Where in the Scriptures does it show the Holy Trinity as high church Creeds speak of?

is there any direction on how to handle conflict within a family

Who is the brethren in ( Eph 6:10)? Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. ( Eph 6:11-12) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to (stand) against the (wiles) of the devil. The word (stand) is #2476; it means to stand, abide, continue. (The word (wiles) is #3180; it means "method" travelling over, i.e. travesty (trickery) wile, lie in wait. These brethren are told to stand or continue against the trickery of the devil. When is the devil cast to the earth? During great tribulation! v12 Tells us "For ((we)) wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Do you think the ((we)) Paul is speaking of in this verse is non-believers that are wrestling against all these evil forces? I don't think so either! ( Eph 6:13-14) 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. The word (withstand) is #436; it means to stand against, i.e. oppose, resist. Do you think Paul is telling non-believers to stand against and oppose, resist the devil in the evil day? I don't think so either! The word (evil) is #4190; it means hurtful i.e. evil, properly in effect or influence, calamitous, diseased, vicious, the devil, grevious, wicked (-ness). This evil day would no doubt be great tribulation when the devil will be in power over the world. ( Eph 6:15-17) v16 Tells us to take the shield of faith, so we can quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Would Paul be telling non-believers to take the shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked? I don't think so either! v17 Tells us to take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. These verses are spoken to the ((brethren, Believers in Christ)), and they tell us its the evil day which is the time of the devil, great tribulation! Blessings

Why does God say in Romans 2:11 For there is no respect or person with God and there are so many people with physical or mental disabilities? I have a daughter with profound autism and Raynaud's syndrome. She just had surgery to remove for hand due to Raynaud's and now we are waiting for her to wake up to see if she has had significantly more brain damage due to a massive seizure which put her in ICU. My husband has always had a difficulty understanding that and I am not able to explain in a sense of him understanding. We have had a few explanations previously and it seemed good, but when our daughter got hit with this, his faith seems to have gone down the toilet.

CASE STUDY

If God is good and all-knowing ,then why is there much suffering in the world and what's God doing or done about it to curb the pending situation

Supporting you argument with tangible bible scriptures

Does Eschatology matter? Many people who believe in the pre-tribulation rapture think its not a Salvation issue. But is that true? You be the judge! In ( 2 Thessalonians 3:4) We are told that the antichrist exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Then in ( 2 Cor 11:13-15) v14 Tells us "And no marvel; for Satan himself is (transformed) into an angel of light. The word (transformed) is #3345; it means to transfigure or disguise. So Satan will be disguised as an angel of light, or as Jesus Christ. (Do you think those who expect Jesus Christ to rapture them (before) the tribulation will be deceived by this disguise? I would say there's a really good chance according to Scripture that they will be deceived) ( 2 Thessalonians 2:3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a (falling) away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. (This verse tells us to not be deceived by any means, for that day shall not come, (What day?) V1 Tells us what day? "the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him". That day shall not come, except there come a (falling) away first. The word (falling) is #646; it means defection from truth, ["apostasy"] forsake, divorce, (writing of) divorcement. The (apostasy) is a writing of divorcement, so it would have to be speaking of True Believers in Jesus Christ who will fall away and receive a writing of divorcement before that day, which is "the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him. That divorcement would be for worshipping another god! I've been told by someone on this site that Eschatology doesn't matter. According to Scripture it would seem that it is very, very important. I pray this post gets shown for all to see this truth. So that all who see this can be the judge of whether it matters? TRUTH MATTERS! Blessings.

Proverbs talk about a man committing adultery but I have not seen where it have talk about the woman. Does the verse not go for both genders?

Hi All,

Great to be here and to continually even though I learnt since I was a teen. I learnt to be Gods child, you have to accept Him as your personal Savior. Pastor prays for you and that's it. I only got Baptized 2 yrs later. Not totally understanding it as well.

Know I learn, you have to Baptized 1st as mentioned in Acts 2v38 In the name of Jesus Christ not in Jesus name ?

This discussion and Bible app is amazing. Reading all over again to really understand the Word.

Revelation 17:10,11. John says there are 7 kings ,5 have lived and died 1 is alive now and 1 will come in the future but rule for a short time. Verse 11 the beast is the antichrist (that was and is not) that lived in the past and died, and comes back as the 8th king but in the past when he lived he was one of the 7 kings. That why Revelation says several times he rises from the pit. God balances things and He does things for a reason. He took Elijah and Enoch to heaven breaking the normal rules because he was going to break the rules to allow the beast and the false prophet to ascend from the pit. Isa 14:9 is the antichrist arrival into hell. ISA 14:16 says is this the MAN that made the earth to tremble. 14:9 hell from beneath is moved.. 14:10 art thou also become as weak as we? 2 reasons this has not been understood until now, angels and humans are not in the same part of hell, an angel is invulnerable and is use to having unlimited freedom. Worst thing God can do is chain him from head to toe. Fire would have no effect on him. 2nd thing is chaper 14 jumps back and forth through time and talks about Satan then switches to talking about the antichrist. This is done on purpose to withhold the truth until the time is right and that time is now!

what is adultery and who is a child of an adulterous person. how does a child of an adulterous becomes perfect

I've recently heard the term "Tribulation Saints", I guess meaning the saints living through the Great Tribulation, described in Revelation 14. I'm wondering if any here feel WE are those spoken of in Revelation 14:12-13. (This is not a pre or post trib question). I'm asking because of the things we're seeing in the world today (digital currency, etc.), is it possible that we are the "tribulation saints"? If so, are we ready to refuse the mark, that will allow us to buy and sell...and...even death? God Bless

The resurrection the last day? ( John 6:39-40,44) And this is the Fathers will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should (raise it up again at the last day). v.40 Tells us that everyone that sees Jesus and believes on Him, He will (raise him up at the last day) When is the last day? ( John 11:24-26) Martha saith unto him, I know that (he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day). (25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.: (26) And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? ((So the resurrection IS the last day)). The word (resurrection) is #386; it means a standing up again, a resurrection from death, raised to life again, rise from the dead. ( John 5:28-29) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall ((hear his voice)), (29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (All that are in the graves shall ((hear His voice)) and come forth, this happens at the resurrection the last day) ( 1 Cor 15:42-44) So also is the resurrection of the dead, It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: (43) Tells us it is raised in ((glory)) and also raised in ((power)) Jesus comes back in the clouds in ( Mt 24:29-31) with power and great glory to gather together His ELECT, that would be the last day. ( Col 3:4) When He appears we appear with Him in ((glory)) Then we look at ( 1Cor 15:51-55) We are all changed at the last trump, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible. The word (last) is #2078; it means farthest, final, (of place or time) ends of, latter end. (That does not sound like its (before) the tribulation does it?) ( 1Thessalonians 4:15-17) The Lord descends with a shout, and the dead in Christ rise first, this is the last day, the resurrection.

in matthew chapter 24 it says heaven and earth shall pass away? what does this mean.

Will the Lord come as a thief in the night to True Believers? Many pre-tribulation rapture believers say the Lord comes as a thief in the night, they say that means He could come at any minute. (1 Thes 5:1-3) v.2 tells us "the ((day of the Lord)) so cometh as a thief in the night." v.3 says "For when (THEY) shall say, Peace and safety; THEN SUDDEN DESTRUCTION COMETH UPON (THEM), as travail upon a woman with child; and (THEY) SHALL NOT ESCAPE. That day comes on THEM, (non-believers) as a thief in the night. The (day of the Lord) that comes upon (THEM) will be a day of destruction, a day of darkness. ( Isa 13:6-9) v.9 tells us "Behold, the (day of the LORD) cometh, cruel both with (wrath) and (fierce anger), to lay the land desolate: and he shall (destroy the sinners) thereof out of it. ( Isa 13:10-13) v11 Tells us "And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,.." (This will be the wrath of God being poured out on all the disobedient non-believers who will be left on the earth) We are also told of this day in another book in the Old Testament. ( Zephaniah 1:14-17) v14 Tells us "The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly". v15 Tells us That day is a day of (wrath) a day of trouble, and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. These verses show the wrath of God coming the same day Jesus Christ comes in the clouds to gather together His elect. Paul calls that day "the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ", and "the day of Christ" in (2 Thes 2:1-2) He calls that day "the day of Jesus Christ" in ( Philippians 1:6) He calls it "the day of the Lord Jesus" in ( 2 Cor 1:14) The day of Christ (we) are gathered together in the clouds. the (day of the Lord) brings THEM wrath and comes as a thief in the night. Blessings.

Is there a Bible that I can read and be in a Layman's terms I can understand?

The difference in tribulation and wrath? Act 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that ((we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God)). 1 Thes 3:3-4 That no man should be moved by this afflictions: for yourselves know that ((we are appointed)) thereunto. 4. For verily when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know. The word (afflictions) and (tribulation) have the same meaning #2347; it means pressure, afflicted (-tion) anguish, burdened, persecution, tribulation, trouble. ( 1 Thes 3:3 tell us we are APPOINTED thereunto suffer affliction. 1 Thes 3:4 tells us we should suffer tribulation. Now we look at Romans 5:1-3 tells us we glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulation worketh patience. (The word tribulation in this verse has the same meaning as above, its pressure, affliction, burdened, anguish, persecution, trouble. Now on down a few verses Romans 5:8-9 verse 9 tells us "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from (wrath) through him". This would be very confusing if the words tribulation, and the wrath we are saved from by the blood of Christ were the same thing, wouldn't it be? The word (wrath) is #3709; it means violent passion, or [justifiable] abhorrence, by implying punishment, anger, indignation, vengeance. 1 Thes 3:3 tell us (we are APPOINTED to afflictions, or tribulation). 1 Thes 5:9 tells us (God hath not APPOINTED us to wrath). There is no confusion here because they are different time periods! The (tribulation period) and the (wrath of God) are very different time periods. We go through tribulation but we do not go through the wrath of God, that will be punishment, vengeance on all non-believers in Jesus Christ. Blessings.

Where is the Maccabees in the Bible? Ive got the New King James?

Im researching Jeremiahs grotto and Jedekiahs cave. I'm very confused by it all because these verses give the impression its near Mount Sinai and yet all other sources put it in Jerusalem?????

Where is paradise? From Luke 23:39-43

(Part 2):

Verse 43: "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." There have been many discussions over the years as to where paradise is. First of all, it is a Persian word. That is where the word paradise came from. In the New Testament, not only is it here, but it's also found in 2 Corinthians 12:3 where Paul says that he was caught up in the third heaven into paradise.

And again, in Revelation 2:7, where it is the reward for those overcomers, those that overcome the evil. It is also used in the Greek translation of the Old Testament for the Garden of Eden. It is called PARADISO, paradise, same word! But that doesn't answer the question where is it? Well, right before the term "in paradise" we have the answer. Jesus says you will be with "me" in paradise.

Wherever Jesus is, it is paradise. Where was Jesus that day or that night or the next day? Wherever Jesus was, the thief on the cross was with Him, and that's paradise.

Where is paradise?

In Luke 23:39-43, we see the promise to the thief on the cross.

(Part 1 of 2):

Verse 39: "And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us." So, one of the malefactors which were hanged, (remember there is one on each side of Jesus), railed on him, blasphemed Him, saying, If you be Christ, save yourself and us.

Now look at the different approaches to Jesus:

If it's true who you say you are, and who some people think you are, then use your authority and power. Not only get yourself down off the cross, but get us down off the cross too. They wanted to save their own skin. We don't want to die for our crimes. Get us down. That's one approach to Jesus.

Verse 40: But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

Verse 41: "And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss."

The Greek word for "nothing amiss" means He's done nothing out of place. He has done everything perfectly! So, one thief says get us down, we want our freedom back, so we can go back and commit more crimes. The other thief says we are getting what we deserve. So why are you speaking that way against Him? Don't you fear God? You can see the difference between the two.

Verse 42: "And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." Now that is all he said. There is no sinner's prayer. But what he is doing, he's doing just based on the Lord's mercy. You know, Lord, remember me, that is all I ask when you come into your Kingdom!

In the books of the New Testament is there any passages by Jesus that negates the Old Testament laws about what foods are clean or unclean that we can or can't eat???

Spiritual Truth - Part 1

The Word of God teaches us in 1 Cor. 2:14 that the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned.

This is why those communicating their messages in this 'forum' so often use the word 'discerning' while the 'Word of God' is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20). This is why it also teaches; that anyone that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man ( 1 Cor. 2:15).

Please remember, the words from the 'Word of God' are according to the 'Spirit of Truth' ( John 14:17). Furthermore, the Spirit of truth cannot be received by this world ( John 14:17) as this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9).

May we suggest you search the words 'a world deceived' an learn how you may know the difference between the 'natural' and the 'spiritual' body ( 1 Cor. 15:44) and how and by whom this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9).

Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

It is God's will for all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth ( 1 Timothy 2:4), but not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven ( Matthew 7:21).

Many will say unto me that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? ( Matthew 7:22).

And then will I profess unto them I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity ( Matthew 7:23). If you would like to know who by nature your Father is, may we suggest you read John 8::43-45.

Page 2. The word (intimate) means a familiar friend, companion, or guest, one who has close social relations with another or others. (So as we can see there is nothing negative about those who are (taken) but it is very positive! Col 3:4 Tells us "When Christ who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye appear with him in glory. (Those who are (taken) will appear with Him in glory. Now a look at the same event told in the book of Luke. Lu 17:34-37 v.36 Tells us "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be (taken), and the other left. The word (taken) here has the same meaning, remember a familiar friend, it even tells us in the meaning "to assume an office" If those taken were taken for judgment would they be considered a familiar friend? NO they would not! Would they be assuming an office? NO they would not. Now in Lu 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the (body) is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. The word (body) is #4983; it means the body, (as a sound whole) "safe", to save, i.e. deliver or protect, heal, preserve. Does the meaning of the word (body) sound like its going to judgment? Or does it sound more like a familiar friend who is going to assume an office, maybe like the (body of Christ)? Now where will the church be (taken)? Rev 19:7-9 Tell us the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. v.9 Tells us Blessed are they which are (called) unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. Remember the church, the elect are called out, called (forth) to call aloud. That does not sound like a secret rapture! When Jesus returns riding a white horse in Rev 19:11-16 the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean (see Rev 19:14) The wife, the bride of Christ, the church, the elect who were (called) who were at the marriage supper of the Lamb was also clothed in fine linen, clean and white, (see Rev 19:8) and return with Him

Page 1) The church is the body of Christ, we are told this in Eph 1:22-23 The word (church) is #1577; it means a calling out, to "call" aloud, bid, call (forth) (whose sur-) name was called. (So the church, the (body) of Christ will be called out, called (forth) to "call" aloud, that don't sound like a secret rapture does it?). Now in Col 3:12,15 We are told of the (elect) which also ye are (called) in one (body). The word (elect) is #1588; it means select, by implying favorite, chosen, elect, to select, make choice, choose (out) chosen. The word (called) is #2564; it means to "call" a loud, bid, call (forth) whose name was called. (So those who are called out are the elect, His chosen ones whose name He will call out loud.) Mk 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the (elect's) sake, WHOM HE HATH (CHOSEN), he hath shortened the days. The word (chosen) is #1586; it means to select, make choice, choose (out) chosen (The elect are His chosen ones) When will this calling out happen? 1Thes 4:16-17 Tells us the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God, and we will meet Him in the clouds. This would be when the church is called out, the calling aloud of His chosen ones the elect happens. In 1Thes 4:16-17 There are 3 main points to look at. (1) we meet Him (IN THE CLOUDS) (2) a (trumpet sound). (3) a (gathering together). Now look at Mt 24:29-31 We see a (1) (coming in the clouds) (2) a (sound of a trumpet) (3) a (gathering together, of His ELECT) These are the SAME EVENT! And it happens "IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION" Mt 24:39-42 Tells us one will be (taken) v,40 says "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be (taken), and the other left. The word (taken) is #3880; it means to receive near, i.e. associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation), to assume an office. The word (intimate) means a familiar friend, See page 2.

1Kings 1:43 says king David anointed Solomon to be the next king of Israel. I would have been there as one of 50 men by Adonijah's side saying "Who cares what evil king David decreed?" "Who does God want to be king over Israel?" By this point in asking questions like this would have caused evil king Solomon to have your head off lopped off. Deeds not words. After reading through the Kings & Chronicles... I don't see a more evil trio than the murderous, adulteress king David, his adulteress, murderous wife Bathsheba & their kid Solomon. Hundreds of wives between them how many children did these two evil men spawn?

Am I missing something?

what's the meaning of fasting and prayers?

why do we fast?

do we have different types of fasting?

Why does God have to send Elijah before Jesus comes the 2 nd time ?....Simple b/c Elijah has to come and turn the hearts of the ppl the fathers to the Children... what Children ?....That Israel of God that are gonna be born in us which are spirits....As Jesus said that which is born of the spirit is spirit....Thats the Children of PROMISE....That manchild the H.G....Remember the cross wd result in multiplication of his seed ....Smite the shepperd and the sheep will be scattered....

Jesus knew that b/c of his death he wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven.... Matthew 19:28 kjv....Thats y he said blessed are them that follow me in the regeneration....That great multiplication of his seed the contents of the book in the fathers right hand...That New Covenant...Thats y he has to know us which is an intimacy that results in a birth of Christ in US his CHILDREN....Behold me and the Children the lord has given me...I think thats y Jesus is always speaking of the babes and sucklings....In my mind i see them as his Children...That are able to praise God with a perfect praise...gbu

Luke 17-34 thru 36. Is it the Christian or the wicked that is taken? Are there other scriptures that back your answer?

Who is Mt 24:39 taking about being (took) away? Many people misinterpret verses in the Word of God and it throws off other parts of prophecy for them. (This is a perfect example of that) Lets look at Mt 24:37-39 and see who is (took) away. (37) But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (38) For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark. (39) And knew not until the flood came, and (took) them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Its kind of hard to understand who is (took) away unless we look at the word (took) in the original language. (took)#142; it means to lift, by implying to take up or away, to sail away, i.e. weight anchor, bear (up) take (away, up) The meaning of the word (took) shows us the continuation of verse 38 which says "until the day that Noe entered into the ark", the next verse "and (took) them all away". Noah and his family were the ones taken away, those left were left for destruction! Now lets look at the following verses that people also misinterpret as the (taken) are taken for judgment. Mt 24:40-42 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be (taken), and the other left. (41) Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be (taken), and the other left. (The word (taken) is #3880; it means to receive near, associate with oneself (in a familiar or intimate act or relation) to assume an office, receive, take (unto, with) (Those who are (taken) according to the meaning of this word are NOT TAKEN FOR JUDGMENT, but to receive near! (42) Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Jn 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; that where I am, there ye may be also. Those (taken) are those Jesus receives unto himself. Context, along with study and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth. Blessings.

Question why god punish those who received the Mark of beast

Question why do people in my church insist that they are talking about grape juice and not wine as we know it It makes no sense to even mention it if it's just grape juice?
