  • Pray This Chapter For Unsaved Loved Ones - 2 years ago
    Comment by Mishael: God had purposed to kill the idol worshippers, BUT, Moses interceded on their behalf. It says God changed his mind. (He does hear our prayers for people)

    The LORD's next statement to Moses is dramatic and terrifying: "Now let me alone, so that . . . I may consume them" (32:10). The LORD plans to destroy all the Israelites there in the wilderness and end the whole experiment with God's chosen people. Moreover, the LORD makes Moses a tempting offer: "I will make you a great nation" (32:10). In effect, the LORD offers to Moses the chance to become a new Abraham, the sole originator of a whole new people who will be a substitute for the destroyed Israelites (see Genesis 12:1-3).

    Moses' Intercession:

    Moses denies himself the opportunity to become a new Abraham. Instead, Moses prays and intercedes for Israel with three strong reasons why the LORD should not carry out the planned destruction of the Israelites.

    1. Remember, these are not my people. They are "your people," LORD, whom "you brought out . . . of Egypt" (32:11).

    2. Destroying your own people, Israel, in the wilderness would be bad for your international reputation. What would the Egyptians say? (32:12)

    3. Remember the promises of land and descendants that you made to Abraham, Isaac and Israel/Jacob long ago. You always keep your promises! (32:13)

    Moses had not always been successful in changing God's mind in the past (see the call of Moses in Exodus 3:7-4:17). But advocating for others, denying one's own interests, and appealing to the mercy of God has a particularly powerful effect that God takes very seriously. In this case, remarkably, in response to Moses' prayer, "the LORD changed his mind about the disaster that he planned to bring on his people" (32:14).

    As it happened, they wandered 40 yrs until the older generation died and were buried; on the Egypt side of the Jordan River.

    Why at the end of 2 Corinthians does your bible say it was written by Titus and Lucas, when it was written by Paul?

    Please pray for those enduring the heat wave in the NW USA and Western Canada. I pray the frail and elderly endure this with minimum loss of life. Many don't have any air conditioning so this is especially worrisome.
  • Peter Vink on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    To whom it may concern,

    I would like to know what is the difference between God "made" and God "created". in the book of Genesis.

    Just thinking aloud:

    "To make" could mean; to shape and give it form and function

    "To created" could mean; to make it appear, to create something, like an artwork, it doesn't need to have a function or a purpose.

    I would like more clarity on these two words,

    Are the words different in the original language and or do they mean the same and why are there two words used?

    Thank you so much.
  • Melvin on Luke 4 - 2 years ago
    In the fourth commandment of the ten commandments, GOD says REMEMBER THE SABBATH AND KEEP IT HOLY, My question is, what day is the actual day of the sabbath. The bible says GOD created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th... and we are also to use that day as the sabbath. Now it is said since the aposile gathered on the first day(after CHRIST death and resurection) we now worship the sabbath on the first day. Should I beleive in what the Apostles did and worship on a first-day sabbath or should I listen to what the word of GOD says in the old trstement? PLEASE help me because I want to do whay's right. 1rst day sabbath or 7th day sabbath and please explain to me why.

  • Rev Bob Blaine on Luke 16:22 - 2 years ago
    In Luke 16:22, when Lazurus died, he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom! The rich man died also and was buried! The Bible says nothing about Lazurus body being buried, what happened to this beggars body?

    I know his spirit and soul were in Paradise, but it puzzles me why no burial of his body is mentioned? Thank you

  • Sandra Love on Luke 8 - 2 years ago
    Who gave Jesus the cloak that the Roman soldiers cast lots for? Did Jesus mother make it for him? Or was it given to Jesus by the soldiers who flagged him?
  • David seaver on Jeremiah 30 - 2 years ago

    Why is hell called herself?
  • Bob - 2 years ago
    The Bible uses the terms "soul" and "spirit" interchangeably. Jesus said: fear then that can kill both body & soul...........

    Scholars say the soul is our consciousness, the spirit our connection to God.

    When the soul dies, does the spirit die? Do the soul and spirit share anything in common.
  • The Law and the Prophets - 2 years ago
    The 2 witnesses (against us and for us) has always been:

    The LAW and the PROPHETS. GOD'S WORD.

    Moses and Elijah.

    If we cannot perceive Gods Laws, and Receive the Prophetic Voice of God (through Jesus and others)

    We have scales over our eyes and our ears do not hear TRUTH.

    He is the Good Shepherd and we are his sheep. His sheep KNOW his voice. Another voice they will NOT follow.

    Scripture is reliable just as it is. We don't need to dress it up with opinions to make it more presentable. We will be judged by every vain word we have spoken out of our mouth.

    It is not vain, to not understand every mystery. Childlike trust impresses God. He told us how to become born again. Do that and your house will be built upon The Rock which is Jesus Christ; the Son of God.

    God told Lots wife, turn from it, do not look at it. If we ponder upon the Falling Away, and the Apostasy of the Church: it may turn our walk with the Savior, to stone.

    Psalm 23, He is your Shepherd. Stay close to Him.

    Think about what you are building with. Wood, Hay, Stubble? Our God is a consuming fire. Selah

  • Norman Walker - 2 years ago
    I would like to ask another question that people do not talk about much. How many of you have had God answer your prayer and you knew it had to be him that did it? For some reason no one talks about answered prayers. Thanks! I forgot I saw on face book today that this site is for sale? Why? It may not be true?
  • Norman Walker - 2 years ago
    I just had something happen on face book that has not happened many times but I was praising God and a woman made a comment to me that God was not real and the Bible was just a fake book that is not true and the first thing that came to mind was I feel sorry for you on judgement day! I think that the devil is doing all this and only true believers will make it to heaven! I have never seen God but I have felt him standing by my bed several times and felt him in the room. He has also answered a prayer for me one time that was really important and in 5 min. the problem was solved and no one would have known what it was! Amen. Point is this world is turning out just like God said it would and it is at the fastest pace that I have ever seen! The Bible is getting fulfilled more and more every day so I sure do not know but the time is getting near I think. No one knows when Jesus is coming back! Just wanted to share this because the woman that said that really opened up my eyes to what is going on! Amen

  • Sacha - 2 years ago
    Hi ,can any one help please ? The Bible i use most does not have the words of Christ in red , im reading the gospel of John ,ch3 v13 , i decide to look up the word "heaven " in my strongs concordance which puts the words of Christ in bold face type , according to my concordance ,the words "even the Son of man which is in heaven " are not spoken by Christ but must have been part of Johns narrative , so ive looked in a Bible that puts the word of Christ in red and those words from John ch3 v13 are in red . So can anyone tell me for sure ,if the final clause of John ch3 v13 are the words of Jesus or John ,thankyou .

    Your Comment...Haran the son of Terah has how many children?
  • Izuku Midoriya on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    Brother Jesse Tacker, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding. Hebrews 1:3 Who (Christ) being the brightness of his (the Father's) glory, and the express image of His (the Father's) person, and upholding all things by the word of his (the Father's) power, when he (Christ) by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on High. Revelation 3:14 ....The beginning of creation.... Christ was the FIRST MAN and he is GOD. The beginning (the first man) and the ending (the last man). Psalms 82:6 I (God) have said, Ye are gods, the children of the most high. John 10:34 Jesus answered them, is it not WRITTEN in your law, I said, Ye are gods? John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom (CHRIST IN YOU) the word of God came unto; and the scripture cannot be broken; Christ is CREATING Sons of God; exactly like him, when he is finished we will be gods just as he is. Romans 8:29 ....To be conformed to the IMAGE of his Son .... Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be IN YOU which was ALSO IN Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD. The saints cannot rule and judge the world without being EXACTLY like God. Isaiah 32:1 Behold a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgement." View & Reply

  • Wesley Smith on John 1:12 - 2 years ago
    It's said that God closes doors no man can open and opens doors no man can close.

    The question I propose is this. When you are given an open door and you go through, after you cross the threshold is it your responsibility to close that door behind you?
  • Kenneth Tipton on Romans 7 - 2 years ago
    I have gone so deep in sin that I am ashamed to ask the Lord Jesus to help me. I am so alone and afraid. The "Prodigal Son" would be ashamed to be seen with me and that only the least of my shame.
  • Lex - 2 years ago
    Does double mindedness mean that a person is a believer but acting carnally or does it mean that a person is struggling between faith and unbelief? I have submitted a similar question before and have been concerned about this matter for a while. Does anyone have scripture and insights on this?

    In my concerns about falling away and having thoughts of doubt and unbelief I have been thinking about the seal of the Holy Spirit and what is written in Romans 14:5. If anyone would please provide insight I would seriously appreciate it.

  • Abraham Diing chol - 2 years ago
    Why did Almighty God take Enok and Elijah alive to heaven yet He said that everyman born by a woman must face death as one of the punishments he gave to Adam and Eve during the time of the forbidden fruit disobedience........... Now Heaven is a peaceful place for spirits but this two men were taken even with their natural and physical bodies yet Jesus son of God also went through this punishment but He overcame it

    Question: Now that were in the "Dispensation of

    the Grace of God", are the spiritual gifts (prophecy, healing, tongues, etc.) Also put on

    hold along with the Kingdom message ?
  • Norman Walker - 2 years ago
    I get a little side tracked on some things but John 3:16 says if you believe in Christ you will have ever lasting life. It does not say you have to do anything else. It is very very plain spoken. So what do you all think of that?
  • Donna Franks on Romans 12:2 - 2 years ago
    Micah 6:8 - He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

    John 7:17 - If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

    As we yield our members, servants to obey, we are led by His life in us.

    Walking not according to this world, but weighing everying thing in view of eternity.

    Christ in you, the hope of GLORY. Not willing that any should perish, we, by HIS GRACE bring light, transforming light must begin.....

    ..... that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

    Ephesians 5:17 - Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
  • Saint Michael - 2 years ago
    If according to the Old Testament God the Father created evil, then does it not follow that a part of God's nature contains evilness?
  • SARAH DENNIS on Matthew 14 - 2 years ago
    My Question Is. (1) What traits of peter's faith during his time learning from Jesus are admirable. Which needed further growth. (2) What should the Christian response be when skeptics try to rationalize away the miraculous works Jesus performed. Thank You.
