Often we see the phrase of : "of the glory of God" as in Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." To me, it could mean the time to be with my Lord in Heaven home? The final stop?
To all you people arguing about length of days and whatnot I say WHO CARES! Is that the type of stuff you think is important when reading the Bible?? If so you need to check yourself and start over people.
I like the ways this bible state it." Find a good spouse, you find a good life - and even more: the favor of God". I'm not a young woman but my daughter is. And I want God do this for us sent good men in our life.(smile) I'm selling some land but my neighbor is making matter very hard for me. The selling of the land would increase our homes value but I can't made her understand this. I want God to let her and her children see this very soon. Because I'm going to sell the land. My son is a very hard worker so it my daughter and I am too. I have two grandchildren too. I want God to give us our heart desire. I love this saying "Do your best, prepare for the worst-then trust God to bring victory. Praise God and Jesus Christ and the Spirit. Thank you for praying for us.
Can any one help me with this please ? If Christians go to heaven after death why does Jesus say the meek shall inherit the earth ? Any ideas any one ? Thankyou .
S Spencer on spiritual fornication on Matthew 7 - 3 years ago
Thank you Chris on those great verses on fornication you gave. You presented it as a broken relationship between "two" it made me think of a key word in marriage, "Joined". (To be yoked together). That brings me to also think of spiritual fornication, If fornication was any other way than the way you described it, we wouldn't understand the meaning of spiritual fornication. I believe God gives us marriage not just for barring children, but to communicate Christ relationship to the church, and Gods relationship to Israel. Not to mention how would we understand the book of Hosea? We see often in the old testament God called Israel his wife and he was a husband to them. Here is one of many:
Isaiah 54:4-5. Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. Here is one of many verses Israel committing fornication, Jeremiah 3:8. And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. Fornication defined properly is essential to understanding scripture.
I love Hebrews 2:14 in the King James Bible, but I also love the 2 verses beginning in Hebrews 2:14 (The Message).
The Message (MSG)
14-15 Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it's logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil's hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death.
What is the meaning that Jesus made clay from his spittle and earth, and then applied it to the blindman eye to make him see? What is the deeper meaning? His spittle is God's spittle that is mixed with earth to make the clay; so what is the deeper meaning of all this?
Verse 32-35 says; that the earth open up and swallowed them because they provoked the Lord, so did these people soul ended up in hell? I thank God for His mercy and Grace that he has not open up the earth upon us, we are living in some evil times, seems like some people act like that they are beyond death, we all got to see God and give in account of all of our deeds, good, or bad. I believe the end time is near, and closer than what some of us think.
Hello brothers and sisters. I'm asking a question about Salvation. I'm a new Christian. I have a KJV bible and have been reading it everyday in depth trying learn more of what I must due to be truly saved as well as my Catholic wife. It has been brought to my attention that in the book of John, water baptism is different from a spiritual baptism? I know I am not Jewish and so I don't think a water baptism applies to me to be saved, after reading Ephesians by Paul. It seems to me that maybe churches that say I must be baptized in water to be saved is false? I'm new to Christianity, and I'm asking due to my ignorance of understanding the bible. I know that Jesus was coming to save the Jews and so maybe their Salvation is different from Gentiles, aka Me and my wife? I would love to have someone let me know how to truly be saved because I suffered spiritual attacks from being a philosopher and learning about eastern religions and free masonry. Thank you!
I want you to give me all the verses that talk about fornication (premarital sex) because i want to show an atheist that it is a sin. Thank you use my email.
my grandson and i were talking about drinking and smoking pot and he asked me if it was wrong? he then brought up about a deacon having a little wine and the pastor none. i told him i did not want him to drink, but if he did he must remember what goes in and what comes out. a couple of beers and then you go to bed, i don't see any harm, but would one or two lead to three or four tomorrow? pot has been used down through history by many groups of people to perform releigous services or used in medical healing. however, what was used was called hemp without the thc. if you do smoke you must again remember what goes in and what comes out. are you going to drink to get drunk? cause trouble, hurt someone both physical or mentally? the same with pot. are you going to just mellow out or sin? many have gotten high and had sex with strangers and the next day not remembering anything, but a few days later you go to the doctor and have a disease. what if it is one that there is no cure for? my advice if you do use it, stay at home where youare with those you can trust. i also told him his body was gods temple.
what can you tell me about the pastor drinking no wine and the deacon a little wine? is it ok for the congregation to drink? what would you tell a almost nineteen-year-old?
thank you for your time and help. i pray asking our heavenly father to watch over and bless you all and your families and friends, keeping all of you safe and well every day and every night!
I have a question about Christian living. My wife and I rent a nice mobile home on our property to our neighbors mother. Years ago because we were trying to be friendly and they asked for help we set the rent low, about half of what we can get. Because of the set up we have no way to meter water and electric so it's a flat rent. Well for the last few years the neighbors wait until we go to church and they bring over all their laundry to use in our rental. I want to put a stop to it. My wife believes we would set a bad example as Christians, I keep going back and forth. I see it that we're being used. Please guide me. Thank You.

Lord almighty, give the word!
Give the word! in every nation
Let the Gospel trumpet sound,
Witnessing a world's salvation,
To the earth's remotest bound.
Then the end! Thy Church completed,
All Thy chosen gathered in, ...

"This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." Matthew 24:14
Then the end! Thy Church completed,
All Thy chosen gathered in,
With their King in glory seated,
Satan bound, and banished sing
