  • GRACE_ambassador {ChrisE} On Ephesians 2:8-9 on Ephesians 2 - 2 years ago
    Precious friends, I have noticed "repent and be baptized" by several friends, for us, Today. Or is it "Saved By GRACE through faith, apart from works," for us, Today, Under GRACE?

    Donna Pittman on 1 Timothy 5:

    "Why would the Bible tell someone to drink wine when strong drink is a mocker . Are they talking about grape juice or wine that swirls in the glass?"

    Try to understand. When Jesus was born, God had sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins so that we could be reconciled to God.

    Jesus was 33 yrs old when He started His ministry. Jesus's first miracle was to turn water into wine. After that the miracles happened more often: the sick were healed, he fed the multitudes with a few loaves of bread and a few fishes, the blind got their sight, the lame walked, demons were cast out, and the dead were brought back to life.

    Jesus gave His disciples the authority to preform those same miracles in His name. ( Luke 10:1-20)

    When Jesus was crucified and died, and buried, and God raised Him from the dead, and Jesus ascended into Heaven-

    His disciples continued on preaching the Gospel of Jesus, and preforming miracles (like healing the sick) until the day when they died.

    HOWEVER, the time of miracles was a one time historical event. The miracles were Jesus's credentials that proved He is the Son of God and that God had sent Him.

    The miracles ceased when the last original Apostle died. (I think John was the last.)

    The Apostle Paul who, wasn't one of the original Apostles was specifically chosen by God to preach the Gospel of Christ to the Gentiles. (Hence, Jesus appeared to Paul on the Damascus road.) When you read the Pauline Epistles you think they were written one after another. When in reality, months or years passed between letters. Paul was a very old man by the time he had written his letters to Timothy. The age of miracles had ceased to where Paul (or Timothy or any other of the other disciples) couldn't heal anyone. So he told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. (the wine helped kill the bacteria that was causing Timothy stomach problems.)

    An occasional glass of wine is okay. Alcoholism is not.
  • Dgjot on 1 Timothy 5:12 - 2 years ago
    Donna Pittman on 1 Timothy 5:

    "The Bible seems to contradict itself sometimes. I don't understand how the world was populated by only 2 people. Where did the people come from that Able was scared would find him and kill him when he was sent into the land of nod. Incest is a sin so who had those people?. I also don't understand how we were made in Gods image when It says God is a spirit. I need help."

    The world wasn't populated by just two people. God created all the races on the 6th day. Genesis 1:26-31

    (I don't understand why people disregard this and think Adam and Eve were the only two people on the planet.)

    God rested on the 7th day.

    On the "8th" day God noticed that all the people were just hunters and gatherers. Nobody farmed the land.

    So he created Adam, then Eve. After they "ate the apple" God cast them out of the garden He created for them and they had to till the earth. Eve gave birth to Cain who tilled the land. Then Abel who tended the sheep. Cain killed Abel so God drove him away and he went and married one of the 6th-DayCreation women. By that time the 6th-Day-Creation people had multiplied greatly and there were thousands of them.

    Then Eve had another son named Seth. It was from Seth's bloodline that all the greats came (Noah, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Prophets and finally Jesus.)

    And, it was Cain (not Abel) that God sent to the land of Nod, who married and had children. Genesis 4:16-17

    God set a mark upon Cain so that people would not kill him.

    (What the "mark" is, is a hot subject to debate.)
  • Leila meadows - 2 years ago
    What is a covenant marriage as the KJV explains it? Is it better to live with a person that has been married before and than to marry her after the divorce or is either way a sin( adultery and fornication) if a divorced person remarries is the marriage not considered one that God would bless is that the divorce person gonna always be an adulteress and never considered otherwise and should never remarry.

  • Lex - 2 years ago
    I have read different explanations for the process of conversion and how importance repentance and faith are. While I know that salvation is by grace through faith, how can a person be sure their conversion is genuine? When you are born again is repentance a change of mind right? How do you know you really have faith in Jesus and not just an emotional response to a sermon or song? Is repentance accompanied by sorrow towards God or sorrow over sins? I seriously want to know because I had heard and read many different explanations and this is obviously of the utmost importance.

    There are no works that one can do to be saved but the process of conversion, I have questions. Would anyone please share their understanding or maybe even their conversion please?

    OUTBREAK: 10 OF THE WORST PANDEMICS IN HISTORY

    We all need to read THE LIST above and those death counts.

    Our personal commitments to treat Covid with respect, may keep us from contracting it. Take some extra steps to sanitize things you buy at the store. Anything that's not packaged.

    I fill the sink with water and add 1/8 cup of bleach. I wash and rinse (quick dip). raw foods & fruits, potatoes.

    Cook at safe temps. Stop eating raw seafood.

    Many get sick over holidays and the soup aisle is really germy as a result.

    Use curbside when you can. I love it.

    It's not being germaphobe. It saves you time knowing everything is clean and ready to eat.

    I get a flu shot every fall. I haven't had flu since 1996; or pneumonia.

    Biden uses everything available to feel powerful. I'm not going to cower to his nonsense threats.

    I have all my State Reps phone numbers on speed dial. They want to be re-elected, so they keep track of what people call in about. I once worked for the State; I know they want to hear from constituents. People in Texas are rallying against undocumented people crossing the border; sick with covid. If Biden cared about the USA, he would force vaccinations on them!

    There's a YouTube channel called, GEVTE. Very interesting. I guess you could call it Bible Mathematics.

    Let your teenagers watch some REVELATION STATION YouTube videos. Definitely not like the 1970's Rapture movies. Very very little dialog. What impresses you, is how suddenly the horrors of the Tribulation progress. Then

    Have a gigantic pizza night, and then open it up with your teens for questions and answers.

    We are all CALLED BY THE LORD OF THE HARVEST, to do the work of an evangelist.

    2 TIMOTHY 4:5

    You may not like those videos, because of the action and devastation,

    But what kind of movies do they see now?

    Justice League? Stuff like that?

    Why do we get bent out of shape and attack one another over translations, I find it extremely valuable in word study so I find it a blessing being amongst a dear Brother that's willing to help in the Greek and Hebrew translation whether by looking it up or by him being educated in the language.

    Jesus and the jews back in that day spoke the same language so they didn't have a translation problem,

    So when exposing False Teachers Jesus taught them to look past the exterior, and Intellectual abilities and turn your focus towards the INNER MAN.

    ( If you have the right translation and received virtue from your years of studies there should be a transformation taken place you have no control of.

    ( Here is How it's verified below. )

    Matthew 7:13-20. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

    Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

    Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

    Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

    Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

    A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

    Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

    WHEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM.

    Paul is just one of many that spoke in several languages as people do today, They were taught!

    BUT YOU CAN'T TEACH Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

    Meekness, temperance humility ect...

    If we have a Brother barring fruit willing and capable of planting let him plant!!

    It's the Holyspirit that gives the increase.

    God bless.
  • Freddy Blair on Revelation 11 - 2 years ago
    WHAT IF the first beast in Revelation is Fascism/Communism- which was wounded by the sword in WWll, yet lives-

    and the second beast is technology(the first Apple Computer was sold for $666.66-Google it) which has given the corrupt power for the first time in history to monitor every living person on the face of the earth, and can make the image of Fascism and corruption (originated to attempt to restore the Roman Empire through Benito Mussolini)?

    The second Beast(Technology) can make the image of the 1st Beast, which was wounded by the sword and did live(WWll was lost and Benito Mussolini hanged, yet his followers continued on) speak, and there is a movement now all over the world to comply with a mindset and hate is directed toward Christians the same way Hitler directed it towards the Jews. The second Beast will have the power that all who will not worship the image of the first Beast to be killed, and no one will be able to buy or sell, unless they have the mark of the 1st Beast(Fascism) which is the number of a man.

    Think about it.

    And when Christianity is no longer preached, and the Spirit of God no longer pricks the hearts of the wicked(the two witnesses) the world will celebrate and send gifts to one another, and suffer not their bodies(the churches) to be buried.

    What if? Just sayin.....

    The Sight of The True Church

    " By this shall all men know that ye are My Disciples, if ye have love to one another." John 13:35

    In God, love reaches its highest point and is the culmination of His glory. In the man Christ Jesus on the cross, love is at its highest. We owe everything to this love. Love is the power that moved Christ to die for us. In love, God highly exalted Him as Lord and Christ. Love is the power that broke our hearts, and love is the power that heals them. Love is the power through which Christ dwells in us and works in us.

    In God We Trust

  • A Generation Change - 2 years ago
    JerusalemPost dot com has some predictions of changes in Israel and The West Bank. We should keep an eye on it. Terrorist nations are feeling boldness because of Afghanistan.'

    Let's not cloud it up with our own nations's involvement; or lack of. Tune in to Book of Daniel and other prophetic chapters in the Bible.

    It was the mocker crowds in Tulsa that ground Oral Roberts into dust every single day. I lived there for 3 years, so I heard it all. I heard this one night with a crowd of Christians. The Holy Spirit in me, rose up and asked a question?

    "Will you now stone to death, a brother in the Lord?!" Apparently the HS dropped a cloud of conviction on all of us. It was rough. Orals' teachings on Daniel, Revelation and minor prophets are on YouTube. He reads scriptures and makes comment upon them. Many of the old guard is dying off. I may be next?

    I'm an evangelist, but then we are ALL CALLED to do the work of an evangelist. That's a scripture.

    Turn to the Holy Spirit fully for your needs; to be anointed for tasks.

    If the US withdraws from the Mideast (except to arm her enemies): prophesies can roll out real fast.

    This is a principle we see many times through the Bible. One generation passes away before a new move of God begins; Moses, Joshua, Saul, David, Daniel etc. Seek God with all your heart. Submit to his leadership. If God brings you to it; He'll get you through it. Teach your children well. It's a very fine line between, being a follower; and being a leader. What does, or has, the Bible taught you?

  • L - 2 years ago
    If you are concerned your heart is hardened and you do not feel sorrow over your sins, how can you check to be sure your conscience isn't seared and the Holy Spirit is still indwelling in you? I have sinned against God and had moments of fear, doubt and unbelief but though I want to repent of my sins I do not feel godly sorrow. I recognize I was doing things that were wrong but I do not know if God will grant me repentance again. This is scary. Any help with scripture would be appreciated...thanks everybody

  • Artie whitefox - 2 years ago
    I saw a sign on a storage place saying: "we are here for you." They are there for your money, not people. The advertisement is deceptive. Satan deceives. An honest sign would read: We are here for your money, and only your money. The church taught people to hate people. People are taught to love a cloth thing. Free cannot exist untill money is no more. People will demand that we use it, when God who made free is in their mind?

  • Dgjot on Genesis 16 - 2 years ago
    Wasn't Sarai Abram's sister??? Why was incest okay back in those days but not now?

    So, Sarai was faithless and didn't bother to wait on the promise of God that she would have a child, and sent her handmaid Hagar the Egyptian into Abram, and because of her faithlessness, she had Ishmael/ his descendants and we are all plagued with the wicked Mozlems, who have been on a murdering Jihad against everyone- Jew and Gentile alike for over 1400 years.

    Good going, Sarai.

    This also reminds me of Lot's faithless daughters who, after being led out of Sodom by Angels, didn't have enough faith to believe that God would find them husbands, and laid with their own father to get children.

    Sick puppies.

    I know that the will of God must be first and foremost. I also know that God held back a pure remnant of people that Jesus would eventually come from.

    The more I try to understand, the more confused I get.
  • WHEN THE WORLD LOOKS DARKEST mishael - 2 years ago
    If you really want to understand the process God used to get back Adams Mandate, that he lost because of the Garden of Eden incident

    Listen to Charles Capps (a Texan like me, Yall)

    On YouTube, Titled: THE AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER. The whole thing!

    So if some of you are depressed, you think the world is going to blazes on a hellfire rocket? It all looks hopeless our government is trying to buy our souls with "free" stimulus checks and close down our churches, force us to get shots etc

    How would you like to hit Satan right between his little goat eyeballs? Terrorize demons the minute you wake up in the morning and put your feet on the floor? If you can't walk, just the Word of God in your heart and mouth is lethal

    All Jesus had to do was say: LEAVE

    Demons scattered, jumped into pigs that immediately drowned themselves, etc

    Jesus quoted SCRIPTURES to Satan and defeated ALL of satans temptations.

    Satan and his demon angels DO NOT have bodies of their own. They are not human. They have to borrow a body to get around. Satan will possess Antichrist's body until he's done with it. Scripture says the antichrist spirit is everywhere in the world. We're seeing that aren't we?

    Depressing huh?

    Yeah, they're doing a good job of depressing us. HOWEVER THEY ARE OUTLAW SPIRITS. THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITYBUT WE DO :D

    IF you want to fight to win, then go find out what God gave us to fight with, while in the Armor of God. The SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, is the SCRIPTURES OF THE WORD OF GOD IN YOUR MOUTH. This ain't Star Wars with light sabers!!

    IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT BELIEVES GOD GAVE US THE BEST WEAPONS TO USE? THEN TEACH IT. Arise, take up your sword, unite with the BODY OF CHRIST ON EARTH. Jesus gave his everything to EQUIP US. Where are His Intercessors? Hedge builders, Gap Guards, Watchman? Joel chapter 2: men and women!!

    I dare you to believe the whole Word of God.

    Turn up your volume! Take back our country!

    You will walk in victory!
  • Virgil - 2 years ago
    Lately, and again, I have been studying the end time events described in the Bible.

    I am convinced that America's days are numbered, close to our visitation. We will not withstand an attack from Russia, China, but yet we will continue to bomb, thumb our noses at the rest of the world in provocation. The world has caught up to America and has surpassed it. Just one Sarmat missile will remove a chunk of earth the size of Texas.

    Our Govt, our politicians, our police operate a brutal and broken system. Who other than America is that great city that God despises, and commissions to complete and utter destruction? This is not symbolism, this is what's on the way for the inhabitants of earth when the man of sin is revealed.

    For those who don't take this seriously, you will, come the flame. Our leaders are devils presiding over modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. The corruption has reached high heaven, our reckoning is almost here. American's are the first to say how awful things are with govt without any idea that they are Mystery Babylon, taken by surprise, in a preempted strike....they say it's impossible that God would come up against us; He will. I can tell you that God despises lawless America to the double.

    You should accept that 2.5 B+ people die that day when America is taken, when Satan comes of age to collect on his half of the deal. Trillions weren't spent on arms for nothing. Trees that stood for a thousand years, suddenly will fall. Israel will not escape the sword either, a 70 AD re-boot will run through them. Never fear, it will put humanity much closer to the return of Jesus Christ, so the eradication is a welcomed advancement. His will will be done.
