we see why EVERYTHING is a mess man is not on his Godly Job still blaming women.

Mt 11: 20-24 reveals to us Jesus' upbraiding the cities of Chorazin (now extinct), Bethsaida (where the disciples Peter, Andrew & Philip hailed from) & Capernaum (thought to be where Chorazin used to be). These cities received the ministry of Jesus & the disciples, so were very fortunate to hear (& see) the Truth unlike those other wicked heathen cities: Tyre, Sidon & Sodom. So Jesus is saying that in the Day of Judgement, these wicked cities would stand a better chance than those other cities which were privileged to receive God's Word. Of course, all sinners will be condemned, but Jesus is attempting to show them how great their sin is in comparison to the others.

In today's application, it would be like saying that those poor neglected natives living in the jungles & never having the Gospel come to them, would have a 'reason' to stand before God, rather than those privileged in the West having heard it & rejected it as lies or of no consequence to them.

Well said Chris. I would like to add - work together for the good of the church & the glory of God. As Chris said, everyone has something unique to offer.
