With reference commentary in Mark 2, specifically the comment which says " sin is the cause of all our sickness and pains" I understand Job was an upright man yet still he suffered. I dont think all suffering is because of sin but I am kindly asking for someone to shed some light on this? Thanks
If the earth is around 5 billion years old and let's say it is then my question is why did God choose to create the earth 5 billion years ago instead of 100 zillion years ago?
Sin doesn't wave a banner in our faces and proclaim itself with flashing neon lights and a marching band . If it did it would b very easy for us to spot it and avoid it . The serpent was a subtile creature , it mixes the truth and a lie and slides up to us gently . It's a seducer . It creeps into our thoughts and words and then justifies itself to us and lulls us into thinking we r not doing anything that's too bad . It doesn't matter if we....and then one step down leads to another step down . Before we know it we r sitting in the dark by ourselves wondering where we went wrong . We must focus on getting the basics right . If we cant get the smallest simplest things right then we have no chance with the big important stuff. How deep in the world r we ? How do we view and speak to others ? How much do our possessions mean to us ? How much time do we spend thinking about the Bible and the words in it ? How often do we thank God for His blessings towards us ? Sin is like a slow growing vine , it slides around us slowly and gently and wraps us up in what feels like an embrace but it's really a death grip . It's a giant green anaconda and it will crush the life out of us if we don't fight it anew each day . Get the basics right and fight every day in order to not allow our own sinful inclinations to get the better of us . If we stop fighting we die.
You don't bless the wicked or evil and defiantly you don't except it or welcome it as a matter of fact you're not supposed to be around them or associate with them. Today we go to church together. The church and it's people have gone astray, we are the world hybrid believers now, we say God and live worldly 2John1:10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. [Don't bless the wicked!] This evil world wants us to hold hands and say they are good. Woe to him that calls evil good and good evil. why? you open yourself up to be possessed by it.
Mark 16:1 "And when the Sabbath was past" (the 7th day) 2. "And very early in the morning the first day of the week..." (Sunday) How can this be misinterpreted? Luke 23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on. 56. ....they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment. Luke24:1 Now on the first day of the week... (Sunday) early in the morning, they came to the sepulcher...
Luke 4:16 ....and as his custom was He (Jesus) went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day.... Luke 13:10 ...and He (Jesus) was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. Genesis 1:5....He called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 2:2...and on the seventh day God ended his work which He had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. (to set apart, to declare Holy)
Exodus 20:8-11 (4th commandment) Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the 7th day is the Sabbath. So we have established that the preparation day and the Sabbath drew on....was Friday. The Sabbath was the 7th day.... Saturday. He rose very early the first day of the week...Sunday. The Sabbath was established in the first week of creation to commemorate his work. A reminder that he is Creator God. The sabbath commandment starts with...remember. God knew that someday the world was going to forget the true Sabbath and worship a man made Sabbath. This happened under Constantine in the 3rd century when he declared Sunday to be a National day of rest. But he could not change the true Sabbath. He could only counterfeit a new day of rest. Then the Roman Catholic Church established it as a "Holy Day" but it was not Gods holy day. The Catholic Church claims the change and declares it as a "Mark" of their authority! There's that word "mark." Could it be the "Mark" of the Beast is making the false Sabbath (Sun day) law?
Verse1, do verse1 describe the obedience of God and/ or God expectations of us?I do understand that we have a responsibility to serve God. When one do their best, and don't succeed are we failures?
Question for my beloved brothers and sisters: In the Old Testament, what is the first reference which points to the existence of a third person in the deity (Creator...Spirit.....???).
Before the real Bible was changed, there was 777 Books of the Bible. Why is there now only 66 Books in the Bible? Is there 777 Books in the original Bible?
False profits Please
is there so much suffering in the world.
For one is given, by the Spirit, the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.
Can anyone explain for me what these two things given by the Spirit are and what is the difference between the two?
Thank you, I appreciate it.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
King James Version (KJV) I think you've missed the whole point of Jesus
