    Praise the Lord,

    The five smooth stones are part of a Rock ( 1 Corinthians 10:4) i.e. Jesus Christ . So Jesus Christ is nothing but word of God ( John 1:1 & 14). Matthew 21:44 Its a weapon and Lord has given us spiritual weapon to fight against all demonic powers against us. They are 1. Faith : Hebrew 11:1,6 Hebrews 12:2, Galatians 5:22(F.O.S), 1 Corinthians 12:9(G.O.S) Ephesians 6:16(A.O.G), Matthew 17:20 2.Word of God: John 1:1, Psalms 107:20, Isaiah 55:11, Hebrews 4:12 3. Prayer : Jeremiah 33:3, Matthew 17:21 4. Anointing : Isaiah 10:27, 5. Obedience : 1 Samuel 15:22. If we have this five spiritual smooth stones which formed from Jesus , we can overcome this world. ( 1 John 5:4). David had faith in the Lord and put it into action, also had the special horn anointing to break all the yolks by obeying to the voice of the God. David was a man of prayer. Big things comes in small packages. Victory is ours.

  • Jesse - In Reply on Luke 10 - 3 years ago
    Willie,

    Here is my understanding of what love your neighbor means. First of all, Luke 10:27 says Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. This comes from Deuteronomy 6:5, thou shalt love the Lord your God, and then Leviticus 19:18, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

    The term "Thou shalt love" in the Greek text is not in command form. It is called a Future Active Indicative. What this is telling us is that if we have the Spirit of Christ living in us, WE WILL love the Lord with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and WE WILL love our neighbor as ourselves. It is a statement of fact. The word love is the word Agape. This is different from human love (Phileo). Agape love is a fruit of God's Spirit which we are given in Galatians 5:22.

    What is interesting is that to the Jews in the Old Testament, their neighbor was their fellow Jew. In the New Testament, the word neighbor for the Christian is a reference to other Christians. In fact, Jesus said it. He said, "All men will know that you are my disciples when you have love for one another." The highest love that I can show my brothers and sisters in Christ is to be obedient to Christ.

    So, we are not commanded to get out there and start loving our neighbors. The command is YOU WILL. Its a factual statement. Since God is love (Agape), and He gives us His Spirit, and His Spirit in us produces that love, WE WILL love our neighbor, and WE WILL love the Lord our God. It's impossible not to because His Spirit in us produces that love!

    >"So it was not sin as long as they got married at some future point afterwards"

    Hello, I'm not sure who told you that, but that doesn't come from God and isn't Biblical or true. The father of lies (satan) loves distorting the minds of Christians and encouraging them to spread falsehoods to others. Even though Christians are saved by grace sin is a big deal and should be avoided at nearly all costs. John 14:15, Matthew 5:29-30. Matthew 7:16-27, Matthew 7:26-27, Galatians 5:17, Hebrews 10:26.

    Concerning the abolishment of the Law of God:

    The book of Hebrews shows us that the 7th day, the Temple, the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, etc., are a copy or replication of what God has already established in Heaven.

    Hebrews 8:5 "They serve in a place that is a COPY and SHADOW of the heavenly meeting tent. This is indicated when Moses was warned by God when he was about to set up the meeting tent: See that you FOLLOW THE PATTERN that I showed you on the mountain in every detail;" from Exodus 25:40.

    The heavenly pattern is what we follow, and God has not left us any information concerning that being changed in any way.

    The fulfillment, partial or total that Christ has done in the Law does not make that Law abolished. For instance, the Temple is gone. We have become His Temple. The veil was rent from top to bottom ( Matthew 27:51) to show that we no longer need a priest to reconcile our sins for us. We all have forgiveness based upon repentance.

    Fulfillment, in full, or in part, of the Law does not abolish it. What do you do with all other Scripture that does not agree with your assessment?

    When Christ rose and spoke in the Synagogue on the Sabbath, He specifically left out the words in Luke 4:18-19 concerning the "Day of vengeance of our God" ( Isaiah 61:1-2) because that day has not come upon us all yet.

    Christ came to fulfill the Law, not abolish it. Has the Law been completely fulfilled? No. We are still under the Law, which

    Paul states "is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" ( Galatians 5:14)

    The "curse" of the Law is a persons' inability to keep it. That "curse" is what Christ has taken on for us. Not the Law. The Law is just and perfect. It is humans that cannot remain righteous; not even a single day of our lives!
  • Ann Hering - In Reply on John 5:43 - 3 years ago
    Adam ...

    The Word of God is CLEAR!

    Salvation is by GRACE through FAITH in believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again!

    That's IT!

    Galatians 2:16

    Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

    Romans 11:6

    And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

    2 Timothy 1:9

    Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

    Romans 4:4

    Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

    Galatians 5:4

    Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

    I AM sticking with WHAT Paul SAYS!

    You SEE Salvation is just BELIEVING in what Jesus Christ DID for US!

    NO WORKS required!
  • John - In Reply on 1 Timothy 2:4 - 3 years ago
    Thanks for the reply Chris, I'm happy to have a discussion.

    This will be a multi post reply (If this website allows all of them) as there is a lot to unpack with your questions.

    It seems there are some principles that need to be established in order for you to understand my position.

    1. We have two Natures. There are several names for the two natures all men struggle between.

    The new man and the old man, the flesh and the spirit, the carnal mind and the mind of Christ.

    Romans 8:7

    For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.

    God's Law is an expression of his nature, only when walking in the spirit (the new man/nature) can we follow it.

    Romans 8:8

    Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

    Galatians 3:27

    For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

    (Which ties into this verse)

    Matthew 3:11

    "I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. (This is the non literal fire)

    Not only in this a spiritual fire but this fire is essential to being saved, which I believe we are not saved until we have endured to the end.

    1 Corinthians 3:15

    If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

    Galatians 2:20

    I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.

    Galatians 5:16-17

    But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

    Galatians 5:24

    And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

    This theme occurs throughout all of scripture.

  • Mishael on Jonah 35-10 411 on Psalms 8 - 3 years ago
    Jonah 3:10

    The entire nation of Nineveh repented: from the king down to the animals. Sack cloth, ashes and total fast, for all.

    And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

    The one instance of God repenting.

    Galatians 5:22 The Fruit of the Holy Spirit:

    Love

    Joy

    Peace

    Long suffering

    Gentleness

    Goodness

    Meekness

    Temperance

    Comforter

    Teacher

    Against such there is no law. // let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

    I see nothing profitable in hitting the sheep with a pole. The shepherds crook is pull them back from danger.

    What would the Holy Spirit do?

    Jesus said to Peter: feed my sheep; 3 times.

    Intercessory prayer is for His flock.

    Standing in the gap, is for carrying lambs.
  • Jesse - In Reply on John 5:4 - 3 years ago
    How do I feel about James 2:17-26? If we are talking about faith without works is a dead faith, then I totally agree. But to understand what it means, you have to have an understanding of what the bible means by faith. Please give me your definition of faith. You and I cannot produce the faith the bible speaks of. All we can produce is flesh. The faith the bible speaks of is spiritual faith. Only God's Spirit can produce spiritual faith ( Galatians 5:22). The works that come from us come from the persuasion of God's Spirit persuading us to do those things. But it is His work, not ours. He gets all the glory. ( Ephesians 2:8-9).

    Again, due to space, I'll answer your other questions on John 14:15, Luke 12:9, and Romans 12:2 next.
  • Jesse - In Reply on John 5:4 - 3 years ago
    (Part 3)

    Not only is God is the sole source of salvation, but every saved person is kept by the power of God. Peter writes, in 1 Peter 1:5, that believers are, "The ones who are being kept in the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

    Paul writes on the same subject, in Galatians 5:17, "For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are opposing to one another; in order that you should not do what you want." These scriptures show that believers cannot be taken away from Christ by the flesh, because the Spirit of God is dwelling within to prevent that from happening.

    Jesus Himself said, in John 6:37, "All that the Father gives to me will come to me; and the one coming to me I will never cast out." He goes on to say in John 6:39, "And this is the will of the Father who has sent me, in order that of all which he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up in the last day."
  • A - In Reply on Acts 16 - 3 years ago
    You just read it here in verse 31 and 32, it doesn't say anything about "trying to live right" or "going to church" or "being baptized." It says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. If you're trusting in anything in addition to Jesus to be saved, then you're saying what Jesus did for you is not enough on its own to wash away your sins and save you. We are saved, as it says, by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, nothing more and nothing less.

    Ephesians 2:8-9 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.

    Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justified the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

    John 3:16, John 3:18, John 3:36, etc.

    It's great to live right and God rewards His children abundantly, but Christ alone saves.

    Galatians 5:4. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
  • Chris - In Reply on Galatians 6 - 3 years ago
    Hattie, as in all Scripture, one needs to see the context in which a certain passage is written. In Gal 6:1,2, Paul references his earlier lengthy message on the Fruit of the Spirit in contrast to the works of the flesh (please read Galatians 5). So when he speaks in 6:1,2, he says to use that same spirit of Meekness (5:23), if you find a brother or sister overtaken by a fault (maybe some sin or error in judgement), then you who are mature in Christ & in His Word, help that poor soul to get back to a life of peace & victory - I apologize here that I am paraphrasing liberally so as to help you understand the verses). And, "considering thyself lest thou also be tempted" means: do this act of love for your brother/sister with great personal introspection & care (i.e. don't do it thinking that you are superior - that you won't fall into sin as he/she did. See 1 Cor 10:12 for a warning in this regard). And then, to fulfil Christ's law, we must help in carrying other's life's heavy loads.

  • LC Nelson - In Reply on Leviticus 15 - 3 years ago
    In response to William Leviticus 15 statement: Taking no thought for tomorrow. Those thoughts refer to natural thoughts. God is concern about your Spiritual Life. It is your Spiritual Life that we should be putting on everyday. Getting rid of hate, jealousy, strife, envy and clothing ourselves with the fruits of the Spirit: Galatians 5: 22-23 Love, Joy, Peace Longsuffering. It is a difficult task, because God saves every person a different way. But when he gets you to that place where you understand how much he loves you and what he did for you, you will live a different life. God will established himself in your heart and you will not fear what is happening around you.
  • Ann - In Reply on Romans 6 - 4 years ago
    Barbara, there is severe punishment ( Hell Fire) if the person does turn from their evil ways, and turn to the living God and ask for forgiveness for their sins that they have committed, God is merciful and will forgive that person if they will turn to the Almighty God and repent of their evil ways.
    Please read the following KJV bible scriptures: Romans 1:26-27 - 1 Timothy 1:10 - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - Galatians 3:28 - Galatians 3:26-29 - 1 Corinthians 6:9 - Leviticus 18:22 - John 3:16 -

    Thank you for the detailed answer Brother.
    The last verse you quoted from Galatians 5:18, or in fact I read from the first verse all the way to the 18th verse those are not Jesus words, but Pauls.
    He is talking about circumcision, Jesus never said dont circumcise your children.
    Paul seems to have created his own law and sourced Jesus Christ who never said them.
    Very interesting.

    True not really new commandments
    Someone asked Jesus what was the most important commandment.
    Matthew 22:36 - Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
    Mat 22:37 - Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
    Mat 22:38 - This is the first and great commandment.

    Mat 22:39 - And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
    Mat 22:40 - On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets.
    Yet
    Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

    I find that self control and all the attributes of the Fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23 are supported by the infilling and indwelling of the Holy Spirit who is our advocate, teacher and concillor without which life gets in the way. He also, guides you in keeping everything focused on the promise of Sake ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. The gospel is pretty straightforward when we abide in Him and He in us, John 15:5-7. God, How I pray that we can get to the 1000 year reign sooner than later and truly live life.

    My dear works alone don't save anyone, neither does faith alone. Grace is what saves, but a person is saved by grace through faith Ephesians 2:8 . And how does one knows that one is truly a partaker of grace through faith? By one's works. Faith without works is dead, Works alone won't get anyone into Heaven, but no one will be in Heaven who didn't have "faith which WORKS by love." Galatians 5:6

  • Helen Berger on Galatians 5 - 5 years ago
    I find Galatians 5 to serve as a blueprint, in many ways, because Paul reiterates on what Jesus taught regarding the things we must do, and not do, to inherit the Kingdom of God. In this chapter, the Word is made plain with no parables to decipher, plus, Paul identifies each vice separately, so there should be no confusion as to what's acceptable and what is not. Thank you for fixing the volume
