doesn't the scripture showing Micaiah the false prophet, speaking lies prove that God can, at will, can either allow or will a prophet to prophesy a lie. also in Jeremiah 23?
It is said that we must treat our neighbor as ourselves but what if our neighbor doesn't treat us the same and they just don't like you for no reason at all. Matthew 22 verse39 what are we to do?
Saul's original name had been changed to paul . jesus christ chose paul to be our apostle for the church age. to to the jews and gentiles of whomever. jesus christ gave the apostle paul a revelation being the gospel of salvation that god will use ( 1 corinthians 15:1-4 ) to judge the church comprised of jews or gentiles or whoever who believes the cospel of salvation ( 1corinthians15:1-4 ) you must believe in your heart that jesus died for your sins by shedding his blood on the cross of calvary, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the scripyure to be saved and have everlasting life. jesus christ manifested in the flesh ( 1 tim 3:16) loved you enough to die in your place for your sins. jesus christ had already died shedding his blood for our sins whereas the gospel for salvation john preached to the jews 2000 years ago ( john 3:16) preaching that god gave his son that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. what should they believe when john preached to the jews of israel john 3:16 ? ought they believe that christ was given to them that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,but have everlasting life. this is correct because jesus christ had not been crucified, but the church of the church age will be judged by the gospel of salvation ( 1 cor. 15:1-4) revealed to paul from a revelation from jesus christ for their salvation having everlasting life, whether you be a jew or a gentile. remember god will do the judging, otherwise if you do not trust in the shed blood of jesus christ on the cross of calvary then pay the penalty yourslf and burn in the lake of fire in torment for eternally! that will be your price you will have to pay for not trusting and believing your substitute jesus christ dying, shedding his blood on the cross of calvary .
O God, today I begin an experiment in seeking peace. You have so much to say about peace in the Bible that I know it is your will for all men to be at peace.
In knowing Your will, O God, I am encouraged to press through all opposition, so that your will might be fulfilled in me.
Help me, I pray, to stop excusing my attitudes and actions. I alone am responsible for what I do today.
Help me to forget the errors of yesterday while I live to the fullest today, to Your glory. Help me not to be anxious about tomorrow but to be assured that by living today within the will of God, tomorrow shall be even better than today.
I do now commit myself to You Lord, trusting You for the needs of today. In Jesus' name.
Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
Who are our enemies? What does it mean to love your enemies?, what kind of love do we love them? how actions do we take to extend such love?
How does it mean to bless our enemies? What actions do we take to bless them?
Who are our persecutors? what kind of prayers do we pray for them? What kind of relations should we maintain with our prosecutors? Should we maintain distance from our prosecutors though we forgive them?
When we realize that Jesus knows everything about us! When you come too that realization, you have stepped into your destination.
Understanding the love of God is incomprehensible!
The woman at the well questioning Christ, how will He get this water? "If you knew the gift of God"!
These words are gifts of His will toward man. Sitting beside a well full of water that we all need to have to live. He proclaims we need more than this water, we need the water only He can give! Living water!
This water we have nothing to draw with, for it is a gift from Him that is a wellspring unto everlasting life!
You, who are the well spring know this life we have in this water.
In genesis 1;27 the bible states God made mankind and instructed them to multiply. In Genesis chapter 2 he created Adam and Eve. There were humans before Adam and Eve?
If God abhors evil and is always against it then why does Isaiah 45:7 state, "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." I understand that God does all things at all times but why does it state that He created evil? Isnt that going against God's stance on evil? Thank you for your time and God bless.
There's Judgment for sinners and There's chastening for believers.
Ether way I don't wish this on no one!
Hebrews 10:26-31.
That's one reason why we preach the cross Continuously! There's blessings and on the other hand There's consequences therefore we preach repentance.
If there's no damnable consequences why preach?
We've been given an urge to preach God's grace. OUR MESSAGE HAS VIRTUE! IT IS SALVATION!!
It has eternal security for the believer! and it has the ONLY escape from Hell. It brings those out of darkness.
If there is another Gospel out there that don't have repentance, Holiness, no wrath of God and no hell. THEN IT CAN'T HAVE SALVATION. " What are you saved from? And if all go to heaven no matter what. Why do you preach and stand in the way of THE Gospel that we preach? It shouldn't bother you unless we have opposing spirits.
Here's what that heresy looks like .
They treat wrath as if it's reward. This is a errored teaching against the effects of the cross.
It speaks in this manner, "Forget the cross, We needs God's wrath!
Forget Holllyness, do evil so we can be thrown in the lake of fire and be purified.
It says Jesus died in vain!
It says God Love on display when Christ died on the cross was pointless.
They look at John 3:16. and
John 15:13, They don't say thank you Lord, They say it was unnecessary.
There's no preaching forgiveness for sins to those who trust In Christ, It says hell and the punishment reserved for Satan and his Angels is what you need.
Here's a direct quote from one just a few days ago "
.....Every sinner will have their part in the lake of fire....thank you Jesus that is what we ALL NEED....His baptism of the HG and Fire.
That's their Goodnews/Gospel.
They say this is from God but they can't take that to their local Church. But they come on the site to attack the truth.
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you "FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE."
Who's name SAKE? God.
That speaks volumes!
John 3:18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Did you know the word/term christian(s) only appears 3 times in the gospels/epistles (Jn.5:39)? (1st mentioned in Acts 11:26)
I would like to draw everyone's attention to vs 19 to 26 of this chapter [spirit & truth], let it sink in 4 a while!
Salvation IS Of/BY the JEW(S)! otherwise we gentiles worship we "..know not what.." as christianity is a 'middle eastern' (not western) religion in origin ( Acts 11:26)!

Encouragement for any day...Salvation as it is in the Holy King James Bible:
There are many uncertainties in this life, but your soul's salvation does NOT need to be one of them. You can KNOW beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are saved and on your way to heaven. "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life" ( 1st John 5:13). We all know that we have to die, but we don't know when.
What must you do to be saved? You must repent and received the free gift of Grace of God by Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Read these verses below to help guide you along with path:
John 14:6
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
You can't place your faith in a pastor/preacher/teacher, you can't place it in a movement and you most certainly can't place it in a church ministry (although not all have fallen away). You can only find truth and life (Salvation) in Christ Jesus. Whereby we hear this verse:
Acts 4:12 - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
You cannot earn Salvation or get it by works. Many others use legalism as a way to add works to the simple message of Salvation. But there's not a work you can do to get saved. Christ fulfilled everything on the Cross.
Titus 3:5
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;"
Ephesians Chapter 2
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
So knowing this...how do we get saved, I'll leave God's Word to speak above mine own:
Romans 10:9
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
How can anyone tell Jesus he was wrong? There isn't time or space to write all there is to say about sin on this board but it won't enter into Gods heaven.
John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, (and sin no more.)
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: (sin no more), lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins
Luke 16:31 And if they hear not Mosses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.
Daniel 7:14 And there was GIVEN HIM dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that ALL PEOPLE, nations, and language, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, SHALL BE GIVEN to the people of the saints of the most high, and ALL dominions shall serve and obey him.
Amos 3:7 Surly the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth HIS SECRETS unto his servants the prophets.
If there are two groups of people one going to heaven and one going to hell, God didn't reveal this to to Daniel.
One of those moments when you read and the KJV and you see something that startles you. BOTH individuals being crucified with Jesus reviled him; meaning the one that was saved, right before he was saved, actually called Jesus out in a derogatory manner? Mark 15:32. Am I missing something? All along I thought it was only the thief on the left?
KJV ???
Is it not included on purpose to hide knowledge from us ??
In knowing Your will, O God, I am encouraged to press through all opposition, so that your will might be fulfilled in me.
Help me, I pray, to stop excusing my attitudes and actions. I alone am responsible for what I do today.
Help me to forget the errors of yesterday while I live to the fullest today, to Your glory. Help me not to be anxious about tomorrow but to be assured that by living today within the will of God, tomorrow shall be even better than today.
I do now commit myself to You Lord, trusting You for the needs of today. In Jesus' name.
and surely I could think of at least one other body part was worried about.
Others in my church might not be worried about their hands, because their hand is not causing
them to sin, but mine is.
First of all, I want to honor the Christian forum by first defending Jesus.
I believe Jesus has a sense of humor, I conclude based on what I have read,
that Jesus is merely teasing people who have asked him how they can stop sinning.
I understand there is also some very deep symbolism in all of this, as evidenced, by
Jesus talking about "offending" one of "these little ones". So, it is more than just a joke,
but it is humor in my opinion, I cant prove it, but I just dont see Jesus saying seriously to anyone
that they should literally remove parts of their body.
There is some question of what is meant by "offend". Other translations have said "if your hand causes you to sin",
rather than "if your hand offends you". There is surely some implication of hands, eyes, and potentially other
body parts, causing one to lust. If "offend" means something other than "causes you to sin", then in that case,
is that not exactly what the trans-gendered are doing - removing parts of their body which "offend" them?
In Matthew 19:12, Jesus seems to partially endorse the practice of becoming a eunuch.
All this is very scary to the young teenaged Christian such as I was at one time.
I recall also that it is not easy for Christian leaders to soothe such fear by dismissing it,
because, Jesus is saying this.
The joke I talked about is a great joke, it is very deep spiritually, I think we should reflect on this,
Jesus is really telling us not to hurt ourself, not to be hard on ourself. "Rabbi, how do I stop [shameful practice]".
"Cut your hand off".
Its so perfect. Its funny, it disarms the questioner of their fear, its deep, its totally flawless.
Who are our enemies? What does it mean to love your enemies?, what kind of love do we love them? how actions do we take to extend such love?
How does it mean to bless our enemies? What actions do we take to bless them?
Who are our persecutors? what kind of prayers do we pray for them? What kind of relations should we maintain with our prosecutors? Should we maintain distance from our prosecutors though we forgive them?
Thank you.
