    Sure you can. Theres only one unforgivable sin, blasamy against the holy spirit.
  • ISAIAH 118 - In Reply on Matthew 25 - 5 years ago
    The Holy Spirit comes to live inside of you, once you are Born Again. Your sins will be forgiven. New sins, you take to 1 John 1:9 (near the back of the Bible) And confess.

    John Chapter 16:

    7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

    8. And when he (the Holy Spirit) is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

    9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

    10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

    11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

    12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

    13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

    14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

    15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

    *****

    The Holy Spirit helps you read the Bible. Just ask Him to Help you, and be your Teacher.

    Read Isaiah 1:18

    Where yoI clicked the link, to come in here; go back out and click the link: Become A Christian. Any doubts or questions you have about your salvation, can be answered here.

  • Part Two THE HARVEST - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 13:11 - 5 years ago
    Luke 25

    25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity

    26 MENS' HEARTS failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

    ********

    I do not want to frighten anyone; but Satan wants to. He desires people to reject Jesus in word and deed NOW, rather than wait Till the end of the Tribulation period.

    He has released billions of demons to spark riots, violence, theft, murder, suicide, depression, Fears: of disease, the future, no jobs, no income, death, starvation, homelessness. Demons to strike fear in people's minds. Satan wants us to bail and kill ourselves. He is all of those things. He is a Hunter of Souls. He KNOWS he's going to Hell and he wants to steal souls from Jesus.

    Go on YouTube, search: spiritual warfare, and get some tools on how to beat up on demons: bind them, cast them into dry places or outer darkness. They are invisible, so don't let that throw you off. Ephesians 6

    Part of the Harvest is praying every day for that harvest to survive until scripture gets to them in time to save their souls. All lukewarm Christians will surely suffer loss of rewards in Heaven, if they intend to just sit on their salvation and do nothing for those that are perishing!

    Description of a goat: I would like to go witnessing and pray for people's salvation and healing.....But But But But But. Does that sound like a goat?

    Matthew 25:32 (Read the whole chapter)

    And before him (Jesus) shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

    Everyone should do the work of an evangelist: going, giving, praying hard for, doing the work of an evangelist:

    2 Timothy 4:5

    This website has a Prayer Request room that has people come in there every day. GO YE in there and pray for them! Don't just sit on your gifts. Are they saved?
  • Carleton - In Reply on Matthew 25:40 - 5 years ago
    Sounds good Sammy! Parents should by example from an early age teach their children how to pray, so that someday God through his Son will call them like Samuel was called. Regarding praying out loud in public, likely there are times and places that it is okay and not just a show, but praying on the inside is always okay. God knows and neighbors know who prays for show or for love to the Father. Regarding those not only in present positions of leader ship but in times past too, praying for leaders to know and follow God's will will bring quiet to the land. When there is quiet in the land , more children old and young can hear the still small voice of God when he speaks to a person anywhere in earth, no matter their position for their own good. Let Christians carry the Gospel message through example and not worldly powers. :)
  • Sammy - In Reply on Matthew 25:40 - 5 years ago
    Our present day President just sign an executive order to allow prayer back in the schools, keep praying that God use our leaders to do the right thing, no matter who sits on the throne of this country.
  • Growing in Grace - In Reply on Philippians 1:27 - 6 years ago
    These are things that the Lord wants His believers to be involved in. Some are personal growth as a believer.

    *****

    Matthew 25:

    41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

    42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

    43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

    44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

    45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye DID IT NOT to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

    46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

    There's lots of groups that have outreaches. I helped another lady run the Benevolence ministry: distributing food and clothing to people in need. I loved it. Met many nice, but hurting people.

    We do this as unto the Lord. It's like an offering of your time and love.

    Choose what is agreeable you.

    Here's some scriptures on personal growth. The hardest one to learn is patience, for me

    2 Peter 1:5-7

    Galatians 5:22-25

    Proverbs 31
  • Scriptures on Grace and Mercy on Psalms 103 - 6 years ago
    Good Samaritan Luke 10:30-47

    The Poor and Needy; Matthew 25:35-40

    For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat:

    I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink:

    I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

    Naked, and ye clothed me:

    I was sick, and ye visited me:

    I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

    Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

    When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

    Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

    And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME.
  • UN-MERITED FAVOR OF GOD - In Reply on Matthew 24:9 - 6 years ago
    I believe, Matthew 25:35-40

    describes grace ( un-merited favor). Jesus is explaining difference between sheep and goats. Also the parable of the Good Samaritan, comes to mind; for examples.

    His ministry to people involved teaching, feeding, healing etc. He sent his disciples out, to do the same.

    If you mix practical, with the God kind of faith, you will produce grace and mercy.

  • Carleton - In Reply on Matthew 25:40 - 6 years ago
    Thank you Mishael! I am thankful for Christian Schools. All three of my Children go or have gone all their school lives to a self funded Christian School where singing praises becomes a life long passion. Again, even under the most strict regulations these children sing where they can happily. As parents in the same home their singing in the background warms our hearts. God will always provide a way of encouragement for the Christian without unnecessary offense to the neighbor. As the Bible suggests praying for our leaders is a requirement of the Christian believer, but really it is our reasonable service with love in our hearts. For information sake I have not voted nor signed petitions since my conversion some 30 years ago. I would to send you a song if you like with a reply email address.

    Thank you very much for your time this day and this KJV online help site!

  • Power of Praise and Song - In Reply on Matthew 25:40 - 6 years ago
    In my experience, the Lord inhabits the praises and songs of His people. I believe in the power of praise.

    I get healed and revved up, all at the same time.

    I think we all should sign that petition. The attorney filing against this motion against the churches is Jay Sekulo: attorney to President Trump.

    There's another petition for people who want choice for schools, for their kids. Parents choose what school they want their kids to attend. The states will have to adjust funding for violent schools that are dangerous for anyone to attend. It's not meant to hurt the people. It's meant to NOT keep throwing money away on a broken school system. It's meant to finally see schools improve as students and teachers pull out of this void of never having funds to improve school experience.

    ACLJ.org/petitions

    My grandson attends a public Christian school that is Choice funded. He learns a Bible scripture every day. The environment is safe; great Christian teachers; lots of outings to museums to learn of all the sciences; exposure to an environment that is able to lift up Jesus. I think it is great. God says: Choose + Life

    So that you and your children may live.

  • Carleton - In Reply on Matthew 25:40 - 6 years ago
    These verses came to mind after writing the comment above.

    Hebrews13:10-13

    We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

    For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

    Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

    Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

    Lazarus the poor man also remained without the gate until he died and was comforted in Abraham's bosom. :)
  • Carleton - In Reply on Matthew 25:40 - 6 years ago
    I love that the Lamb of God was fully nonresistant for (my good purpose as a thief on the cross) near his five wounds. I can sing this love in my heart and visible life no matter the world's directions.
  • Don39t Stop Singing in Our Chuches on Matthew 25:40 - 6 years ago
    I hope it's ok to send a request to everyone in here who cares about church freedoms.

    I might remind that when the church was all fascinated by the launch to the moon, they didn't notice the old lady atheist that got the Bible, commandments and prayer kicked out of public schools.

    Right now there is a Mandate being presented to our Congress, from the state of California:

    TO STOP SiNGING in all Churches in the USA. Supposedly again it is for the safety of those who might be "exposed" to the virus as people sing. It is a violation of Christians first amendment rights.

    So please exercise your rights to sign a Petition to Stop This Action before it is entered into Congress's calendar. Spread it around if you can.

    Evil men prosper when good men do nothing. (Bible)

    ACLJ.ORG Find the petition links. Thanks all.

    Let's Sing like our boots are on fire! (It's a Texas saying Lol)
  • Chris - In Reply on Matthew 25:40 - 6 years ago
    Otis, the closest verse I could find is in Genesis 1:29:

    "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

    This was at the time when both man & animals were vegetarian in their diet. Then from chapter 9:3, mankind (i.e. from Noah onwards) it seems was authorized to eat meat. However, some Jews hold that God gave this permission grudgingly, but I don't understand the Scripture in this way. And I suppose, from those animals which were herbivorous, some of them became carnivores: but there's no Scripture to show that.

    Another meaning to the 10 virgin parable is.

    5 were ready and 5 were not.They were not ready for Christs kinda like a suprise visit.or return

    He says 'No one knows when I return'

    Its best to be ready for the surprise visit,and on the look out..
  • QEWilliams on Matthew 25 - 6 years ago
    The Parable of the 10 Virgins I believe is Symbolic of Purity and the "Church". They were pure, they all was sleeping when the bridegroom came! I believe this represents our sleeping "Church" today! The 5 that was wise brought their oil for their lamps and was prepared and waiting for the arrival of the Bridegroom. The 5 foolish was caught unprepared and had no oil for their lamps! The OIL represents the ANOINTING! The wise was was anointed and prepared and expecting the Beidegroom anytime! He came he took them and closed the door! Dont be caught without the Anointing of the Holy Spirit, you will be left behind, because He will say Depart from me, I never knew you...
  • Mishael on Bema Seat Judgment of Christ Jesus on 2 Corinthians 4:13 - 6 years ago
    1 Corinthians 3:9-15

    According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

    For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

    Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

    Every man's work shall be made manifest: for THE DAY shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

    If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a REWARD.

    If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself SHALL BE SAVED, yet so as by fire.

    COMMENT:

    Question we ask ourselves honestly: what are we building with?

    Are we building up the Body of Christ?

    Jesus: we are to be imitating; doing. If we can't Go Ye, then maybe equip those that are? Commit to pray for the workers of the Harvest? Luke 10:2

    Isaiah 61:1-3, Psalm 147:1-3, Luke 4:18-21

    Matthew 25: 31-46
  • Hogan - In Reply on Song of Solomon 1 - 6 years ago
    This is a beautiful testimony and prophecy of Christ's love for his people. "Virgins" are considered (the church) or people in Christ. See Matthew 25:1-13. Verse 2 and 3 proclaims Christ's love and having a relationship with Christ is health and healing to us wholly and is better than wine! Verse 4 is expressed being drawn nearer to Christ, through His "love invitation" and acceptance.Those who receives his invitation and love will run after him and will be glad and rejoice in him, and will remember his love more than wine: the upright love him.
  • John - In Reply on 1 Timothy 2:4 - 6 years ago
    2. The words 'Eternity', and 'forever' is a mistranslation that comes from the word 'aion' which means Age, or age abiding, age lasting, or into the ages, not eternity.

    If the word aion was translated to eternity every time its used in scripture, it might sound like it works for some verses, but if you consistantly translate it eternity there are many verses that would make no sense.

    Matthew 25:46

    And these will go away to eternal (age lasting) punishment, but the righteous to eternal (age lasting) life

    1 Corinthians 3:18

    If anyone thinks he is wise in this eternity (age), let him become a fool so that he may become wise.

    3. We don't have true 'Free will' to choose God

    There is the will of the flesh, and the will of Christ

    You either walk by the spirit, or you walk by the flesh.

    Ephesians 2:8-9

    For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

    John 1:12-13

    But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

    So God is the one that allows us to believe in him, we get no credit. We cannot boast that we chose God because we didn't, he chose us. That verse plainly states that.

    So how can we say men will be subject to eternal damnation when God didn't allow them to believe in him? God is all loving right? And all powerful, so he has a system in place in which he will purify all men through fire, all will be saved.

    God Also hardened Pharaohs heart, which left Pharaoh with no free choice to let the people go. If man had free will; God could not override their will, but he does.

    Exodus 4:21

    And the Lord said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.
  • Mishael ON Matthew 251-12 - In Reply on Matthew 24:38 - 6 years ago
    The oil for the lamps is the Holy Spirit.

    The bridegroom took the virgins that had their oil lamps full and the went to the marriage supper. Matthew 25:1-12

    Like Noah's ark, THE DOOR WAS SHUT.

    Verse 11: Lord, Lord, open to us!

    Verse 12: He opens the door and says,

    I KNOW YOU NOT.

    Sounds similar to some other stories, like:

    Didn't we prophesy in your name? Cast out demons in your name? Chapter 7 verses 21-23.

    Clearly this indicating mid-trib. Scripture writes that after the dead in Christ are raised, then those alive in Christ, will go with Him to a marriage supper as the Bride of Christ.

    Enter the Antichrist to begin his reign of terror. One world money, one world religion, one world government. Sorta like game of thrones but it's not a game.

    Why not skip it and be born again NOW?

    Will YouTube steal away your first Love?

    Will you be captured by wizards that peep and mutter (remember AOL days; logging online?) Isaiah heard that maybe.

    Stay true to your first love.

    As disciples of Jesus, we are supposed to be reaching out to the lost. You can do that here, if you can spare time from dissecting doctrine. I mean no harm. I say it longingly.
  • Robert Marino - In Reply on Matthew 24:38 - 6 years ago
    Wow dude. Awesome! We WILL go through tribulation and anyone teaching otherwise will be seen as a false teacher/prophet/pastor when the time comes.

    Why do we need oil in Matthew 25:1-13? Oil is need to make light. Why do we need light? It is going to get really dark for the true believers.

    Matthew 24 and 25 are for the 70 AD generation and our generation. The Christians at the time living in Jerusalem and those in the 7 churches of Asia Minor needed to read these things for during their time to encourage them to not give up just as Jesus said to be ready in our time. It's a Dual Prophecy. Mostly fulfilled in the first century, partially fulfilled in all centuries after and will climax like a mother giving birth in our last generation.

    Can you take my poll on my new youtube channel?

    I wold appreciate it if you could and anyone else you can get to take it. It takes about 2 minutes to fill out.

  • Joe - In Reply on Matthew 25 - 6 years ago
    In Luke 16 vs 22-31 the message is clear - there is no way to escape the burning lake of fire. By accepting and following Jesus, one escapes being THROWN into the burning lake of fire - a big difference.
  • Steve - In Reply on Matthew 25:46 - 6 years ago
    The Bible's overall message is perfect. There have been some mistakes in copying and translating, but they are not big enough or important enough to discount the overall text! And NO, THERE IS NO CONTRADITION IN THE SCRIPTURES! If you think there is, I guarantee you are either taking something out of context or misinterpreting it. Go ahead, try to prove me wrong, you won't.
  • Bendito Palavra - In Reply on Revelation 20 - 6 years ago
    Reading Ezekiel 28:12-19, Matthew 25:41, Hebrews 2:14 and Revelation 20:10, it is apparent that the end of Satan is destruction in the lake of fire. There is no savior for fallen angels. Thank the LORD that he so loved us and provided his Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sin.

    Perhaps the five foolish virgins are an analogy for the five physical senses, which we are told not to be guided by them.
