  • Beverly Campbell on Luke 22 - 2 years ago
    Yes, though I have read the passage many times, I am curious about the significance of the two swords.

    Luke 22: V: 38:

    And they said, Lord behold, here are two swords."

    And Jesus said, It is enough?"

  • Kevin on Judges 8 - 2 years ago
    why are these pastors proclaiming God is searching for a modern day gideon i dont think God would ask for a soldier from 3000 years ago to come back to life after Jesus gave the sacrifice on the cross. tho we are in idoltry of lust most of the time, i can't help but feel like people are prostituting themselves and committing adultery in order to obtain power and induce fear through paid murder. i don't think we are meant to be run by this and i think my pastors are preaching blasphemy, as i can read their mindds saying look if you want or you're an embarassment, or im interested, tho i am not selling my body. i do admire the phoenix. can you shed some light?

    Did you ever wondered if the Devil was out to kill us, Why didn't he just kill Adam and Eve? Then he would have laid the axe at the root of all Mankind.

    He's a deceiver.

    When he Deceived them He took Dominion.

    The Devil is in the Business of Mankind Desciples of his own. The Devil wanted Gods Glory and so do his Children.

    Pride is What's a attribute of Satan and our flesh.

    I believe Jude has a lot to say about this

    I believe this is the context of Jude 1:7-13. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

    Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, DESPISE DOMINION, AND SPEAK EVIL OF DIGNITIES.

    Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

    BUT THESE SPEAK EVIL OF THOSE THINGS WHICH THEY KNOW NOT: BUT WHAT THEY KNOW NATURALLY, AS BRUTE BEASTS, IN THOSE THINGS THEY CORRUPT THEMSELVES.

    Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

    These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

    Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

    Ephesians 6:11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the ( WILES )of the devil.

    Ephesians 6:12-13.

    We're not given this Armor to March forward. It's so we will be able to Stand.

    We don't present ourselves as brute beasts.

    Paul says when I am weak I'm strong.

    2 Corinthians 12:7-10.

    The strength is not U

    The strength is he that is in U.

  • Bill Hyman on Isaiah 42 - 2 years ago
    My KJV Bible does not mention the name Jehovah once in the New Testament and only 4 times in the Old Testament. Why is that?

    As the letter "J" was not invented until the 16th century why does your church translate YHWH as Jehovah and how can you be sure how the name should be pronounced and does it matter as different languages use different spelling and pronunciation?

    Are you aware that the name given by an angel to his mother, Mary, for her son was Yeshua?

  • Chelsea - 2 years ago
    This isn't so much a Bible question but a question of how God would want me to handle a situation. I am a new Christian so not well versed in finding answers. My husband is happy with our only child and I thought I was too but now I can't help but want another baby even though we are both in the older range for having a baby me being 34 and him 48 and with covid a big concern for us especially since I would need a c section and all the risk of visiting a hospital weekly. I understand and agree whole heartedly with why we shouldn't but my desire is not going away. I have not mentioned it to my husband and have no plans to but I don't know how to get rid of the overwhelming desire to have another baby.

    Sacha,

    Don't raise your eye. Make no mistake, this planet is hell on earth, our minds become caged in with Satan precision. Seeing that the next age doesn't have drought and destruction, it's more as though we become nothing but ash and dust with no feelings, no more tears to cry, no more thoughts to think. My soul goes back to God, so why would I care about anything else? End of discussion.

    It was me last year who persuaded you to stay, and now I would persuade you to go. It's not easy banging your heart against someone's ideological wall.
  • GiGi on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    I must apologize to readers. When I began reading Genesis about one month ago, I was new to this site and such a forum as this. So, after reading the chapters, I would read what has been said in discussion, and then write what I get out of the chapter. I am not really writing to anyone but myself. It helps me remember and process information. I do hope that some may bring some answers to some of my "wonderings" as I often post questions that come to mind. I also hope that some will find something helpful in what I post.

    I know that I write at length. That is how my brain works to process thoughts. So, I apologize if some are irritated with this style. I don't mean to offend anyone.

    I started a journal on Genesis last week, so I have gone back to my posts to re read what I have written to jog my memory. These posts are helping me in this review. I am not very tech savvy, so this is the best way I know how to do this. So, please bear with me as I take this trip into Genesis. Ignore me if you wish. I certainly don't mind if anyone does that.

    Just thought to go back to Genesis 1 and add this for anyone who may start there and wonder, "Who is this GiGi"?

    I am just and old believer who is looking to be refreshed by God's Word. I ad no idea this site had a discussion forum when I first searched for it. The discussion forum was not why I came here, but God knows what I need and led me here.
  • GiGi on Genesis 38 - 2 years ago
    ... Onan robbed God of the opportunity to create a new life from this intimate act. If Onan had not engaged in intimacy at all, he would have disobeyed is father and the custom, but he would not have robbed God. This is why some people believe that contraceptive relations(any intimate act that: does not deposit "seed" into the woman (coitus interruptus, condoms) and any intimate act that: deposits seed in the woman but actions are done to kill or hinder motility of seed by the use of drugs, plugs, jams, and jellies; or any action that causes an abortion (I.U.D. by preventing implantation); or any temporary or permanent action that causes sterility) is wrong since it's intent is to have the pleasure of intimacy but refusing God the opportunity to create a new life in any act of intimacy. This does not mean that every act of intimacy should be to conceive, as conception is not possible on every day of a woman's fertility cycle, nor that people who are infertile should not have intimacy with their spouses. It means that every act of intimacy should be left open for for conception to naturally occur as God wills. I know many will be upset by this explanation, but I feel that so many people do not understand why some people are opposed to contraception due to not having a thorough explanation of this viewpoint. That said, I am not saying that this is my view or that believers need to have this view. I simply suggest that believers consider how seriously God took Onan's actions and be prayerful of how they live out intimacy in their lives. God chose to bond together in one act multiple purposes: union/procreation/pleasure. Does man have a right to break these purposes apart at will just because we can? Normally, couples do not need to add anything to the way God designed the intimacy to cause fertility. But contraception, say opponents, involves an act against this design. I had to wrestle prayerfully with this in my life. May God lead each into his mindset and will.

    ... moving on with the chapter. Judah's wife died. Tamar realized that Shelah was grown and had not been allowed to take her for a wife by Judah. (Judah was probably afraid to lose yet another son in this endeavor to produce heirs.) After mourning his wife's death, Judah went into town. Tamar heard that he had gone to town, so she removed her widow's clothing and put on the attire of a prostitute and went to town, too. She sat along the roadside (which must have been the common way for prostitute to advertise her availability.) Judah saw her and requested to have of her services. Funny how Tamar was expected to dress like a widow and stay out of town and Judah could just waltz right in.) Tamar had a plan and cleverly secured a some of Judah's personal affects to use as a pledge that he will pay her a goat for her services.

    Then she went back home and put on her widow's clothing. Tamar did not go to town because she wanted to be a prostitute. She went to town so Judah would chose to be intimate with her so she could produce an heir for her husbands from within the family. Both she and Judah were wrong to do this.

    After 3 months she began to show that she was pregnant. Everyone wanted to have her burned for immorality. But when she produced Judah's personal effects, he realized that he was the father of Tamar's child. So he fessed up and also admitted that it was wrong for him to not give Tamar to is son Shelah. It doesn't seem that he ever did. Tamar gives birth to twin sons. (what if she had a girl?) She must have lived as Judah's wife but they lived without having further intimate contact.

    This story is very "in your face" with the offenses done and many may be appalled by what happened. But it is a good illustration for us to understand how appallingly "in your face" our sins must be to God. It seems he included this story to teach us something about sin. That thoughts and actions, can be sinful. That acts of commission and omission can be sinful.

  • GiGi on Genesis 37 - 2 years ago
    Here again we have a parent showing favoritism to one child over another. This time it was Jacob favoring Joseph, his 11th son. Hadn't Jacob learned anything from growing up with his mother favoring him and his father favoring Esau? surely e knew what it was like to favored and not favored. But, Joseph was Rachel's child and she was favored by Jacob over his other wives.

    Joseph was 17 in this chapter. So, for 17 years, his brother had witnessed how their father favored and pampered Joseph. He did not work in the fields with his brothers, even though he was old enough to do so. He was given finer clothing than them. Their father allowed Joseph to snitch on his brothers. Was Jacob aware of how damaging this favoring was to his other sons? I am the fourth of ten children in my family. Growing up we did have discussions and arguments about who was favored by my parents. They tried not to favor any of us, but they made comments that led to us thinking some were more of a "golden child" than others. But we never hated our siblings.

    Joseph was given dreams from God. I don't think Joseph really knew quite how to handle these dreams and so wanted to tell others to find some answers, perhaps. Maybe he did want to lord it over his brothers a bit. He was not perfect.

    Telling his brothers ended up being for the good because, in time, they all would be reminded of these dreams from many years past when in Egypt. I wonder if the multiple colors of the coat was significant. Any help on this?

    Perhaps it was just that it was considered expensive, extravagant, or time consuming to dye so many different colors before spinning into threads to create the coat.

    His brothers were jealous of Joseph and hated him. They commiserated together over this while working in the fields. They were old enough to have married and began families of their own by this time. Jacob sending Joseph out to see how the work was going was not welcome, since he often would bring back a bad report about them.

  • CHARITY Means LOVE in the original Language - 2 years ago
    1 Corinthians 13

    1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not LOVE, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

    2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not LOVE, I am nothing.

    3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not LOVE, it profiteth me nothing.

    4 LOVE suffers long, and is kind; LOVE envieth not; LOVE vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

    5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

    6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the TRUTH;

    7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

    8 LOVE never fails, but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

    9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

    10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away,

    11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

    12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known;

    13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE

    Mishael: we are following Jesus. When His Love is perfected in Us, we become more like Him. We don't strive. We teach patiently. Pray. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus to us in a way that helps us to see ourselves in that mirror. Looking into it___we see less of us, and more of Jesus. Perfection of Love, within us. It frees us in a way that is almost indescribable. Acceptance in the BELOVED.

    He loves & accepts__now, then, and in between.

    Mishael
