  • Adam - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Hi Robin, God's plan wasn't for Adam and Eve to die. Adam and Eve chose to disobey God's command and consequences followed.

    You said that the serpent betrayed both God and man. I'm not sure what you mean by the serpent betraying God. It was just Adam and Eve in the garden who were betrayed at that time. Satan the angel betrayed God some amount of time before that, if that's what you mean.

    God isn't manipulating. God is good.

    Hi Annette.

    Romans 1:18. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against ALL UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

    This verse applies to everyone who has not accepted Christ.

    ( the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against ALL UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, who hold the truth in unrighteousness)

    Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

    Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

    AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

    1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

    No one will make it to heaven off their own righteousness.

    It is the righteousness of Christ imputed unto us is what declares us spotless.

    Yes we minister to everyone.

    God bless.
  • Robin McAvoy on Genesis 1 - 1 year ago
    If Gods plan was for us to die, why did he ask Adam and Eve, "not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and Evil?" That would make the God I know, to be passive aggressive/manipulation. The God I know is straight forward with his commands. I believe God meant what he asked. We always seem to choose the long way around the truth. We are dismissing the fact that the serpent betrayed God and man. The tree of life is still in Eden, guarded by the Cherubims. God is all good/trusting and knowing, but I can't believe he is manipulating. I believe he always has another plan for the times his plans were interrupted by Satan. I also believe his plan would run smoother and if he didn't have to "allow" Satan to dig his hole into eternal outer Darkness. "Thats where we all come in, the witnesses."
  • Adam - In Reply on Romans 1 - 1 year ago
    People accused Jesus of going to eat dinner at the house of a "tax collector." Luke 19:1-10. Jesus spent time with an "adulteress" John 4. He spent much of His ministry around "sinners." We're all sinners.

    But yes, there are verses supporting avoiding people and avoiding trouble. Jesus fled to avoid being arrested/beaten, before it was His time. He left people to be alone to pray. He said He wasn't respected in His own town with His own family. It says this about not being welcomed: Luke 9:5. It says avoid foolish arguments Titus 3:9-11 and avoid divisive people or heretics. It says this specifically about Christians ( Matthew 18:16-17) when confronting about an issue like sin. So it seems the answer is it depends.

    Found this page too which might have more verses: Link God bless.

  • Alonzo Harris on Matthew 24 - 1 year ago
    Jesus loves each and every one of us, he died on the cross to set us all free from sin bondage he wants us all to make it to heaven with him and spend eternity with him, his will is not for us to perish out of this world because of disobedience of his words and instructions that he left here for us all to follow, but instead we are all guilty of being a slave to the sin nature which stems from a negative and evil nature that wars against GOD Almighty the devil himself we all have to be careful of, because he comes to cause us all to do the total opposite of our lord and saviors will for each and every one of our lives, i will continue to pray for all of our strength in christ Jesus, to save us all from going to hell with a devil that don't care about any one of our well being, may GOD keep and bless his children in Jesus name amen
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 20 - 1 year ago
    Psalm 20 review.

    Verses 1 through 5 in this Psalm show us how God generally hears from His sanctuary and is there for them. Verse 5 describes banners; and given the theme of the other Psalms it is likely that a military campaign and victory from God is seen here. Verse 6 discusses how God's "anointed" will be heard from heaven with the strength of "his right hand". That could more specifically be David; or perhaps his son or any other king.

    The trusting in chariots and horses in verse 7 brought the downfall of Solomon later on. 1 Kings 4:26 shows he did this anyway; and the other warnings in scripture such as Deut. 17:16 and 2 Chronicles 1:17 were ignored (not to mention his warning not to marry women who would lead him astray with foreign gods).

    David trusted in his own numbers as well as we see in 1 Chronicles chapter 21 (Satan himself motivated him and God allowed it). It is hard to tell the timing of that event if it was before or after this Psalm was written. The last verse asks God to save; but king is not capitalized; so it seems he would be asking the king to respond (which of course would be an admonishment to everyone else when he was king unless it was written beforehand when Saul was king). Perhaps someone can help me clarify that passage.
  • Samuel on Haggai 1 - 1 year ago
    Haggai 1vs 9 meaning
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 19 - 1 year ago
    Psalm 19 along with Romans 1 demonstrate that all of the universe testifies to the whole world of the presence of God as well as to His order to the design of the universe. We can; therefore make a transition from the One who created the laws of nature to the written law and statutes ordained by God. (The word statute apparently means a specific enactment of a law).

    Some degree of apologetics here is in order to explain the most common objection to the statement of the sun and its apparent movements here on earth. (see also Job 9:7). Often this is dismissed as a superstitious viewpoint of the earth being the center of the universe with the sun revolving around it. When taking into account the movement of our galaxy; for example we see how the sun moves through it's own "circuit" as it were through our local system of stars and how in fact our galaxy moves in its cluster of surrounding galaxies through the universe. So; therefore there is a certain pattern that it has in regard to the bigger picture as the earth has. We also need to remember the verse in Joshua when the sun stopped for a day and the moon ( Joshua 10:13) as well a when the sundial returned back to where it was ( 2 Kings 20:1-11). There are historical accounts as well of supernatural events such as the sun and moon turning dark during the crucifixion in different parts of the world.

    Notwithstanding; of course it is clearly not a "bridegroom" as verse 5 indicates; so we need to take symbolic language if literal cannot b taken as should be the rule in all scripture!

    Note how law; fear; statutes and judgment are all things which we should think upon. This is the sentiment of verses 9 to 11. We are not given an indication what are "presumtous" sins (v. 13) or "secret faults." (v. 12). We do realize that in meditating on the Lord we are focused on Him and this readiness keeps us from slipping (see meditating day and night verse Joshua 1:8).

    That is what we're commanded to do.

    Are we not to have anything to do with those people or share the gospel because they receive the wrath of God and if you communicate with them does it mean you approve of who they are.

    I would like to thank Jesse for revealing info on the magi. Their understanding of the prophecy. How interesting that this question was just recently asked, that he used the o.t. to prove his understanding of the star and the magi. I had made a reply that said their was no prophecy concerning the star. Thank you holy spirit for showing me the truth. Searching the scriptures !

    If anyone knows Jesse ,please relay my words to him.

  • Brian on Acts 20 - 1 year ago
    Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710 from Isaiah 58:13,14 says, "The sabbath is a sign between God and his professing people; his appointing it is a sign of his favour to them; and their observing it is a sign of their obedience to him."

    He goes on...

    "Even in Old Testament times the sabbath was called the Lord's day, and is fitly called so still; and for a further reason, it is the Lord Christ's day, #Re 1:10|. If we thus remember the sabbath day to keep it holy, we shall have the comfort and profit of it, and have reason to say, It is good to draw near to God."



    The above quotes from Henry and many others from him point to the weekly sabbath as the Lord's Day. No problem, until we read this supposed Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710 from Acts 20:7-12,

    "They came together on the first day of the week, the Lord's day. It is to be religiously observed by all disciples of Christ. In the breaking of the bread, not only the breaking of Christ's body for us, to be a sacrifice for our sins, is remembered, but the breaking of Christ's body to us, to be food and a feast for our souls, is signified. In the early times it was the custom to receive the Lord's supper every Lord's day, thus celebrating the memorial of Christ's death."

    These two Commentary's by Matthew Henry, 1710 are in conflict with each other. Question: Did someone tamper with the later Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710? If so, what purpose? Sun-day worship? Seems like it to me.

  • S Spencer - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Yes I agree, "This is a picture of the true state of a person outside of God's providence, mercy and grace. This life would be so hellish and agonizing every minute"

    God allowed this to minister Jobs life and story to us.

    Without the spirit of God in the world we all would be in that condition.

    This reminds me of

    2 Thessalonians 2:7. ( For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.)

    Go's bless.
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Hi.

    I believe we can agree on the scripture you provided.

    " 2 Timothy 3:16."

    ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

    Here us one of all those scriptures.

    1 Timothy 3:16. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

    I'm sure we can agree to disagree.

    Besides I'm sure you didn't come on the site to chase down all those who believe in the trinity.

    Can we talk about something far more important, like soteriology?

    "doctrine of salvation"

    What is your beliefs?
  • Jesus is Lord - 1 year ago
    God was with Jesus and Jesus declared him . Jesus did things that only God can do , raising the dead , healing the sick , calming the storms . Don't we like to hear about those things Jesus did and still does ? He was born of God not having an earthly father , but the Very God as his father . So as God said my only begotten Son yes Jesus is the Son of God , born of a virgin . I hope you can understand that he is The Son of God . Don't add or take away from that fact lest you have another Jesus .

  • Adam - In Reply on Matthew 8 - 1 year ago
    Hi Freddie,

    I'm happy to offer my opinion. We can and should worship God every day, but many churches choose Sunday as a day to worship I believe because the first century church met on the first day of the week- Sunday. Read Acts 20:7. Since that is an example we are given, surely that's a good time to meet.

    For your 2nd question, can you please provide scripture with the east/west that you believe is confusing? Christmas- I don't know. I kind of doubt Dec 25 was the correct day Jesus was born. But we also don't know the exact place in Bethlehem or elevation Jesus was born. There are many variables.

    What some Roman guy or Catholic said or did carries no weight or credibility. The fact is Acts 20:7 said long before them that they met on the first day of the week so its not wrong to gather that day.

    As for 666, people into numerology can make any book have the same 'coincidences' through enough research, but this is merely confirmation bias. It's similar to the birthday paradox how it seems illogical and almost like a conspiracy how with so few people you have 2 or more with the same birthday. It's a cute party trick just like the 666. It's equally likely to find 555 or 444 or any other sequence if one crunches enough numbers, but it doesn't mean anything. If some day I see people funneled into taking a mark with 666 on it then I will know with certainty that is something to avoid, but someone doing a little trickery to make a coincidence seem like its not is insignificant in my opinion. God bless.
  • Freddie roberts on Matthew 8 - 1 year ago
    why do we worship on Sunday instead of Saturday? If the star appeared in the east, how could the wise men end up in Bethlem which is west. Why do we celebrate Christmas in December when there are no shepherds in the fields in December because they are kept in town until warm weather......could you shed light on these questions. I know that Constantine 1 decreed on March 7 321 that all worship in Rome would occur on Sunday the day of sub worship but when II added everything up, I got a bad number..... March 7 is the 66th day of ear and adding 321 Ad 3, 2, and 1 is 6 which together is 666.Now, according to Daniel and Revelation, the antichrist will be a pope and the beast that gives him his power is the Roman catholic hierarchy. SO>..... why do we worship on Sunday???????
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Hi.

    John 4:24 GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

    Ephesians 4:4-6 There is one body, and ONE SPIRIT, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

    "ONE LORD," one faith, ONE BAPTISM,

    One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, AND IN YOU ALL.

    Romans 8:11. ( BUT IF THE SPIRIT OF HIM ) that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, HE THAT RAISED UP CHRIST FROM THE DEAD shall also quicken your mortal bodies BY HIS SPIRIT that dwelleth in you.

    1 Corinthians 15:45. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; THE LAST ADAM WAS MADE A QUICKENING SPIRIT.

    Acts 13:30. But God raised him from the dead:

    Study these verses and you will see the trinity in who raised up Christ from the dead.

    John 10:17. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

    God bless.
  • Frederick dobbin on 2 Timothy 3 - 1 year ago
    verse 16 can you give me a better understanding of that please
  • S Spencer - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Amen Phil.

    Well Stated! I think you covered it all, there's not much to add to what you have said. Perhaps I can dig up a few scriptures that goes well with what you have stated.

    I agree with that we can't judge the heart of man to be able to judge/condemn him. Romans 14:4.

    Also Matthew 7:1-5 possibly is speaking of condemning as well.

    Some of these would probably help being read in the Greek.

    FRUIT INSPECTORS.

    There's several scriptures that say we should correct one in their error, here's one and the mindset we should have while doing it.

    Galatians 6:1-5. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, YE WHICH ARE SPIRITUAL, RESTORE SUCH AN ONE IN THE SPIRIT OF MEEKNESS; CONSIDERING THYSELF, LEST THOU ALSO BE TEMPTED.

    Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

    For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

    But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

    For every man shall bear his own burden.

    In doing this I believe we should use the word of God. ( Hebrews 4:12-13)

    This can be troublesome! How well this person takes this rebuke depends on their spiritual condition as well.

    Paul says this kind of judgment is to be kept in house.

    1 Corinthians 6:1-6.

    Today some judge from a carnal mind. "One look at him and we think we got him figured out."

    Also culture gets in the way. We compromise TRUTH for politeness. This also can be difficult.

    We compliment someone's dead works "Efforts to glorify self" and we ignore their fruitlessnes or incorrect doctrine.

    NOTE: If there's incorrect doctrine they believe in, that would certainly affect their fruitfulness.

    We are to build one another up with the truth not flattery.

    We should handle God's word cautiously and be open for improvement.

    Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 1 Corinthians 5:6.

    God bless you.
  • Duncan - In Reply - 1 year ago
    -Jesus is him that will judge the living and dead, we as Christians and humans in general we can not instruct God in any way even we don't even know our own hearts. as its written no one knows or gives counsel to God.

    Isaiah 40:13-14

    (13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?

    14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?)

    -God does according to his will, even our own breath is in his hands.

    on 6 its written that jesus died and went to hell and perched the gospel, Pray and read the bible ask for understanding.

    Ephesians 4:8-10

    8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

    9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

    10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

    5.Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

    6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

    7

    But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

    Dear Donna, I am praying for Daniel.

    We continue to persevere in prayer for those we love who have rebelled against God and turned from Him despite us bringing them up in the knowledge of salvation in Jesus. I pray for Daniel and for my sons to quickly turn back to God when they feel Him leading them back. I pray that they will inquire about Jesus and salvation from the ones God send to them to answer their questions.

    Daniel had been through alot with his addictions and rehab and all. I pray that he will continue in sobriety and never return back to drugs or alcohol again.

    Lord God, You love these men, our dear boys, help them today! In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
