  • Paul Goldberg on Judges 7 - 3 years ago
    Is Herod Antipas the King spoken of in Acts 12?
  • Names and Places of Hell on Genesis 3 - 3 years ago
    Some believe that while Jesus' body was in the tomb, His spirit was in hell.Scripture doesn't support that position when it is taken in context and we look at the meaning of the word "hell." In the Old Testament, the place of the dead or the place of departed souls was called "SHEOL." It was to this place that all souls of the dead went to await resurrection.

    In the New Testament, we find the story of Lazarus and the rich man who both died and went to Hades ( Luke 16:19-31). The KJV translates the Greek word "hades" as hell but most other translations use the Greek word. HADES had two separated parts: Those who died in faith believing in God's promise waited for the resurrection in Abraham's Bosom. Those who died spiritually separated from God wait in torment for the resurrection unto death, eternal separation from God. The rich man was on the torment side and Lazarus was in ABRAHAMS BOSOM which was called "PARADISE" by the LORD Jesus Christ himself when He addressed the thief who found faith the day Jesus was crucified ( Luke 23:42-43)

    For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment" ( 2 Peter 2:4). The word translated "HELL" here is not the Greek word "HADES" but is the Greek word "TARTARUS" meaning ABYSS or the lowest regions. This could very well be the "gulf" that was fixed between the PLACE OF TORMENT and Abraham's Bosom ( Luke 16:26).

    Wherefore He saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fulfill all things" ( Ephesians 4:8-10). Leading captivity captive seems to refer to Jesus taking all those that waited in Paradise, to heaven to be with Him. The descending into the "lower parts" then refers to Jesus declaring Victory.

  • The Death of Stephen on Esther 2 - 3 years ago
    Are you saying, that as Stephen was being stoned to death (under Paul's supervision);

    Jesus who is SEATED at the right hand of God, STOOD up as Steven died. Acts 7:55-56

    The Bible says he's seated, but in this event He stood up... ? Anyone wanna bet that Steven did not descend to a place of holding. After this event, Paul was blinded, knocked off his horse, and questioned by Jesus, "why are you persecuting ME?!"

    Acts 6:8

    And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

    Acts 6:9

    Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

    Acts 7:59

    And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my SPIRIT.

    Acts 8:2

    And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

    Acts 11:19

    Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

    Acts 22:20

    And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also (Saul) was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.

    There's is no doubt that Stephens spirit is in heaven now.

    Note: Acts 5:29-33

  • Susan on Matthew 3 - 3 years ago
    Baptized unto repentance/ for repentance

  • Rev Jack C Gutknecht on Philippians 3 - 3 years ago
    Do you love these hymn lyrics as I do? (Based on Philippians 3:8)

    LORD JESU, WHEN WE STAND AFAR

    "I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord." Philippians 3:8

    Lord Jesu, when we stand afar

    And gaze upon Thy holy cross,

    In love of Thee, and scorn of self,

    O may we count the world as loss
  • Clinton Wieneke on Revelation 2 - 3 years ago

  • Sandra Jordan on Genesis 19:20 - 3 years ago

  • Susan on Genesis 3 - 3 years ago
    Where in the Bible do it say about a woman taking care of her husband
  • Darren Croft on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Ezekiel 21:10 "It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree."

    God has a sense of humor in preparation for Babylon's desolation. I hope God plucks every tree in America by the roots.
  • Dave East on Genesis 3 - 3 years ago
    What is the meaning of the word circumsision
  • Patrick Croukamp on John 2:13 - 3 years ago
    how many times did JESUS go to Jerusalem specifically for Passover? i only see once; and yet all men are called to attend 3 feasts in Jerusalem annually. It seems HE only preached for a year and a bit?
  • Darren Croft on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    -What did God mean when He said He would punish both houses of Israel (house of Israel & house of Judah) 7 times if they did not obey? Leviticus 26:18 "And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins." What does that prophesy have to do with a split Israel?

    -What was the blessings Jacob laid upon the sons of Joseph in Gen 48?

    -What nations did Ephraim & Manasseh & Judah become?

    -Who are the birthright people?

    -When did the house of Israel go into captivity?

    -When did the house of Judah go into captivity?

    Knowing the answers will reveal who these people are today.

    It's enlightening to see prophesy unfold, and know it.
  • Paul Goldberg on Genesis 3 - 3 years ago
    In Matthew 2:19 King Herod dies. But in Acts 12:23 it states that King Herod died. Is this the same King Herod or two different King Herods?
  • Sarah Haynes on Ecclesiasticus 3:4 - 3 years ago

  • Genesis caution Cains curse Last Days on Isaiah 41 - 3 years ago
    Reply to Ron:

    It's all over the Bible, in different places: search the words: 'upside down'. However it has NOTHING to do with "Old Earth Theory" about creation. That's a cult.

    People get confused with carbon dating. (my opinion)

    The Bible which is a record of ONE person: Jesus; the Word of God. Genesis to Revelation leads up to the end of this age. 2 Peter: earth will burn up.

    What scientists have long sought to explain=

    Time, Force, Action, Matter, can all be explained in Genesis 1:1. How did it happen and WHO did it? The Godhead: the Father, the Word of God, the Spirit.

    The First thing God created, was TIME. "In Beginning". John 1:2-5, Hebrews 1:1-16. Time began to tick for Creation and Man.

    God Wills it

    The Son ( Hebrews 1:5), The Word, speaks it

    The Spirit performs it

    Mishael: this is enough to get you on track with what happened in Genesis the first day. Get a study Bible that has Center Column references to further explanation (has tiny abc's imbedded in the scriptures). You don't need secular books to read this and understand better.

    We need to understand that Satan and the 1/3 of his followers were thrown down to earth. There was war in heaven. That's what happened to Cain. His hateful heart opened a door. "They are, who found the daughters of Adam and Eve, desirable."

    Until Jesus returns to earth, demonic activity will increase.

    "Garnish your house" (you) with the Bible, Prayer and don't open doors to ungodly influences. The "falling away" is speeding up. Know what the "apostasy" is.

    Keep your "oil of the joy of the Holy Spirit", topped off. (Ten virgins parable)

    Cain is not in Geneology because of the curse.

    John 8:44

    Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he (Satan) speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

  • Jeremiah J Gono on Numbers 8 - 3 years ago
    What is the role of husband in the King James book
  • WILLIE BROWN on Esther 2 - 3 years ago
    How did God use Esther's position as queen to reverse the plan of wicked Haman?
  • Dawn Dodgen on Numbers 8 - 3 years ago
    If Cain is Adam's son, then why is Cain's genealogy different than Adam's, and in John 8:44 Christ, speaking to the scribes and Pharisees, "Ye are of your father the devil.... he was a murderer from the beginning...."? Eve was "beguiled" - (Gr. exapatao) wholly seduce by the serpent, or Satan.

    Cain, in God's Word, is the first murderer.
  • Sharon Bryant on Numbers 8 - 3 years ago
    Mark 5: 43. He commanded them strictly that no one should know it,

    Why Jesus told them not to tell anyone? Is it because, of His purpose of timeline or the timing need to follow God's way to reach his mission by cross. or. Allow us to believe in him cuz of our sins..

    What if he allowed for the to disclose it... then. people will continue to seek him...which might have slowed him down?

  • ERECHCHRIST NIMROD on Isaiah 54 - 3 years ago
    This is your website to rule as you wish, but why are there no pictures of People of color pictured as LOVING CHILDREN of Father God??? Genesis 1:27 teaches you and the world that the human race is made in the image of Father God. The entire human race does not have white skin. Variety is Father God's Way.

    Isaiah 54:13-14 "And all thy CHILDREN shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy CHILDREN. In Righteousness [Right-Thinking] shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee."
