    Sister GiGi:

    From Adam till the present, what is the SIN that separates man from God.

    UNBELIEF

    Adam didn't believe God's word.

    National Israel didn't believe God's word.

    Promised Israel today doesn't believe God's Word.

    Paul was struggling with this same sin, UNBELIEF.

    Romans 11:32 For God HATH concluded THEM ALL (including Paul) in UNBELIEF, that he may have MERCY ON ALL.

    Proverbs 16:6 By MERCY and TRUTH iniquity (unbelief) is PURGED.

    1 Timothy 1:13 Who (Paul) was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in UNBELIEF.

    Romans 11:30 For YE in times past HAVE NOT BELIEVED GOD, yet have now obtained mercy because of their UNBELIEF.

    Mark 9:24 .... Lord ....help thou my UNBELIEF .......

    Matthew 17:20 ...because of your UNBELIEF .....

    Every SIN is CAUSED by UNBELIEF.

    God Bless YOU!

    ( Proverbs 30:5-6)

    ( Rev 22:18-19)

    ( Jer 23:36) perverted is #2015; it means "to change".

    ( Ps 12:6-7) 6) "The words of the LORD are pure words" pure is #2889; it means unadulterated, uncontaminated, sound.

    7) "Thou shalt keep them O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever". preserve is #5341, it means to guard, to protect, maintain, obey.

    ( John 14:23-24) "If a man love me, he will ((keep my words)) and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him".

    This verse is telling us if we don't keep His words the Father and Jesus will not come unto us and abode with us.

    Many on this site do not keep His words.

    His words are pure words preserved for ever in the King James Bible, ((FOR EVER))

    They are not preserved only in the manuscripts, ( 2 Tim 2:15) tells us "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". We are told to study, and rightly divide the word of truth.

    Can we study and rightly divide the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts today? No we can not!

    His words are pure ( Proverbs 30:5) His words are Alive ( Heb 4:12) His words are Inspired ( 2 Tim 3:16) which is God breathed ( 2 Pet 1:19-21) His words are sound doctrine, His words are not perverted.

    Modern versions are perverted words of men ( Jer 23:36) they have all "changed" the words of the living God!

    It is very important to see this Truth, modern versions are doctrines of devils ( 1 Tim 4:1)

    Modern versions are not sound doctrine ( 2 Tim 4:3-4)

    I pray this is helpful to any who trust modern version bibles.

    Blessings!

    Sister Jema:

    John the Baptist was called from the foundation of the world to be the forerunner of Christ, your called to be his wife.

    John had everything he needed to dwell in the wilderness, a coat of camels hair, and locust to eat.

    Jesus SAID:

    Luke 7:28 .... among those that are born among women there is not a GREATER PROPHET than John the Baptist, be he that is LEAST in the Kingdom of God is a GREATER (prophet) than he.

    Revelation 10:11 .... thou (you) must PROPHESY AGAIN before many people, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

    Your calling is to be a JUDGE, along the side, of your husband Christ , when he resurrects the dead back to life.

    Just as God told Gideon, you only need a FEW to destroy the Midianites, he is ONLY calling out a FEW to be JUDGES with him, and they together will DESTROY the carnal mind of those resurrected back from the dead.

    They will BE JUDGED by God's word, just as we are judged by God's word.

    Proverbs 16:6 .... by MERCY and TRUTH, iniquity is purged .......

    God BLESS YOU as SPIRIT declares his truth to us.

    Jema, I'm so glad with your kind reply, thank you brother/sister(?), your nickname doesn't reveal it).

    However, I think I was misunderstood face my defense of the accusations saying I feel myself superior, and I bellit GOD's people by heavy and not soft Judgments, as many examples of Judgment recorded in the Word of GOD. In fact, the Word is GOD and Judges us, He weigheth the spirits in the balances- Proverbs 16:2 & Daniel 5:27.

    By the way, "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

    Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the Truth;

    Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

    Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

    For we know in part, and we prophesy in part"- 1Corinthians 13:4-9).

    In the other hand, what does the Word of GOD say? Hebrews 12:3-4&6-9

    3 Consider Him that endured contradictions of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

    4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

    6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

    7 If ye endure chastening, GOD dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

    8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

    9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

    GOD bless

    Whether literal or figurative truth, its still the truth. Jesus said I am the door. That is the truth. A figurative but the truth period. He gots Head shoulders knees and toes, we know what door looks like. But its the all true what is said John 10:9. Or is it literal when it says to pluck your eye out? Well yes, if that what it takes, but better just quit the sin and keep both them good eyes. There are Three (Literal)......They are one (Figurative, not 1 being but 1,2,3 beings one is Unity, They are God(The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost), They were there at the beginning.) There are words like...........world, all, make, made, lost, fast, etc which we know to give each word in context its proper meaning. Its not for, but its for us today to know so I take it literal as it written like GEN 1:1 as I would other books, until a scripture could not be literal, buts its still speaks the truth. A figurative truth, but the TRUTH. There are parables, the beatitudes, songs, visions but the symbols explained, proverbs too. Fill me in the rest Im missing. When Jesus told Peter get ye behind me Satan, a double rebuke for trying to talk Jesus out of dying on the cross. Like the Lamentation to the King of Tyre from God too, for instance. I don't know it all and I am still learning.

    Pr.9:1

    "The House with Seven Pillars"

    "Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:" Proverbs 9:1 KJV

    This was founded before the worlds began and the Spirit announces," she hath also furnished her table." It to to which Jesus at the door alluded,Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."(Re.3:20). Everyone who heard the call and is an overcomer even a he is shall find a new name indicating his place in the Great Banquet. So this house founded on Zion helps us understand how we should approach the significance of sevens. Seven pillars are seven schedules in the abstract breaking up the covenant between God and Man. Thus the heaven mentioned includes every believer in the Man component who is adopted by the Father and at the end we are looking at the new heaven. Likewise second day ,the analogy of pillar still stands, "And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.: God calls it the earth. At the end it is the new earth. (Ge.1:10) In short the narrative about the Son whose promise to the believer is this, " 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.:( John 14:3) This is the house Wisdom has built. Seven pillars are called days since God has by a decree given his Son a day. So this indivdual calls has gone forth even before the foundation of the world.

    Seventy weeks mentioned in Daniel 9 is about a prophetic year and there are so many promises of God which are to be fulfilled. God's promise to Abraham is yet another. (Ge.12:3)

    Be that as it may, ask ourselves which is greater? The day decreed for the Son (Ps.2:7) or a prophetic year. By literal approach what you come up is dead wrong since God a Spirit was pleased that all his fulness in the Son to dwell.

    Jajaz458:

    Like I said, you don't understand what happened at Christ's resurrection.

    You DIED on the cross with Christ.

    Christ ONLY was raised.

    You were made JOINT HEIRS with Christ, you and Christ were MADE ONE.

    YOU have no free will, your DEAD, only the NEW CREATION exist.

    Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my spirit in you, and CAUSE YOU to walk in my statutes, and keep my judgements and DO THEM.

    Your right, God only sees Christ and his righteousness, you being a JOINT HEIR.

    Now, are you nothing, or has Christ's resurrection made you SOMETHING.

    Proverbs 8:19 MY FRUIT is better than gold,yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than than choice silver.

    God BLESS YOU!

    A day is decreed for the Son. To which all the days mentioned in the Abstract (Ge.ch.1) shall flow into. It is the day of the Lord and is marked with horrors for those who refused the blessedness the Lord God held out for the blessed in the Son. It is the Day of vengeance. In order to understand the passage from Isaiah we need two passages that shall throw light on the day specified in the Book of Isaiah. "For it is the day of theLord's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion"(34:8)

    "Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth./ He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;....Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth(Ps.46:8-10)". The earth abides forever since the fulness of God who lives in inapproachable light is shown in terms of knowledge. "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."(Hab.2:14). This glory is what Zion signifies. Before the foundation of the world the Lord laid the foundation stone in Zion. (Is.28:16). In the Book of Proverbs it is described as the house which Wisdom has built. The seven days marking the Abstract in the ch.1 are the pillars. God laid it perfection and it shall be in his Son a city set on a hill, which as Jesus referred cannot be hid. Isaiah refers to this work in his Son, "Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet:"(Is.28:17a)

    Day of vengeance has a beginning. To this Jesus warned of, "All these are the beginning of sorrows."(Matt.24:8)Is.34 begins thus:"Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein"(v.1) Jesus explains these sorrows in a way we can well understand since we are in the middle of it. "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquake."

    Thought for Today - October 9, 2023

    Only Trust Him

    By: Robert A. Searles

    "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3: 5, 6.

    What does it mean to trust in the Lord? Trust is the word frequently used in the old testament to mean the same as faith in the new testament, for example: to trust is to have faith, and if we have faith, we trust. It means to take refuge; to lean on; to follow; to wait . To trust in the Lord is to put full confidence in the word of God for our salvation, and for our strength as Christians, and for our daily needs. We are told not to lean on our own understanding. In other words, we are not to try to rationalize or figure out God's amazing grace, or his power, or the working of miracles, or his work of redemption in our lives; but we are simply to trust in what his word tells us. God honors those who have confidence in his word How can we trust in something with which we are not familiar? How can we claim promises if we do not know what those promises are? This is why it is so important for us to spend so much time in God's word, and in our private meditation, so that we can know what God's word has to say, then we can put our trust in it.

    "Trust and do good" Psalm 37: 3-5, In other words, when God has spoken through his written word or through the Holy Spirit in our lives, again, we ought not to try to figure out what is going on in our heart or to rationalize away the working of the Holy Spirit. Instead, we ought to trust God and do good. God's word tells us the things that are good and right. We ought to obey God immediately, with the right heart attitude, when God speaks , and trust God for the results. As we read and study the word of God, and as God reveals himself to us and we see his glory unfolded before our eyes, we ought to delight ourselves in him. He ought to be our prime source of joy
  • Jimbob - In Reply - 1 year ago
    One eighty thank you for the comment.

    It's really simple One eighty, do you Believe the Word of God?

    God promised He would preserve His Word in ( Ps 12:6-7) The Word of God is Truth, God preserved His Word in 1611 in the KJB.

    The words of the LORD are pure words.

    Every word of God is pure ( Proverbs 30:5-6) (EVERY) WORD, (EVERY) WORD of God is pure.

    In ( John 14:23) Jesus said "If a man love me, ((he will keep my words)); and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him".

    There a condition with Jesus and the Father coming unto a person and making their abode with him, what is it? ((he will keep my words))

    Keep His words.

    Then if we look at the other side of it.

    ( Jer 23:36) Tells us "for ye have (perverted) the words of the living God" (perverted) is #2015; it means to change.

    All the modern version bibles have changed the words of the living God!

    ( Jer 23) is prophecy for today about pastors that feed God's people ( Jer 23:1-2) and scatter His flock.

    What do pastors feed Gods people? The Word of God!

    Then we see ( 2 Tim 4:3-4) Where is the doctrine at today that's not sound doctrine?

    Those who do not endure sound doctrine are those who choose the bibles that (change) or pervert their words, turning from the truth.

    So there would be (perverted) scripture meaning (to change) the words, these would not be sound doctrine, this is also all modern version bibles. Then we see ( 2 Tim 3:16) "scripture that is inspired by God", the KJB.

    Truth is what matters One eighty.

    Again thank you for your response.

    God Bless you and all who seek His Truth.
  • Jimbob - In Reply - 1 year ago
    One eighty thank you for your comment, I really appreciate your kind words of encouragement.

    The words of the LORD are pure words. ( Ps 12:6-7) (pure) is #2889; it means sound, unadulterated, uncontaminated.

    Every word of God is pure ( Proverbs 30:5-6) (Every) is #3605; it means the whole, all, any or every.

    For the word of God is (quick) and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword ( Hebrews 4:12) (quick) #2198 it means to live, alive. The word of God is Alive, the word of God is not confusion!

    God is not the author of confusion ( 1 Cor 14:33) (confusion) is #181; it means instability, i.e. disorder, inconstant, unstable.

    All these different modern version bibles that change words and completely leave out whole verses are instability, disorder, they are inconstant, they are unstable! Many have changed their own words several different times! ( 1 Cor 1:10) Telle us "that we all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among us, but that we be perfectly joined together in the same mind"..

    ( Jer 23:36) "for ye have (perverted) the words of the living God" (perverted) is #2015; it means to change.

    The words of the LORD are pure words, (pure) #2889; sound, unadulterated, uncontaminated.

    It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by ((every word)) that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. ( Mt 4:4)

    EVERY WORD!

    "For we are not as many, which (corrupt) the word of God".. ( 2 Cor 2:17) (corrupt) is #2585; it means to retail, (to adulterate).

    This is doctrine that's not sound doctrine, but it is instability, inconstant, and unstable! ( 2 Tim 4:3-4) IT IS CORRUPT!

    Remember the words of the LORD are pure words, they are sound, (unadulterated), uncontaminated.

    One eighty look up ( Ps 12:7) in your Niv bible and compare it with the KJB.

    Also compare ( Mark 11:26) and ( Eph 3:9) in your Niv with the KJB.

    And here's a really big one to compare ( Col 1:14)

    This is the definition of (perverted), #2015 it means to change.

    God Bless you, and all who seek His Truth.
  • Jimbob - 1 year ago
    The words, scripture, prophecy, and a book all = The KJB.

    ( Ps 12:6) The (words) of the LORD are pure (words)..

    (words) is #565; it means commandment, something said.

    ( Proverbs 30:6) Add thou not unto his (words) lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

    (words) in this verse is #1697; it means a book, chronicles, commandment, commune (-cation) promise, saying, sentence, (concerning) thought. (The words we are told not to add unto are in (a book)

    ( Isa 34:16) Seek ye out of the (book) of the LORD, and read,..

    (book) is #5612; it means writing (the art or a document) by implying a book, evidence, learn (-ed) (-ing) letter.

    ( 2 Tim 3:16) All (scripture) is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

    (scripture) is #1124; it means a document, i.e. holy Writ (or its contents or a statement in it) to grave. to write, to describe.

    ( 2 Pet 1:20-21) The word (scripture) has the same meaning as above #1124, a document, holy Writ.

    (prophecy) is #4394; it means prediction (scriptural or other) a foreteller, an inspired speaker.

    ( Rev 1:2-3) v2 Who bare record of the (word of God) and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. v3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear (the words) (of this prophecy) and keep those things (which are written) therein: for the time is at hand.

    ( Rev 22:18-19) v18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the ((words of the prophecy of this book)), If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. v19 And if any man shall take away from the ((words of the book of this prophecy)), God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

    ( Ps 12:6-7) v7 Thou shalt keep them O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

    (preserve) is #5341; it means to guard, to protect, maintain, obey.

    The wages of sin = Death and everlasting torment in hell.

    Salvation is a very important question, and should be of the utmost importance in every Christians life.

    Don't trust your salvation to anyone. There is "no shortcut" or "free ticket" to salvation! Read the bible for yourself, and learn to pray directly to God thru his Son Jesus Christ, and IF you are sincere, you will learn the answer to your salvation question from God himself.

    I can point out a very important verse regarding losing salvation:

    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,"

    Learn to Fear God.

    Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."

    Learn to Love God.

    John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

    In summary, Become obedient to God, Repent from sin, Fear God, Love God, read your bible and pray, and you will be doing well.

    Hey Dan

    Jesse A, is right,

    John is speaking to believers who are in the progressional stages of "sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience & sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus". they're learning & putting on Christ in ever increasing measures, yet they have not yet attain to the baptismal of Christ were self is crucified & they are "dead unto sin" but are in the working out of their salvation with fear & trembling, revealing the true fear of the Lord is working within their hearts, to depart from all evil.

    In this ever increasing measures of growth in Christ/Grace/Light/Spirit 1John 1:8 is refer too, John commands them to 1John 2:1 keep repenting, remaining tender to the motions of His Spirit, with a heart devoted to the fear of the Lord until the appointed time of the Father when we are baptize with the baptismal of Christ, " thoroughly purged". We having experientially learnt the struggles of Rom 6 & 7 and have been brought to Rom 8:1,2 & their is no condemnation because His Word has

    Isa 55:11, go & sin no more, we have been brought through 1Pet 5:10 in Christ, born again of the Incorruptible Seed & thus become incorruptible too, by the Cross/ Spirit / Grace / Light shining in our hearts & received John 1:12

    through all these experiences in the working out of our salvation & in our continuing to perfecting of holiness in the love & fear of God, ever growing in Grace, we can say with John, 1John 1:1-3

    Oh, praise the Lord, Psalms 62:5 Proverbs 23:18

    2 Timothy 2:19 Psalms 93:5 " who houses we are"

    the LORD, strengthen & encourage you

    Hi John , I hope you are doing ok . Proverbs Ch 28 V 27 : He that govern unto the poor shall not lack : but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse , I'm guessing your wondering about he that hideth his eyes ? To me this means that a person who ignores the request of a poor person , just walks on by , ignores them as if they don't even exist , this person shall suffer for their cold-heartedness . I hope that answers your questions ok .

    Biblical Proof modern version bibles are not Inspired by God, but very deceptive!

    ( 2 Tim 3:16) "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness". ALL ((TRUE)) scripture is given by Inspiration of God. Inspiration is #2315; it means divinely breathed in. All True scripture is God breathed.

    The KJB says in ( Jn 7:8) "Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up ((yet)) unto this feast; for my time is not full come".

    In the KJB Jesus said "I go not up yet"

    The Nasb bible says "I am not going up to this feast".

    The Niv bible says "I am not going up to this festival".

    The Nlt bible says "I'm not going to this festival".

    The Esv bible says "I am not going up to this feast".

    The Gnt bible says "I am not going to this festival".

    In all these versions in v10 Jesus goes to the feast.

    All modern version bibles say the same thing, Jesus said "I am not going" Then In v10 Jesus went to the feast!

    All modern version bibles have (changed the words) and are saying Jesus lied!! ( Jer 23:36) The word (perverted) is #2015; it means to turn about or over, by implying (to change), pervert. They change or pervert the words of the living God and they show Jesus to be a liar!

    Would that be God breathed?

    Or would that be ( 1 Tim 4:1) .."doctrines of devils"?

    ( 2 Tim 3:16) Would saying Jesus is a liar be "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"?

    ( Mt 4:4) .. "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by (every word) that proceedeth out of the mouth of God".

    EVERY WORD! (KJB Jn 7:8) "I go not up (yet)" EVERY WORD!

    The words of the LORD are pure words ( Ps 12:6-7) v7 preserved for ever.

    ( Proverbs 30:5-6) v5 "(Every word) of God is pure" v6 "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar".

    The KJB is the scripture that's given by Inspiration of God, the pure words preserved from this generation for ever.

    Ge.2:23-25 "One'

    "And they shall be one flesh."

    Here we have the answer to the mystery of the earth. It abides forever because it signifies the Son in whom all things hold together 'and by him all things consist.'. So the unseen God is made visible in his Son, and who was before all things.(Col.1:16-17) God separated the waters below in order to make the visible and the unseen in him as one. "by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."(Col.1:20) The abstract in ch.1 consequently laid out for us a principle which Jesus Christ signifies. Ministry of Reconciliation is the key to the Fellowship of God with Man.

    This solves also the mystery of generations since they are pendant upon the day,"In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens." Let us recall the preacher, "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.(Ec.1:4)

    "And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." (v.23)

    In the light of the explanation we need examine the role of Adam as the double for the Son and the Church derived from his death and resurrection sanctifies every member and St Paul records the service of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus(1 Co.16:17)and accordingly the Spirit has included their names as well. (1 Co.12:25-27)

    "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."

    We shall discuss only the first part. Jesus explained who were worthy ("He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me."-Matt.10:37-NKJV) Adam as the head allowed nothing else with regards to his body; The book of the Proverbs refers the 'strange' woman as rottenness to his bones (Pr.12:4) we can understand from the case of King Solomon (1 Ki.11:1-3).

    25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

    Amen,

    Psalms 18:32

    Perfect:

    without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely ity, sound, without spot, undefiled,

    From tamam; entire (literally, figuratively or morally); also (as noun) integrity, truth -- without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely (-ity), sound, without spot, undefiled, upright(-ly),

    what is this to those who continue in sin for life, but regarding iniquity in their hearts, & turn from the Grace of God, Rom 8:2 their prayers are not heard Proverbs 28:9 God is not near them & why? They call not upon Him in Truth, & reject the motions of His Spirit to intercede through them, with sighing & groans that cannot be uttered.

    Oh, if they would only open the hearts to the Light of the Truth that shines in their heart, "enlighening their darkness" the blessings & goodness that God has instore for them,

    I have; after a suggestion by a sister in Christ on this site, endeavored to start a series on the attributes of God. I thought I could go from "a to z"; although I don't have anything in the "X" or "Z" letters; unless someone else can come up with something.

    The first thing I came up with was anger which is not normally something people begin with in studying God; but perhaps a topic that needs discussion. God is clearly angry with the wicked every day ( Psalm 7:11). That verse also says that He judges the righteous.

    In discussing God's reaction toward a saved individual as "chastisement" and the wicked as anger; we see a different outcome ultimately with believers not being damned every time they sin to hell. Nonetheless even with chastisement we can't say that God isn't angry. A father can be angry with a child with righteous indignation; and God as our Father certainly is upset when we grieve the Spirit ( Ephesians 4:30). Sin is sin; we clearly can't use grace as an excuse to sin more ( Romans 6:1-2). The REASON for His anger is different to some respect IF we are His children. We are as believers TRULY dead to our old nature; and if Satan attempts to renew our sinful behaviors it is foreign to our new nature; thus the Spirit contends against the flesh. ( Gal. 5:17). It is contrary to who we are in Christ DEAD TO SIN ( Galatians 2:20) if we sin as believers. If we really deceive ourselves then the truth is not in us ( 1 John 1:8). Thus without the Lord we are still dead in sins and trespasses ( Eph. 2:1); and if we do believe there is still potential for the old man to rise up but no NEED for it to happen if we continue to walk in the Spirit we will not satisfy the desires of the flesh ( Gal. 5:16). Clearly Galatians 5 in particular is a good read for that subject.

    There are some things which God particularly hates ( Proverbs 6:16-19) and one he loathes (same idea). God also hates divorce ( Malachi 2:16). Anger and hatred are justified for God

    One Eighty,

    I'm sorry but the scriptures DO NOT agree with you.

    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."

    Jesus warns that if we continue sinning only worse things will happen!

    Proverbs 1:7

    "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."

    Matthew 10:28

    "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

    Proverbs 14:2

    "He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him."

    Job 28:28

    "And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding."

    God is FEAR and LOVE! If we are wise we will love Him and fear Him!

    TKL thank you for your comments and for your kind words in defense of me. It is very much appreciated.

    It is also truly good to see someone else defending the Inspired Word of God on this site, sadly not many do!

    Every Word of God is pure! ( Proverbs 30:5-6)

    Growing daily should be important to every one of us.

    God Bless you TKL.

    The (Holy Ghost) first shows up in the Bible in the New Testament.

    ( Jn 14:26) "But the Comforter, (which is the Holy Ghost), whom the Father will send ((the Father WILL send, this is future)) in my name, he shall teach you all things, ((he SHALL teach you all things, also future tense)) and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

    John said the Father (will send) the Holy Ghost.

    ( 1 Cor 2:12-13) v13 "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

    (teacheth) is #1318; it means instructed or objectively communicated by teaching, taught.

    (Holy) is #40; it means sacred, (physically pure, morally blameless or religious, consecrated) (most) holy (one, thing) clean, innocent, PERFECT, pure.

    (Ghost) is #4151; it means a current of air i.e. breath, a spirit, (superhuman) an angel, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Ghost, spirit (-ual, _ually).

    The Holy Ghost instructed or communicated by teaching.

    ( 2 Pet 1:20-21) v20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

    v21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost instructed or communicated by teaching.

    This is speaking of the prophecy that we have today which came to us not by the will of man in 1611, but by the teaching of the Holy Ghost which compares spiritual things with spiritual, instructing He communicates and teaches you all things. That's why the KJB is the pure, preserved words of the LORD, ( Ps 12:6-7) The Words of the LORD are Perfect, Every word is pure ( Proverbs 30:5-6).

    The holy men of God who were moved by the Holy Ghost (was) the translators of the KJB.

    How could anyone possibly see this any other way?

    The Truth should be what matters if we seek it.

    God Bless all who seek His Truth.

    Sister GiGI:

    I am not you adversary, just a living stone, as are you, in the HOUSE God BUILT.

    You comments in first two paragraphs were DEAD ON, GOD'S PURPOSE, being fulfilled.

    Yet, in your third paragraph, you attribute the demise of the Amorites to THEIR FREE WILL, instead of GOD'S PURPOSE.

    Proverbs 16:4 The LORD hath made all things FOR HIMSELF, yea, EVEN the WICKED for the day of evil.

    They had no FREE WILL to do anything other than the APPOINTED WILL of GOD.

    Romans 9:17 For the scriptures SAITH UNTO PHARAOH, for this PURPOSE have I raised you up ......

    Isaiah 44:8 That saith of Cyrus, you are my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure .....

    Amazing to think about all these things.

    In LOVE, for the truth God has PURPOSED for us.

    God Bless YOU!

    Hammer63 sorry for the late reply but here it is.

    The numbers 77 or 777 or 77777 and all of them being connected to the words Jesus, Christ, Holy Spirit, LORD, or God, this is the LORD showing us who are alive today just how PERFECT HE MADE HIS WORD.

    It only confirms the Words of the LORD are pure words! ( Ps 12:6-7) ( Proverbs 30:5-6) They are Perfect in 1 Bible ONLY!

    The KJB!

    Here's one example.

    KJB ( Col 1:4) "In whom we have redemption through his blood"

    The Nasb says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins"

    Which verse would you say is Perfect?

    Blessings to you.

    Sister Jema:

    The Father ONLY sees the COMPLETED works of Christ and his cross.

    He has SENT his WORD, the Spirit of truth, so creation can also SEE what OUR Father sees, the COMPLETED works of the cross of Christ, HAVING RECONCILED the world to himself.

    Jesus said go and tell John, the lame walk, the blind see and the dead are raised.

    We see NOT YET, all things put under him, because in this age he is is ONLY calling out a PREISTHOOD, the image of HIMSELF, to judge the world with him.

    Isaiah 26:9 ...for when THY JUDGEMENTS are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS .......

    Proverbs 16:6 By MERCY (of God) and TRUTH (of God) INIQUITY is purged.....

    Psalms 148:9 To execute upon them the judgement written, this HONOUR hath all his saints.

    God Bless YOU!

    God Bless YOU!

    Every word of God is pure! ( Proverbs 30:5-6)

    The word (pure) is #2889; it means sound, clear, unadulterated, uncontaminated, innocent or holy.

    Comparing the KJB and the Nasb.

    KJB ( Col 1:14) "In whom we have redemption through his blood"'

    The Nasb says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins"

    Here the Nasb removes the blood of Jesus Christ!

    KJB ( 2 Sam 21:19) Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite.

    The Nasb says "Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite"

    Here the Nasb says Elhanan killed Goliath, wouldn't that be adding to the Word? ( Prov 30:5-6) ( Rev 22:18-19)

    KJB ( Jn 7:8) Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.

    The Nasb says "Go up to the feast yourselves; I am not going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fully arrived".

    Jesus went to the feast so the Nasb is making Jesus look like He's a liar, but ( Proverbs 30:5-6)

    KJB ( Jn 6:47) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life"

    The Nasb says "Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life"

    The KJB is the Inspired Word of God! There are many verses where Jesus tells us we should keep His Words!

    All modern versions fit perfectly with this verse ( Jer 23:36) The word (perverted) is #2015; it means to turn about or over, to change, overturn pervert, change. Someone is changing the words of the living God, that would be all modern version bibles.

    ( 1 Tim 4:1) In the (latter times which is our time now) many will give heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.

    ( 2 Tim 4:3-4) Do you not see that the Nasb is doctrine that's not sound? You could safely say its even anti-Jesus!

    Modern versions are all the same, they are only words of men, these bibles are not Inspired by God!

    The Truth matters.

    Blessings.

    God's plans for the nations

    When examining the nations after the flood and during the failed attempt to build the tower of Babel everyone spoke one language until God Himself confused it (see Genesis 10:7-9). This was associated with the geographic breaking of the continents it would appear; or perhaps there was passage along the Alaskan peninsula when it was still covered with ice to allow Asiatic peoples to cross over. There have been people that seem to treace to Egypt as well who were mentioned a few generations ahead of Eber; and it is surmised some may have come over on ships. Genesis 10:25 states

    "One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided; his brother was named Joktan." (these were the sons of Eber). The general spiritual understanding of most cultures holds on to an original concept of God and stories of a worldwide flood are universal throughout the continents. These are known as the "Epic of Gilgamesh" in the Mideast; and with different characters of 8 persons in the Chinese legends; for example. Hebrew has been said to be traced perhaps to the original language; I find it interesting that some of the characters appear to be pictures and some are letters. The eastern languages tended to have pictorial representations; but there are many complex variations in the Americas among a plethora of different Indian nations. Stories also are universal describing races of giants; which match up with the many giants before and after the flood in scripture ( Gen. 6:4); see also Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim).

    Proverbs 23:10 states "Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless". Another word for landmark is "boundary stones." Deuteronomy 32:8 states: "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel."
