7/29/2021 I'm just curious- When Jesus talked about all those scary things happening in the end days, was He talking about those things happening nowadays (20th/21st Century) or was He talking about those things happening sometime closer to after He was crucified/resurrected/ascended???
I always thought that Luke 21 was for future readers (us) but some of those things already happened years ago.
The world as we know it, is sliding down on a greased pole into hell.
How much of Luke 21 is directed towards the believers that lived thousands of years ago and how much of it is directed towards us living in the here and now?????
As a believer saved Holy Ghost fill baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. As Paul and Timothy suffer persecution, trials and their circmstances as they preach the doctrine of Jesus Christ. THE QUESTION I'm really concerns me is the suffering that Jesus Christ went through and the suffering that, I'm facing through my adversity now why do we have to suffer as Jesus Christ did. I truly need words of encouragement about how God will deliver me through my adversity.
Does anyone have a suggestion on a Commentary other than Matthew Henry ?.Would like to have three or more Commentaries to compare and get a singleness of thought..
It is extremely important that we don't misuse or alter the Word of God . Genesis Ch2 V16&17 . In the KJV RV thou shalt surely die is translated as : dying thou shalt die , this is worthy of investigation but it's not where I'm going right now . Then we go to Ch3 V3 ,Eve's response : neither shall ye touch it , lest ye die . Why did Eve believe this to be so ? Adam must have said this to her , he added to God's word , when Eve touched the fruit and didn't die that must have made her doubt what Adam had said to her , God didn't tell Eve not to eat the fruit or touch it ,Adam did and he added to God's Word ,therefore giving the serpent a foot in the door to beguile Eve , when we misuse the Word of God we can give occasion to the serpent , to beguile others and maybe even ourselves . What would the world be like now if Adam hadn't said to Eve : neither shall ye touch it , lest ye die ? It's an earth changing moment . Later on in V12 of Ch3 ,Adam has the affrontary to try and blame God for creating Eve ! Eve in V13 gives a straight forward and honest account of what happened and her confession is an honest one .
Can a person who believes in God, believes in Jesus, believes the bible is true, and goes to church still be considered an atheist? I would love to hear some of your thoughts about who an atheist is before I share my thoughts on the word atheist.
Regarding "unblameable" in First Thessalonians 3:13 = This adjective means morally faultless. The truest application of this adjective means GOD justifies the repenting sinner (e.g. Rom. 3:24; 5:1; etc.) when the sinner trusts in, and believes on, JESUS CHRIST as his LORD and SAVIOR. The adjective "unblameable" means GOD no longer holds the redeemed guilty of their past sins.
This characteristic does not mean without accusations from the world, for the world is quick to accuse GOD's saints to harm or destroy their reputation (e.g. Mt. 12:10; Ac. 24:2; 1Pet. 3:16).
Satan is the father of these accusations, for "there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it" ( Jn. 8:44). Satan is the ever-present "accuser of our brethren which accused them before our GOD day and night" ( Rev. 12:10).
The adjective "unblameable" means although accused, those whom CHRIST reconciles are guiltless of all false and unprovable accusations as Paul proclaimed in another epistle ( Rom. 8:33): "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of GOD's elect? It is GOD that justifieth."

Jesus said we should count the cost of discipleship. He warns us to make sure you have enough to finish. This He follows up with the joy in heaven, when a lost soul has been found! Not completely understanding Him ,once again wondering what he means! I find myself wondering, why hating this life in hope for the one He has prepared for us makes any sense at all! Why is salvation necessary in this world, for a new world without sin too come? This new heaven and earth He speaks of, is it here ? Or is it somewhere else? Faith in His word, is the cement needed to finish! Without it you will not finish! Many will be lost because of it, straying even farther from His word! I confess, that my flesh does war against my spirit, constantly provoking me to unfaithfulness! I will wait on the Lord!!!!
Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Are we willing to step out in faith for Christ?
Is it Biblical and does it pleases God?
Thank you.
