Matthew Chapter 25 Discussion Page 3

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!

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.

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.

Deuteronomy

Mishael

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. :)

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.

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)

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.

where in the king james verson, that say, even these herbs i give to you?

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..

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...

in matthew 25 it show us that we have to be prepare and trust the Lord our savior bc we didn't know when he will come .

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.

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.

To Anon. That's a huge statement you make. Any references you wish to proffer to support this You may be surprised what you learn when the Word is rightly divided = correctly read and interpreted.

There is a way to escape... JESUS.

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

Please read Luke 16, especially vs 22, about Lazarus and the rich man. An example of eternal torment. There is no way to escape the burning lake of fire.

When it says the wicked shall be "destroyed", (i.e. ruined) it refers to the fact that every bit of our EARTHLY LIFE will be "destroyed" i.e. wiped out, forgotten, ruined, thrown OUT. Keeping that in mind, they will be thrown out into outer darkness (verse 30 above) and everlasting fire (verse 41) Remember, this is King James era (AD. 1611) English. Death does not mean extinction of existence.

the bible tells us the wicked will be destroyed ...not tormented forever ... John 3:16 .....shall not perish ...not be tormented forever ...your thoughts on this? ....

Matthew 16:27 Jesus Christ said For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Balance. Balance. Balance. It seems that both are true. Our works or what we so, how we act MUST demonstrated our faith. Yet our faith for our salvation can never be grounded in the shaky ground of who we are or what we have done. On Christ and His blood I will stand ALL other ground is sinking sand.

The dead in Christ shall rise first. They are already risen. If you are saved and die, you go straight to Heaven. At the end of days, we that are alive will be caught up together with them and Christ.

What 2 witnesses are you talking about? Are you referring to the 2 witnesses in Revelations in Chapter 11 or 12? If so I think it's fairly accepted that these 2 are going to be Elijah the prophet and Enoch. Both of these guys were swept up to heaven. In short they never died. Yet the Bible states it's appointed for everyone to die "and then comes the judgement". So these guys come back to earth

When the Bible talks about the dead in Christ will rise first what's being said is that those people who have crucified the flesh. In short they have made themselves dead to the world and alive to Christ. The virgins who didn"t put oil in their lamps - this is a direct reference to the light of God"s word which comes via the Holy Spirit. The 5 virgins had no light so they walked in darkness.

The wicked lie saying, No where does it say who the two witnesses are. But I believe they could be any 2 of these 3. But it could be you and me or any two saints. I ask God lots of time for Him to let me be one of them. It would be an honor to die again for Christ. YE NEITHER WITNESS NOR HONOUR ME. It is written, I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bear witness of me.

First you got to know that there was a person named Jesus. He of course is all through the bible but not only the bible but through other publications. If you have computer search and you will see that other writings about him was made by others not only the saved but of the unsaved. Most of these speak of him as a leader of a cult. Many who knew him testified of him after his death.

No where does it say who the two witnesses are. But I believe they could be any 2 of these 3. But it could be you and me or any two saints. I ask God lots of time for Him to let me be one of them. It would be an honor to die again for Christ.

thank you for giving the truth to your brothers and sisters in Christ. so true our stewardship of time, talents and resources for the Kingdom of GOD. many blessings to you and your family.

ch.25: mainly be diligent and responsible with what you have been given-God is coming with rewards in His hand. We may be surprised by the things he has kept in our account when we get to heaven, but we know the Father desires to give us the kingdom. I don't want to be a goat!

verse 31-33, on that great-day, the process of separating the 'saved' from the' unsaved' will be so simple.

Verse 1-13, only 50 percent entered into the marriage, 50 percent did not make it in. 14-30 someone wasted her his talent Life Free or slave, Life from Jehovah GOD is the talent foundation, what we do with our Life is a personal-chore never-the-less I shall give an account to GOD that day. And I will not be able to blame nobody for what I did or did not do with my talent life.
