That you would take your time to send such a detailed response has brought me to tear's. Knowing that God is hurting because I am hurting makes me want to succeed more. I do feel closer to Him. I will continue my baby steps and keeping in his word. I will never stop reaching for Him because I need Him so badly. Thank you for caring. You have no idea how much it means!
Ms Veronica Dessesseau on Proverbs 1 - 3 years ago
I want to comment on Proverbs Chapter 1. I just would like to say, I'am a person who believes in the one and only true and Living God, Jesus his mighty son and the powerful Holy Spirit. I've seen them work in my life, so Holily and extravagantly, and they continue to do so. I give them all the glory, praise and the honor!. Godly wisdom is so VERY important to live in, especially in these last days, by the power of the Lord in us, because this world is sick! and is constantly trying to tell the Body of Christ, and the unsaved who believe in God, to live a life(or have lifestyles) VOID of Godly wisdom! AND reverence for him. It's sickening to see, how many of this fallen world, reject, Christian Values, and don't want to follow the Lord's instructions in the Bible, specifically, the Book of Proverbs, to live honorable lives! They want and like to follow the kardashians and the jenner's, but not to reverence the Lord, and obey his instructions, for daily living! It's sad seeing the times we are living in, and how the words of fools of sinning, of the world, in general and especially the entertainment industry (e.g. talk shows & t.v. shows, that make mockery of sin, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, & living RIGHT), are considered the "norm" & "cool." But if a UNSAVED wise person, along with the Body of Christ, comes along and tells another unsaved person to follow the BIBLES' Godly wisdoms, and live by them, they're laughed at, talked about and scorned! Unsaved elderly people, that ARE truly honorable, and truly believe in God, and their lives/lifestyles show it!, are always telling young people to live and do right! and not give into the worlds', and it's stupid satanic pop culture peer pressures. Me personally, I'm glad that I can't & don't want ANYTHING to do with ANYONE, who doesn't want to live in Godly wisdom permanently!. Christianity and it's values is the only way to live! The Lord makes it easy to live in his Godly wisdoms for daily living, and I'm glad!
Leslie,Your confusion is from lack of Bible knowledge,right?In all honesty,whatever your are told,even here on this site, you need to confirm for yourself from the scriptures. God speaks to us from his word,and you have done well to come here.The 1000yrs is likely a reference to the millennial kingdom,which is yet to exist on Earth.It is not a "reset",but it is a fullfilment of a promise to the nation of Israel.
Now,more importantly,how to search the Bible for yourself at this site.In the search window you can type in any word and the site will list each instance of use.Once the page opens with the list of locations where the word is used,you can then limit the search to one of four options,all,old,new or apocrypha.In my opinion,only the first three are useful and apocrypha is very questionable as to being biblical at all.A hardcopy/book that performs,as this site,is called a concordance.Three concordances that already exist are the Strong's, Young's and Cruden's,and again my opinion is,that Strong's will suit you best,in that it is ready to further your word searches by listing references to the original languages of Hebrew and Greek.
Since you refer to yourself as "strict",I suspect that you have an opinion of salvation,that it is something you do that gets you to heaven.And since you are a sinner,as is every other person,except Jesus,you need complete forgiveness from God,to enter heaven.To become a saved person,the Bible teaches that you must trust that,in his dying on the cross,Jesus paid all your debt of sin,all your sins,past,present and future.It is by the grace of God that this is made known to you.You must speak to God,and you will,by his grace,recieve a personal understanding from him,as to what his son did for you on the cross.If he truly has forgiven you,it is for eternity.Your trust in him to save you must be sincere,and it will be tested as your old nature will resist changes he will make in you.read 2Timothy 2:15 U R in my prayers.May God bless U.
Thank you so much for making this KJV of the Bible and its WORD so available to us. It allows Holy Spirit understanding by the quickness that one can relate Scripture verse with all other relevant Scripture verses. I would love to have you help me spread the Word of God through a unique memorization program which fulfills verses in Psalm 1:2 His delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law doth he meditate day and night; and Psalm 119:11 Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
In these end time days, there are too few Christians memorizing Scripture. No wonder Christ ponders the question, Luke 18:8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" I will be 95 on July 21, 2021 so I have a lot to accomplish before I go to be with Him!
I've heard many people including "mature" Christians quote "Resist the devil and he will flee from you." This scripture is conditional upon our submission or surrender to God. If we attempt to resist the devil having not humbled ourselves and submitting to God, we leave ourselves open to the enemy's attacks. Lord let us humble ourselves and pray and seek your face and turn from our wicked ways that we may be used by you in your End Time army and lead many to Jesus unto salvation. Help us remember to daily put on the full armor of God according to Ephesians 6. We love you and need you Lord Jesus.
Jesus said a man must be born again , yet Jesus was not born again , he was born once in Bethlehem and needed not to be born again , because he was and is the Son of God .
Jesus had access to the father by his birth of the Father and also Mary . This is how he can say he is the door to God , and no man can come to God but through him . He and his father are one in that way . But the disciple and others can not understand this . Jesus death on the cross for sins past made the way possible to approach God , the first step , Jesus is the door to God for all men because of his relationship to God . No sin ever between Jesus and God .
I suppose there is so much that could be said . But when you know Jesus and how he brings you to God it's not hard to understand.It makes more sense when experiencing coming to God through Jesus .
I hope this helps someone .
Jesus is the Son of God and can bring you to God the father ! Amen!
If we believe that Jesus is the Son of God it's because God enables us to do that . It's not a mental convent only .
Many just can not understand that being the Son of God means that he comes from God and is of God and not of this world in a spiritual way , yet he was a true man by virgin birth . He was empowered by God in a way that was intimate and beyond any mans knowing of before . He demonstrated it so often , like walking on water , calming storms , going through walls , etc etc
He had a relationship with the father before the world because God is before the world was .
Truly the Son of God and empowered by God , and so much more , yet Still the Son of God and no more . God is still God the same as he always was and will be . Jesus is given the highest place at Gods right hand as Gods first Son .
Do not confuse who Jesus is , that could be another Jesus if you are not careful . The truth bears witness , we can know God and Jesus whom God is in by birth , and we can have this same fellowship
As Jesus prayed in the garden before his crucifixion.
Yes the devil try's to confuse who Jesus is and yet , God is still able to draw us to him . If God be for us who can be against us ? None .
I think today people comes up some way or another a point of view and go to the scripture to authenticate it, rather than first go to the scripture with openness of mind and let the Holyspirit reveal truth
Hi Rob, I'd you truly believe we're blind and you're not, and you say we will never see it until we're saved, Why are you giving us all your time on the trinity doctrine that can't help us, Spend your time on teaching/Preaching the Gospel that open eyes and save lives, Isn't that's what you're called to do?
I am a baptized Christian and have been reading the Bible daily 4 over 25 years ,i know what i am and am not supposed 2 do and say and believe and every single day i am ashamed of myself for the things that i do and say and think and feel and all the things that i should have said and done ,in other words every day i sin and every day i am sorry and ashamed of myself 4 my sins .After all this time i think i should b able 2 go 1 whole day without sinning ,i am truely weary of my own sinfull self .I thank my God ,the Holy One of Israel ,and his sinless only begotten son ,Jesus Christ the Righteous for being so long suffering and generous and kind and mercyfull 2 me ,even though they know me and all my horribleness better than i even know my own sinfull self ,i am truely thankful that God is not like us ,he is perfect and pure and beautiful and faithful and mercyful and very kind hearted and understanding ,nothing like me !
Ive just been reading through comments and questions etc ,im not a great typist so please forgive me ,there is so much i could and want to say but i will stick to main points ,first if english is your 2nd language you really need to read the Bible in your 1st language ,second i have been reading Bible 4 over 25yrs every day and i know ive read it all over 50 times ,u must read it all ,i am still learning and discovering new things in it ,u will not understand everything immediately ,it reveals itself slowly and all of it is neccessary and it interprits itself ,u must b very patient ,determined and persistant ,your faith grows with your understanding .God is love .
The King James version is the correct one. Use only the KJV. Do not trust any other version. Stay away from NIV or any other. There are errors in the new translations. Throw it in the dustbin. And get yourself a Strong's concordance based on the KJV. It will teach you the original meaning of every word. Read also John 17:6
If money is your struggle, the Lord will understand if you don't have a ceremonious wedding. Also, dont get married under the law. Our system of marriage certificates is not Godly. Simply a commitment to one another is being married under the vision of God. Don't let yourself burn with passion if it will make you sinful.

John 3, where Jesus is speaking to the Pharisee, Nicodemas: Jesus tells him he must be born again. When we are born again, we ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ. He is available to be your personal Teacher. He opens up the Bible to you. As you are able, He explains your questions.
It involves daily study of your Bible. Works best if you turn off media and listen for the Holy Spirits voice. It is not audible. He reveals Jesus to your born again spirit. With much practice, you will become more in tune to the Holy Spirits presence.
It's more beneficial to begin in the New Testament, learning just who Jesus is. Once that foundation is secure; you'll understand the Old Testament in your study travels.
Attend a Church that is teaching Bible Scripture. Some of them teach "works" or put more emphasis on counseling and relationships. You grow faster if you are learning scripture and how to enter into Gods Presence with praise and worship.

Yes, you are right. These two commandments summarize the Ten Commandments. First, love God. To understand this, one must have the correct God, not a god we necessarily shape to conform to what we would like Him to be. Some think that God is not going to send people to hell, or that He will forgive everyone. They have created a god that does not exist in the Bible accounts. It is not my place to say who will and will not be forgiven by God, as He says "my thoughts are not your thoughts" and, frankly, He is so complex that I doubt anyone could possibly comprehend Him. The best we can do is know Him through Jesus, as Jesus said "he who hath seen me hath seen the Father." Hopefully, Jesus will be merciful to all and give the kingdom to all. Even though He said "the son of man must be lifted up that He may draw all men unto Him," so many other places indicate that the branches that do not bear fruit will be pruned off and cast into the fire, and new branches grafted into the vine (Him). We pray that God will be merciful and compassionate to us all for the sake of His Son. Nevertheless, we should keep His commandments. The 10 Commandments were not part of the law that was taken away at the cross. As you know, the tablets of the law were placed inside the ark, while the handwritten laws of Moses were attached to the outside of the ark and were called "the handwritten laws that were against us" in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. Those were the ones done away with at the cross. The Ark of the Covenant was a symbol of Jesus, His eternal unblemished nature (gold), His mortal body (acacia wood), His Word (manna), His resurrection (Aaron's rod), and His not breaking the 10 Commandments (unbroken tablets). These things were in the ark. So, we should endeavor to keep the sabbath, honor our parents, etc. as He would have us do. This is how we express our love for Him.
This is a wonderful site due to the great teaching here, When I first found it I was ambitious and eager to help defend the faith, but soon realized this site didn't need that from me, there's a time for that. I've learned to sit back and learn how to be still. There's a lot to learn from that. Thank you
