I heard this preacher say that Solomon went to hell! Is this true? Did Solomon not return back to GOD??

O Jesus, as you married Peter and his wife ,(lightly mentioned in the Gospel) with Your acts of wedlock, so shall this child of God get one. Prepare the tongue to speak the things sharp witted after Your Gospel to guide the family true to the target. And keep up the faith for other principle learning opportunities to help while waiting. Amen

O Jesus, as You betook Abraham and his grandchildren to a new land flowing with healing waters and rich soil, so can You still betake Your servant to the desired spot.

Dear Who,

Yes, I did say that. If you want a more complete explanation, I suggest that you visit a website like "Got Questions" or "Compelling Truth" or similar Christian site after googling What is the Trinity? or "How can God be One Being inn three distinct persons?

These sites may have better ways of saying what i was trying to convey.

As a Christian and due to some decisions that I had made one of them Kratom I also found myself indulging in other things that were not good such as New Age music which I knew better and it opened doors to demonic spirits attacking because of the oppression I was acting out what the oppression was like for example spirit of anger and bitterness which led road rage and even some cussing and I knew something was wrong because Christian shouldn't do that It all started because I started taking Kratom for pain that was the doorway Four days ago I went to church I got prayed for went through a deliverance cleansing and as soon as they prayed for me and I repented and rebuked it all The crazy thoughts of crate and went away it was constant thoughts going through my head when I went through that prayer afterwards it's like the thoughts were gone I felt new again. No more anger no more bitterness but I will say that there were times or even now when I start questioning whether or not the kratom was what started it maybe it was just listening to New Age music that started it because that is an open doorway just alone by itself you don't listen to that music because it's like a portal to evil spirits So I had to remind myself in order to stay on track with my walking with Christ is basically to be in my word every day and listening to praise and worship and living the best that I can for that day and trying to live the way that Christ would've lived and not bring pleasure to myself because that is wrong. When I start to ask myself what will Jesus do? And I know for a fact he wouldn't of been taking drugs for pain and yes he did drink but that was a new one it was different than alcohol of today However he knew when to put others and God first and not himself and that's how I'm going to try to act every day in order to get over the kratom.

Giannis, Well said.

Also, I would like to add that Jesus' promise of the Spirit to the disciples at the Last Supper indicates that the Holy Spirit already existed. So, like you said, with so many different views even among believers, what does one believe is true? The person who says that there is one Holy Spirit who is eternally everywhere present (which is how He can dwell within every believer) or the person who claims that the Holy Spirit comes into existence in believers by gestation, (as Alex states), and that since every believer births a new Holy Spirit, there are multitudes of Holy Spirits rather than one.

This is why we are to test the spirits and what others put forward as "truth" to see if what is being presented aligns with Scripture or not and that Scripture is "rightly divided". I am thankful to teachers and pastors and fellow believers who help me understand the Word of God, filter out false views, and reinforce truthful views for me.

I believe that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to the church as a whole so that, even though each individual believer is given the Spirit, the church is a unit (a body of believers) and we are to strengthen, instruct, and correct one another in matters of the faith handed down by Jesus through the apostles.

God Bless you. Keep up the good work you do on here. You have much of value that you add to our conversations here.

Hello Donna, what a lovely way to begin your day!

I love hearing the birds early in the morning. However, I do not like the incessant cawing of the gaggle of crows that roam our neighborhood. they can make quite a clamor. But I guess they are "conferencing" with each other.

I love that the days are warming up. I've been planting flowers these past few days and love to watch them grow and blossom. My friend and I swap flowers as we have been working together on her veggie garden. Will love the fresh produce when it is ready. It has been a real blessing sharing this time with her.

I hope you have a great day. I continue to pray for Daniel.

Yes,Anaseini "HE" forgives us every single time..thank you for reassuring us.that no matter how close we are to him..with the blink of an eye ,or beat of the hearth or a single breath..we can sin...I've had a real struggle trying to put a block on this,its hard to nail this down and make it sink in...If however WE realise WE ARE Human..FLESH and BLOOD..human minds and thoughts.we are like it or not , invisibly stained with sin as well as invaded perpetually through Lucifer "the prince of the power of the air ". reminding us that.."How do you know that HE." God is right...What a CHALLENGE. please,please thank you Anaseini.for your good remembrance.please continue your journey to Damascus as our dear brother Saul.

@David Morgan - I wanted to add something to this- You can be'in this world and not of it or of this world and not in it'. The former has God as their father, the latter has their human father. Which do you want to be? Be like Jesus, and God is your father- and he has always been there for you.

Children are difficult- you can't hold their hand. You have to let them do on their own, sometimes hinting at a reward. This is the way of God- he wants you to do what makes him happy because it is in your long-term best-interest to do so- and doing so yields great rewards.

It means that they are the most jesus-like in character. They are humble, needy, in some ways giving all that they have to help others. In all walks of life, when people are hurting the most, enslaved, crushed, broken down, trodden on- they are the most worshipful and needful of God.

And God likes it when people obey him and need him.

@David Morgan - Yes, honor your father and your mother. This doesn't mean you need to leave flower or anything like that. It means that while they were not necessarily there for you, they still gave you life. If you feel wronged by them, forgive them. How can God forgive you, if you do not forgive them?

God wants one things from you- be like Jesus. In every way that you can be. Love god with every erg of your being. Your parents gave you life, from God, but they don't define the man you are. You do that. Be like Jesus, and I promise you, it will be worth it.

Laura,

I just want to comment on the word mansion used in John 14:2 and let you know that this word mansion is not what we would normally think of when we hear the word mansion. If you want clarification on what it means, I can provide.

As for your questions, I will refrain from answering as Suze has graciously stated that she will provide you an in-depth scriptural response. I look forward to reading!

@Teresa - If that person doesn't want to hear your problems, then talk to someone else. Discussing problems has nothing to do with God. Discussing problems, helps you get it out of your mind, let's you verbalize it, and in many ways this helps the mind function because it frees up the resources it's using, just holding on to the idea and the associated frustration. Find someone whom you respect, and that respects you and ask them if you can talk to them about problems and perhaps get their advice. You don't have to do what they say, but you can listen. And you both can toss the problem around and discuss it. Asking someone else is a way to gain perspective, or leverage, on your problem- and there is nothing wrong with that.

I don't think I agree with you dear Suze.

There is a difference between trying to follow God's way/commandments and fail and subsequently repent and be forgiven AND do sin deliberately, especially live in a sinful situation with no intention to repent at all. Paul advices christians not to even have anything to do with such persons. 1 Corinthians 5:11-12

"But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat ...But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore PUT AWAY from among yourselves that wicked person."

They should either warn their pastor that that situation can not be tolerated any more or change pastor or even leave that church.

The verse you are looking for is in 1 Timothy 5:24. GBU

When I search for 'Og' you don't find it. Yet it's in Numbers 21:33. Where else in the Bible is it listed?

Dear Louise:

I love the fact that God covered every precious word.

1 Corinthians 4:4

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

I prayed and God gave me these verses that I may grow in them.

1 Corinthians 16:14

Let all your things be done with charity.

1 Corinthians 13:4

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

1 Corinthians 13:5

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

1 Corinthians 13:6

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Colossians 3:14

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Exodus 14:14

The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Grace unto you and peace from our Father in Heaven and The Lord Jesus Christ.

Please God hear the prayer of Cynthia for her daughter Bernadine that is under attack by the devil. Please Holy Spirit flow through her that she hears clearly Your voice God and she be a testimony for You I pray in the name of Jesus Christ!!

Please reflect on Psalms 23, Psalms 91, and 1 Peter 5:7.

My fellow Believer BJ,

I love your enthusiasm.

2 Peter 1:2

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

Edward,

I think the oil would probably represent our readiness. I do not say this because the bible teaches it. It is just my guess. In the Parable of the Ten Virgins ( Matthew 25:1-13), it tells us that only five of the ten were prepared and ready. Verse 1 tells us that they all took their lamps to meet the bridegroom, but five of them took no oil.

A lamp in those days was a torch. It was a stick with cloth wrapped around it. They would soak the cloth in oil and they would light it, and they would bring an extra bottle of oil along to keep it lit. There were 10 virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. So they are taking their station along the route. Five had oil and five did not.

Verse 10 is the key to this entire parable. They were ready, and they went in. And after they went in, the door was shut. Then the moral of the story would be in Verse 13: Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

In Verse 12, when the master of the feast inside the door says I know you not, it is the same thing Jesus said in Matthew 7:23. He says "In that day many people are going to come to me and say, Lord, Lord, have we not done many things in your name? Cast out demons, premiered many miracles." And Jesus says, in that day I will say I never knew you.

As far as our readiness and our lamps burning, if we belong to Christ, our lamps will always be burning. Jesus Christ is our light. We are always ready because the light of Christ is always in us.

Hope this helps!
