V. 5 cont. - we are not to associate with them, but to witness to them - IN THE LOVE OF THE HOLY GHOST, not brow beat them.

I was looking for the interpretation of biblical 'hate' as pertains to God saying, "Esau have I hated." In doing so I ran across 'Baker's Evangelical dict.' Among many other instances , he mentions Ps.26:5; that David is saying he (and God) hate evil people. This is NOT what this scripture is saying; it says God hates the evil, not the people; cont.

Lillian do you read the Bible?

AMEN, Wayne

I will trust the lord with all my heart and I will always put him first. Bless his Holly name.

Jeremiah 30:7
Its tells me my time to be saved, I know now am suffering but any time I will be saved in jesus name! Haleluaaa!!!!!

V.1 - " ... to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of prison to them that are bound ... " - is one and the same. Jesus (God) used 'doublespeak' quite a lot to make His meanings clearer. He knew His hearers were of varied understanding. 'Captives' are captives of sin, just as those in prison are; it's one and the same.

Vs. 19 -21; the prophecy of eternal salvation with Him in Heaven. The heavens and earth that now are, are kept in store for being cast, with satan and his angels, into everlasting fire.

V.21 - Deut. 6:4-7 explains Isa. 59: 21; Pro. 22:6

V.4 - " ... to strike with the FIST of wickedness ... " refers to the HARSH words in witnessing that come from our mouths; not literal fists.

V. 7 - the 'bread' is the truth of the Word of God; 'thy house' is the church where he will hear this truth; the 'naked' are those not covered by His spirit of holiness - Acts2:38; 1 Pet. 1:15-16; "in all manner of CONVERSATION refers to not just mouth, but to our physical being, how we dress, our body language. Webster's defines 'conversation' in scripture as how we appear to others.

V. 57 - It says the RIGHTEOUS shall be taken away from the evil to come. Isaiah was a prophet and the Lord gave him this prophecy of the Rapture - before the evil, i.e. GREAT tribulation. We will and do have tribulation in our walk with Him, as one on here has said, because Jesus (Himself no less) - said so. But we know it's not the WRATH TO COME - Jesus said so, Rom. 1:18. UN - righteousness!!.

Tiffany, May God bless you for your stand, but - as Ingrid used scripture (wrongly) - we need to use scripture for HIS stand; not for OUR stand, HIS. Everything is in and about JESUS. And ALWAYS pray for His guidance for HIS answers. I have been guilty of just bulling ahead with scripture - without praying first, and NONE of it has done any good - that I can see.

V. 11 - Something the Lord finally got thru to me about this verse is: if we have His spirit living in us, that before we witness scripture to anyone, if we will pray about it FIRST - then He will bless it even more so. But - His spirit in us is needed for Him to hear prayer for His word to others - Jn. 9:31. God hears the prayer of one truly seeking Him in repentance, Acts 2:38.

correction - last line; "they will NOT understand ... "

quote - Let us become as little children in the matter of asking and allowing our God to open our understanding. Moreover, it is His work to open the understanding of those to whom we witness. We do not have to force anyone to accept His views. Except their understanding be enlightened by the Lord Himself, they will understand the scriptures. unquote

quote - A vital fact must be remembered regarding the Apostles being taught. It is important to US because it applies to us in exactly the same way it did to them. "Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures." Without divine illumination no man can understand the scriptures. unquote

Bruce I believe the dead in Christ have never died, they are not in flesh but they are with Him right now and First, yes they are, first with Christ. We will be changed at the 7th trump and when they return we will meet them in spiritual bodies. Oh, all will change at the 7th trump and that's the good,bad, and ugly.

Yes,every Saturday. Could have been about 14 Days.

GOD promised to fight for us but we must be WILLING to be OBEDIENT to is word, We often time CHOOSE to sin WHICH CAUSES.our own problem. By trying to help OURSELVES we step out of the will of GOD. But if we trust GOD then wait on the LORD,and Be of good courage, he shall strengthen thine heart. Wait I say on the LORD

Should read At his birth. That's when King Herodotus killed all the Babies 2yrs old and under.

He is the Lamb, the sacrifice, the fulfilment , the mediator, counselor, our advocate with His Father, judge, propitiation, coming King, ruler on His throne. Make sure your name is written in the Lamb book of life.

Jesus instructs not be called rabbi, Father, or great instructor. He is our everything, as He says. He is the mediator the new covenant. The old covenant is done away. Book of Hebrews.

This is wonderful I'm so glad I finally found it

Jesus spoke of the Spirit concerning Laz. Therefore he let the death of the body occur. What! But he knew a demonstration of the power of God was necessary. It became a political tipping point as the High priests plotted his sacrifice to save their position in the Roman state
Jesus certainly knew his fate and also knew he the Father who would stage these events for the sake of all the doubters

Verse 29: Circumcision of The Heart,Happens when You are Baptized with The Holy Ghost. Which happens when The Father Calls John 6:44 and You ask forgiveness.You are Washed byThe Blood of The Lamb:Revelation1:5 Made New 2Corinthians 5:17. Only by The Blood of The Cross is there Salvation! Christ Done it All. Nothing else to do. He Took My All Sins. In that Day,Lord Lord,I done this and that.Depart!

Donna:Six hundred and sixty six is the number of people that came out total:42,360 that's a big congregation! Plus 7337 Servants./ Adonikam:in Hebrew: Lord of rising, It has nothing to do the antichrist. 13 is just a number. Paul was number 13 of the Apostles. 666 is a number of incompleteness looked at as Darkness,Evil,very sinful. Nehemiah 7:18 667 People that came out.

AMEN. This is definitely a scripture to protect when you feel you are being singled out. God is an awesome God all the time.

"The backslider in heart..." for all have sinned...you won't "QUIT" sinning til the day you die! So in this sense, we all backslid to a certain extend! But we shouldn't stay here in a backslidden condition too long... we should just confess our sins and get right with the Lord.

Wherefore we recieving Kingdom which cannot be move let us have by grace whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and Godly fear Amen thanks to the blood Jesus
