    For those Christians that do not celebrate "Easter" due to the pagan overtones, how do you celebrate the Lord's resurrection? What are some of the things you do? I know as Gentile believers we don't celebrate Passover, but since Jesus became our Passover, is it okay to celebrate Passover in a Christian way? Thoughts?

    Is ( Mt 24) prophecy for today, or just for the Jews? First we look at ( Mt 24:3) The question to Jesus was "Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be (THE SIGN) (OF THY COMING), and of the end of the world"? (THE SIGN) (OF THY COMING)? In ( Mt 24:29-31) v30 Tells us "And then shall appear (THE SIGN) of the Son of man in heaven" this verse also tells us "and they shall see the Son of man ((coming in the clouds)) of heaven with power and great glory". v30 is (THE SIGN) (OF HIS COMING) Jesus is answering their question. Now a look at ( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17) v15 Tells us "that we which are alive and remain unto (THE COMING OF THE LORD) shall not prevent them which are asleep" v16 Tells us "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout" v17 Tells us "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air;" (This is the COMING that the disciples asked Him about in ( Mt 24:3) The #1 pre-tribulation rapture verse is very clearly connected to ( Mt 24:29-31) in many ways. ( Mt 24:30) (1) The coming of the Son of man (2) Coming in the clouds (3) ( Mt 24:31) there's a sound of a trumpet (4) There is a gathering together. Now we look at ( 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) (1) v15 The coming of the Lord, v16 The Lord descends from heaven (2) v17 We meet the Lord in the clouds (3) v16 with the trump of God (4) v17 caught up together, a gathering. These are telling us of the same event which is Jesus Christ, (the Son of man) (coming in the clouds) to (gather together) His elect, the church. ( Mt 24:39-41) v39 Tells us "so shall also the (coming of the Son of man be)" (So shall also) So when the Son of man comes v40 Tells us "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left" The ones who are taken are those (gathered together to meet the Lord in the air, in the clouds) at His coming. ( Mt 24:29) Immediately after the tribulation! Mt.24 is prophecy for all in the Lastdays. Blessings.

    Who was Enoch's family?
  • GiGi on Numbers 4:13 - 11 months ago
    Numbers Chapter 4

    This chapter details how the items that together make up the tent of meeting/tabernacle are to be prepared for transport and then transported when the camp is to break and move according to the Lord's direction.

    It is interesting that the items are to be covered with blue cloth and then with badger skins. I do not know what the blue cloth would indicate, but the badger skins would protect the items from rain and sun. Also, the badger skins would prevent the items from being viewed by the anyone other than the priests. All items were to be carried either with poles going through rings or suspended on poles. It does not say how the planks and curtains are to be transported. Perhaps since, they are heavy and numerous, they are divided up evenly among the men of the tribe of Merari.

    Men between the ages of 30 and fifty were to do this work, most likely because they were in their prime and were strong and had the stamina to carry the items from one camp to the next. The terrain they traveled in was sometimes strenuous, going through ravines and hills and mountain passes. I wonder if they carried the items in shifts on the journey?

    Also, I wonder what happened to the glory Presence of the Lord on the ark of the covenant when it was covered and transported. And also, what about the fire for the altar of sacrifice which was to be be kept burning always.

    Who are those who are left? ( Mt 24:40-41) and ( Luke 17:34-36) Tell us "one shall be taken, and the other "left" ( 1 Thessalonians 1:10) Tells us "which (delivered) us from the wrath to come" The word (delivered) is #4506; it means to rush or draw (for oneself) rescue. So True Believers are (delivered) or (rescued) (saved) from the wrath to come! The True Believers are the ones taken, the ones left will face the wrath to come. ( Jn 3:36) Tells us He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life (those taken), and those who believeth not the Son the wrath of God abideth on him (those left). ( Romans 5:9) Tell us we are (saved) from wrath through him. The word (saved) is #4982; it means "safe" to save, i.e. deliver or protect. The same meaning as the word (body) in ( Luke 17:37) Which are those who are (taken) (saved) from the wrath to come, they are the (body) of Christ. ( Romans 1:18) The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteous of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. ( Col 3:6) "the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience" ( Eph 5:6) "because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience" The word (disobedience) is #543; it means to disbelieve (willfully and perversely) not believe, disobedient, obey not, unbelieving. (These unbelievers will be the ((ones left)) to face the wrath of God) As for True Believers? ( 1 Thessalonians 5:9) "For God hath not appointed (us) to wrath but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ". Believers will be (saved) (delivered) (rescued) from the wrath to come. He will receive True Believers unto Himself. The word (taken) means to receive near. ( John 14:3) Tells us "I will come again, and receive you unto myself". The ones (taken) are saved from the wrath to come! The ones (left) the wrath of God abideth on them! ( Mt 24:29-31) clearly tells us (when) this event takes place. (Immediately after the tribulation) Truth matters. Blessings.

    Does the KJV indicate that there was a hierarchy of angels created?
  • Jimbob - 11 months ago
    Who are the ones (taken)? (Lu 17:34-36) These verses tell us "the one shall be (taken) and the other left". The word (taken) is in the New Testament 68 times. It has the following meaning in only 5 of those 68 verses, those 5 verses are in (Lu 17:34-36) and ( Mt 24:40-41) The word (taken) is #3880; it means to receive near, i.e. associate with oneself ( in any familiar act or relation) to assume an office, receive, take (unto, with) to get hold of, to seize or remove, take (away, up). The meaning is all good, nothing bad or negative for those (taken) Now lets look at (Lu 17:37) They asked Him, Where Lord? What did they ask Jesus? He just said to them "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall BE TAKEN, and the other left. (They are saying to Him, one shall be (taken) Where Lord?) Now the word (body) in this verse is #4983; it means the body (as a sound whole) "safe" to save, i.e. deliver or protect, heal, preserve. So the (body) in this verse is "safe" saved, delivered. So this (body) is speaking of the one (taken) The word (eagle) is #105; it means an eagle (from its wind like flight) (to breathe unconsciously, respire, by analogy to blow) "air" (as naturally circumambient) air, to breathe. (Nothing bad) Now what is this (body)? ( Col 1:18) Tells us the (body) is the (church) Also ( Col 1:24) This (body) are the ones that are (taken) which means to receive near. In ( Jn 14:1-4) v3 The Words of Jesus "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, ((AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF)); that where I am, there ye may be also." Jesus receives those (taken) unto Himself. That is the (body) of Christ which shows a gathering together in (Lu 17:37) That would be the same (gathering together) of the (elect) in ( Mt 24:29-31) v30 Tells us "and they shall see the Son of man (Jesus Christ) coming in the clouds. v31 tells us "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall (gather together) his elect" those (taken) His (body) the church.

    The Bible is a constant comfort to us . Once we understand the principles of salvation , in and through Christ , we can still keep reading it , it's like food . It strengthens us and comforts us to read the words of our God and His Son . We should read it all through our lives , there is so much beauty and it's a way of feeling close to God , through His word and His word made flesh . It's full of life and love . I have to be honest , I've known the principles of salvation for many many years but that hasn't stopped me wanting to read the Bible , I need it , if I miss a day I actually feel anxious . If I'm too tired I still read it , even if only one chapter . Just because I know the principles doesn't mean I don't enjoy the rest , it's all food , spiritual food , to keep my faith strong in the tough times and times of uncertainty or temptation . Why would I want to stop being fed or feeling close to my God ? Why would you ?

    Is the church the elect? ( Isa 45:4) This verse gives us two key words ((elect)) and ((called)) The word ((elect)) in Hebrew is #972; it means select, choose, chosen one, (choice) The word ((called)) is #7121; it means to call out loud, properly ((TO ADDRESS BY NAME)), that are bidden, call (for, forth, self, upon) This verse also tells us God (called) His (elect) out loud by name. ( Mk 13:20) This verse gives us two key words also ((elect's)) and ((chosen)) The word (elect's) in Greek is #1588; it means select, by implying favorite, chosen, to select, make choice, choose (out) chosen. The word (chosen) is #1586; it means to select, make choice, choose (out) This verse tells us that God has (chosen) His (elect) in whom their names will be called out loud! ( Acts 2:47) The word (church) is #1577; from "2564" it means a calling out, "2564" to call aloud , to "call" aloud, call (forth) whose sur- name (was (called) Now remember ( Isa 45:4) Tells us "For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine (elect), I HAVE EVEN CALLED THEE BY THY NAME: I HAVE SURNAME THEE, though thou hast not known me.". Do you all see this? The (elect) are called out by name and the word (church) true meaning says (whose surname was called) ( Col 3:12-15) Verse 12 Tells us God is speaking of His (elect) Verse 15 Tells us the (elect) are (called) in one (body) The word (body) is #4983; it means the body (as a sound whole) "safe" to save, i.e. deliver or protect. ( Col 2:17) "the (body) is of Christ". So the (body) of Christ are those who are (called) out loud by name, the (chosen) the (church) the (elect) These Scriptures are saying the church is the elect. The elect are gathered together in ( Mt 24:29-31) Immediately after the tribulation. Those who do not agree with this just "Please" show where this is wrong ((by Scripture)) Blessings. Truth matters!

    How little is your faith Peter?

    How little is your faith Peter?

    When he had to walk Peter sight showed him the impossible of the journey, same to us today We are like Peter with little faith.

    How little is our faith when we are suppressed by poverty and inequality and we have to walk through pain and injustice?

    We see the situation it's walking in the waters, We see it like Peter and we sink in deeper into poverty we Sink deeper into that inquality because we are afraid to walk afraid to stand because little is our faith that I can, God is the way, God is the life and God is the truth, even though I shall walk in the valley of death I don't fear no evil at all for I walk by faith not by sight, I see it all but I know like Daniel my God is alive by faith not by sight. How little is your faith Peter? How little is your faith?

    John 17:22-23.

    what does these verses mean to you?

    1 john 2:5-6.

    but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of god perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

    he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

    this is a condition exercised by the influence of the lord being in you!!

    so this is uniquely performed amongst brothern!!

    john 13:34-35.

    a new commandment i give unto you, that ye love one another; as i have loved you, that ye also love one another.

    ( by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.)

    this is salvation at work!!

    you shall know them by their fruit! matthew 7:13-23.

    one can profess to believe in a grace based relationship with christ or even deceive themselves to believing they have a grace relationship with christ but can't display the fruit associated with what they claim to be truth.

    this is not christ "in you"

    however, there's the spirit of antichrist in th world.

    1 john 2:18.

    little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

    this is why we examine ourselves.

    they lack fruit!

    1) they hate the brothern.

    2)thet dont inwardly have what's mentioned in galatians 5:22-23.

    "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

    meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

    they that are christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

    contrary to fruit is;

    idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

    envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:

    if we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit.

    let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

    sadly a part of eschatology that won't last a week.

    god bless.

    .....that good may result.

    Why should the good appear in evil's form; and is it not deception if it does?

    For now, I feel inclined, perhaps inspired, to continue believing God is FULL of love, thus leaving no options that He can oppose Himself by being anything other than Love. In this manner, I CAN recognize what truly is from God and what is not, lest I be confused.

    God Is

    Blessings to All
  • One eighty - 12 months ago
    pg.1

    I would very much benefit by being capable of differentiating between the Goodness of God (Agathos in Greek, thank you Jesse) and what is not considered as His goodness, i.e. His Love, and what is not His love. Occasionally, I read the comment God is "full of Love," yet I perceive from others that in this "fullness" a combining of what does not appear to be love. It's very confusing in my ability, or inability to reason.

    Apparently, God is the Cause of catastrophic events that take away the lives, and/or injure and cause pain and suffering of many, including children. Perhaps it is only some events, not all; yet how can I tell which come from God and which from the "devil". Is all sickness from God because He allowed it OR caused it, and is its purpose to teach OR to punish? Is punishment correction. Is this a part of the Agathos of God. I can comprehend our God given free will by His allowing us to choose what is harmful to us; it seems we do this quite well ourselves without needing any additional cause.



    Can fear be an ally with love, when we are aware Scripture says that perfect Love casts out fear? Is wrath synonymous with love or with hate, or both? How can one be certain Who and What our Heavenly Father Is? If God is the Author of fear AND Love, then what purpose does Satan have or even need?

    I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers here, though I've seen that happening quite often, recently. I am sincerely attempting to understand. Please, for your own sake, not mine, don't condemn others with labeling them as unsaved, or anti-Christ, or heretical, etc., when an individual is earnestly seeking simple truth.

    Paul stated that we should not do evil that good may result, and in doing so their condemnation is deserved (personally, I don't adhere to condemnation). Yet I constantly see that true principle completely overlooked AND forgotten in Christian thinking, thus projected onto God that He is capable of doing evil that .......

    THE GOODNESS OF GOD

    Mark 10:17-18

    "And when He was gone forth into the way, there came one running and kneeled to Him, and asked Him, Good master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"

    And Jesus said unto him, "Why calleth thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God."

    This is the story of the rich man who said he had kept the commandments since he was a child.

    This verse came to mind today along with the title of my post.

    It made me think about the fact that God is good all the time. He never ceases to be good.

    He is even good when He allows or even brings catastrophic events upon people or punishments such as taking Israel and Judah out of the land when they would not cease to revert back again and again to idolatry. He was following through with what He promised would happen if His chosen people did not worship Him alone.

    He was good when He poured His wrath for sin upon Jesus on the cross. He was good when He allowed the persecution of the church under repeated Roman emperors leading to the martyrdom of millions. He is good today, even in our hardships, sufferings, and trials.

    But, His goodness extends to us in the giving of His grace and mercy; in His patience in order to bring us to Christ; in HIs providence that He supplies daily for our needs; in His protection from the many times we experience a "near miss"; in the creation of family and friendships ; and in the beauty of this natural world that we can readily enjoy firsthand and now through film and photos taken by others.

    When Jesus said that God alone is good, He was attesting to His deity in a somewhat round about way. The rich man knew to come to Jesus and kneel before him in order to find eternal life, which only comes from the goodness of God.

    So, today I think on this topic. I would love to hear from others how God has bestowed His goodness on one's life.

    In Luke 9:27, "...some standing here today will not see death till they see the Son of Man Coming in His glory."

    How is this possible? Is Jesus saying one of His disciples never died?

    Please answer, this is hard to figure out....
