Why do people claim a day of rest on a pagan calendar? Saturday is the day for he god Saturn just as Sunday is the day for the sun god. Why not use the 7th day of the week on the calendar GOD created ?
Scriptures on Grace and Mercy on Psalms 103 - 3 years ago
Good Samaritan Luke 10:30-47
The Poor and Needy; Matthew 25:35-40
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat:
I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me:
I was sick, and ye visited me:
I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME.
What is the difference between the King James Bible (1611) and the Geneva Bible (1560) in terms of the first chapter:Genesis? And why the difference can be important?
In Matthew 15 verse 26, I don't know the right words to explain what "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to the dogs
A muslim was arguing with me at first that Jesus had called the woman a dog and I proved he didn't then he wanted me to explain what the above passage means, I am new in Christ so would like to ask someone with a little more knowledge to explain it to me so I can do Jesus justice.
Has anyone considered "last" meaning literally "final"? This world, "system" has been here since the beginning when God created it. Our main focus should not be to figure out the length of "time on earth" left, but living to the fullness of potential and purpose that's pleasing to our heavenly Father. Jesus brought the Kingdom of God back to us to make it final. This is the true meaning of last.
I am concerned about you saying"it didn't matter what name I called him by" " I don't care what his name be called" many other religions apart from Christianity have their own names for their own 'gods' Their god could be Buddha, Allah, Gaia etc. and they call him / it , Lord god. would you respond if anyone call you by a name other than your own name ? No you wouldn't. Neither would The Almighty God , The Son and The Holy Spirit.
Kat, this is not to criticize but to point out, in the love of Christ, a crucial error made by many.
UNTIL THE FULNESS OF THE GENTILES on James 1 - 3 years ago
It was PROPHESY. It all happened as the Godhead Wrote it. Through Jesus's suffering He set the new Covenant in motion until the mystery be completed: UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles.
Romans 11:11 ...have they stumbled that
they should fall? God forbid: but rather
through their fall...salvation is come
unto the Gentiles (WHY?) for to provoke
them (the JEWS) to jealousy.
For if the casting away from them be THE
RECONCILING of the WORLD...what shall be
the the RECEIVING of them be...but life
from the dead?
Verse 26: AND SO ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED
Verse 27: For this is MY COVENANT unto them (Israel) , WHEN I shall take away their sins.
Verse 28: As concerning the gospel (birth, life, death, resurrection of Jesus) They are enemies (Israeli Pharisees ) FOR YOUR SAKES (Gentiles).
BUT as touching the ELECTION (Gentiles), they are BELOVED for the fathers sakes Deuteronomy 9:5.
Israelis are OUT now, and Gentiles are IN. This is the Word of God! It is an unfulfilled prophesy; in progress of being fulfilled.
Romans 11:8. According as it is written, God hath given them a SPIRIT OF SLUMBER
Eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, UNTO THIS DAY.
Romans 14:11-12. Everyone is going to give an account for every idle word that has come out of the mouth. You are opposing yourself! Opposing Gods written plan for Gentiles and Jews. No born again person can call Jesus accursed; or His Father.
God is dealing with Israel. He doesn't need Gentile help. We should be grateful, because us Gentiles are being blessed huge because God has Israel off in a corner wondering why so many Gentiles are in love with Jesus, and follow him around like a flock of sheep.
BUT Soon, God is going to bring them in to Himself again. Then He will have ONE whole flock. That's His recorded purpose.
I do not see scripture that supports daily RAILING against the blind and deafened Jews of today Israel. Let God do as he said.
Figure out when the fullness of the Gentiles has or will be completed. That's what we're waiting on.
The fig tree is Israel. When is summer? When is the harvest?
Certain conditions are already in play. The return of The Dispersed Jews is happening, every day. Anti-semitism is driving them to "go home to the land of their fathers."
Briefly, the Palestinians fled from their countries to live wherever they could be allowed in. Now the world watches to see if Israel will be "forced" to accept the 2 State deal on the table. Will they give up all they won in 1967 for Peace?
Keep your eyes on what Russia and China does to push this thing along. Prophesy tells that Russia will be utterly wiped off the map for its interference. By God.
A working knowledge of Bible prophesy would be advisable for now. Some modern Prophets are False Prophets. Which ones? See: you need to be careful lest you be mis-informed by a false prophet.
What does the Bible teach on these things?
I read a prophesy in many years past, that the United States would so something so heinous that the entire world would come against it. What would that be?
We cannot stop what is playing out. I advise being very prayerful over who you elect this fall. Vote your disgust and anger; or vote with God. What is that? I've seen some things but I will not say. Only this: that in Palestinian culture/blood heritage; the children born are the religion of their blood fathers. Israeli children are the religion of their mothers bloodline.
NO MANDELA EFFECT mishael on Isaiah 13:10 - 3 years ago
There is NO Mandela Effect.
God is the Alpha (beginning) and the Omega ( the Ending).
He exists outside of time and inside of time. He sees us from start to end. He's keeping a record too. Our deeds and evil communication.
The angels keep a written record of All the things we say about God. Like: God is wonderful! Look how beautiful the stars in the sky are. I want a tee shirt the same color as that butterfly God made. I wonder if God would make it rain today? (And He did :)
We can't sneak anything past Him, either.
I wish I had a book like that. Maybe I could be kinder to my grouchy neighbors....
Gotta go. Babysitting Grandson tomorrow. Have a blessed Friday.

UNITED STATES in PROPHESYMishael on Genesis 6 - 3 years ago
I've read in a book on Prophesies ( they're out there. Buy one)
That America/United States is called in prophesy: Islands in the Sea. That's because the continents are surrounded by water. Also, Britain, Scotland, Australia and others.
Here are the scriptures:
Isaiah 11:11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Isaiah 13:22
And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
Isaiah 41:1
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Isaiah 42:12
Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Isaiah 42:15
I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
Isaiah 59:18
According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
Jeremiah 50:39
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
America is not without sin. Plenty of people describe it as the new whore of Babylon.
Have we not seen people who murder, shoot up synagogues, set them on fire: rain hatred on them sunup to past midnight?
How many churched people have come in here recently, saying, despite going to church regular, they barely know anything about scripture or prophesy? Quite a bit.
Sometimes in today's world I become afraid that I won't be able to make it through the ugliness . Is the tribulation happening now? Will Christians have to endure the first 3 1/2 years or is Jesus coming before or after ?
I have a complicated question. My girlfriend was once married to a man, but they are now divorced. However, he already have a wife before her. She was forced married by her parent to be the second wife against her will. After married, she was abused and her ex-husband slept with other women. Eventually, he got caught abusing her and was put to jail. They both file for divorce. Now she's my girlfriend. I want to marry her but it's difficult. I understand that if a man divorces his wife makes him commit adultery and when he remarried. She was forced into a marriage and paid the price for it. Is she still bound to him for being the second wife? The first wife did not divorce with him. Also, will this still be considered committing adultery even though she was forced to be second wife? Am i considered someone who committed adultery? Can I marry her?
Jesus, commaned his follower's to be baptized "In The Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost," Jesus knew that they understood who the Name of the Father was ;
John 5:43 KJV
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Also read;
John 14:8-10 KJV
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Then Jesus also commanded them to be baptized in The Name of the Son; This should be evident without controversy we all know who the name of the Son is. However, We find in
John 14:6-7:
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Acts 4:12 KJV
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. The most powerful name under heaven is JESUS.
Finally, we come to the Name of the Holy Ghost, that Name is The same name of both the Father's and The Son's is Jesus. As we read about the Comforter in John 14: 16-18
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
In the Wiki article about old Saint Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco, there is a panel below the bell tower clock which shows a quote, or reference, to Ecclesiastes 4:23, which says: "Son, observe the time and fly from evil". I have looked online at the book of Ecclesiastes and the last verse in chapter 4 appears to be 17. Can someone help me solve this mystery? Thank you
(v12)
Women can testify (Jo4, 20:17).
Woman can pray and prophecy with her head covered (1Cor11).
Aged women can teach young women (Tit2).
A mother can teach her children (Pr1:8).
But to teach the man and to have authority over him, she is not allowed, because the man was first formed, and the woman was deceived (v12-14).
See what Jesus says to the church in Thyatira (Re2:20).
What Paul teaches here, he teaches in every church, everywhere (1Cor4:17).
We don't endure sound doctrine and are turned to fables (2Tim4:3-4).
The Word is Scripture inspired by God (2Tim3:16).
I may ask, who bewitched us, that we should not obey the truth? (Gal3:1).
