God said that Jesus was his Son . If you make Jesus out to be more than that is that not a stretch ? Why did God say Jesus was his son only ? Let's be honest did God lie ? We know He does not lie .
Yes I'm like you most when my first reaction to this chapter was that God condones slavery? But if I think of it as a Boss (Master) and employee (servants), it is more acceptable. Think about it, there was no capitalism back them. No jobs like we have today. What would people do back then for work?
Great viewpoints that others had where it kept society in check minimizing crime. Eye for an eye, etc.
Hello ,can people tell me what they think hell is please ? Who ends up there ? Everyone who has never been baptized ? Hindus ? Babies ? Muslims ? Im very confused and cant actually find out much about it from the actual Bible .Thankyou .
There are many, many, parallels in the book of Enoch to the Holy Bible.
In "The Book of Parables" from Enoch it elaborates on the Son of Man, The Chosen One, or Messiah(I believe Jesus Christ) to be with, or in the presence of, The Most High, Lord of Spirits, or Ancient "Head" of Days(I believe God Almighty).
And at that hour that Son of Man was named, in the presence of the Lord of Spirits, and His name brought to the Head of Days.
Even before the sun and the constellations were created, before the stars of Heaven were made, His name was named in front of the Lord of Spirits.
He will be a staff to the righteous and the Holy, so that they may lean on Him and not fall, and He will be the Light of the Nations, and He will be the hope of those who grieve in their hearts.
All those who dwell upon the dry ground will fall down and worship in front of Him, and they will bless, and praise the name of the Lord of Spirits.
And because of this He was chosen, and hidden in front of Him, before the World was created, and forever.
For the Chosen One stands in front of the Lord of Spirits. As His Glory is for ever and ever, and His Power for all generations.
You powerful kings who dwell upon the dry ground will be obliged to watch my Chosen One sit down on the throne of My Glory, and judge, in the Name of the Lord of Spirits
And in Him dwell the Spirit of wisdom, and the Spirit of understanding, and the Spirit of knowledge and power, and the Spirit of righteousness.
And He will judge the things that are secret, and no one will be able to say an idle word in front of Him, for He has been chosen in front of the Lord of Spirits, in accordance with His wish.
For He is powerful in all the secrets of righteousness and iniquity will pass away like a shadow, and will have no existence; for the Chosen One stands in front of the Lord of Spirits and His Glory is for ever and ever, and His Power for all generations.
According to the church. All things that come out of it! There are way, way, too many interpretations. Since we live in a free nation we will be subject unto these . However ,Prior to the fall of Rome, mediately before and after, the word became the truest and most convincing. The Holy Spirit will always do the the work , we are remiss too do! God is merciful, and will finish the work that needs to be done! His ways are past understanding. Pray, I say Pray, that His will be done! We have a beautiful new church whos doors are closed? When can I see IT!
There 'IS' a time to answer a fool as the very next verse says in Proverbs 26:5, "..lest he become puffed up (or wise) in his conceit/deceit.." Amen? Amen!
by so doing we truly become Christ like or 'Christian'. Search the scriptures ( John 5:39) and see how Jesus responded to his accusers. Meek is strength (in The Lord) & not weak!
God is King right now. You will know Him and His Son before this virus is over. The world will end all of a sudden. Where will you be? The Light of God will Brighten the Darkness that is playing mind games with the world's way of people. Watch..Be Ready...
I am looking for the best way to learn haw to put on the whole armor of God without going through the whole Bible.what pieces of armor and what do they signify shield helmet and the rest
I cant seem to find the answer to my question about ... Should I get my debts paid off first with lesser tithing or pay my 10% +, and make my payoffs take longer ?
I saw your advertisement on Pluto TV. I have a question. I am not a Christian. I had a friend who is. What do you do when you have a friend who claims to be a Christian, who is a racist apologist? I stopped talking to her when we were in our 20's, back about 1987, because she was homophobic, and I am gay. About five years ago, we reconnected, and she claimed to have changed and was no longer homophobic. We had a very pleasant relationship. Until Covid struck the land. Then I started to see some philosophical differences. Ordinarily, these could be ignored. But things got tense, because we weren't disagreeing about an ordinary Republican president, but Trump, who did not behave in a remotely Christian manner, in my opinion. Not that she defended him, mind you. I just think that him being president made it easier for some Republicans to rationalize alot of bad behavior.
When the BLM protests got hot and heavy, she began to make alot of comments and strange connections, like there were bricks piled up in various locations all over her town, so therefore the BLM protesters must be planning on rioting and setting fires in her neighborhood. Then she started making comments rationalizing slavery and downplaying racism. I never called her racist/apologist. I made an appointment to talk to her about some points that I requested she meditate upon. When the day arrived, we talked and I tried to teach her using two allegories from my life as an abused child and a gay woman. She just argued, minimized and rationalized, and when it was obvious I wouldn't entertain her obfuscations, she said I was being abusive and controlling. A few weeks later she wasn't upset anymore and wanted to talk to me, but I can't get over it. I feel very betrayed. I thought she learned something after being homophobic and I quit talking to her. I thought she had changed. What do you do when so-called Christians don't act very Christian?
Isn't there a passage somewhere in the bible that speaks to men being deceived by Satin and thereby blinded to the truth. And they believe lies as truths and truths as lies?
In the beginning GOD ......
The answer to many many questions if understood the infinite meaning of the opening statement of Gods word , love it !
Great viewpoints that others had where it kept society in check minimizing crime. Eye for an eye, etc.
[Jam 1:19] Everyone Should Be Quick To Listen
Everyone should be quick to listen-hear now and heed-
Slow to speak, also slow to anger in word and deed.
Anger does not yield a life praised by the Lord,
So get rid of all sin and humbly accept God's Word.
If you listen, but do not practice, you'll go astray,
Like a man who looks in a mirror, then goes away.
You must keep looking; God's Word will set you free.
Don't forget what you've heard, but do it, and blessed you'll be.
If you think you're a model Christian, yet speak too free,
If your tongue has no rein, faith's worthless; you've been deceived.
Here's faith the Father accepts as pure and true:
Help the needy, keep from defilement in all you do.
WHAT DO U THINK OF THIS HYMN?
In "The Book of Parables" from Enoch it elaborates on the Son of Man, The Chosen One, or Messiah(I believe Jesus Christ) to be with, or in the presence of, The Most High, Lord of Spirits, or Ancient "Head" of Days(I believe God Almighty).

All those who dwell upon the dry ground will fall down and worship in front of Him, and they will bless, and praise the name of the Lord of Spirits.
And because of this He was chosen, and hidden in front of Him, before the World was created, and forever.
For the Chosen One stands in front of the Lord of Spirits. As His Glory is for ever and ever, and His Power for all generations.
You powerful kings who dwell upon the dry ground will be obliged to watch my Chosen One sit down on the throne of My Glory, and judge, in the Name of the Lord of Spirits
And in Him dwell the Spirit of wisdom, and the Spirit of understanding, and the Spirit of knowledge and power, and the Spirit of righteousness.
And He will judge the things that are secret, and no one will be able to say an idle word in front of Him, for He has been chosen in front of the Lord of Spirits, in accordance with His wish.
For He is powerful in all the secrets of righteousness and iniquity will pass away like a shadow, and will have no existence; for the Chosen One stands in front of the Lord of Spirits and His Glory is for ever and ever, and His Power for all generations.
If God and Jesus are the same who is this?
by so doing we truly become Christ like or 'Christian'. Search the scriptures ( John 5:39) and see how Jesus responded to his accusers. Meek is strength (in The Lord) & not weak!
Kol tuv i.e. be well :-)
