Want to be a christain

What a loving and wonderful saviour us believers have in Christ Jesus. Forgive me Lord.

61 and 62, I have never understood this before, until now, If you say I will be a Christian for a while and return from where I went you are only following out of curiosity. But if you give your heart permanently and do not go back you are a believer. Jesus wants us to be a true believer forever. We must put God first above all things and all people. If we put God first then we include everyone else with us.

Mr. Hurry,

It's put in Order of Table of Contents as in the front of hand held Bible, I know it was difficult for me too, to adjust at first There's also a search bar for words, phrases & even names. If you search for Jesus name in search bar add an additional word like Jesus heals. Is there anything particular you would like help finding? Like Jesus' life Matthew, Mark, Luke & John all are books that cover that. Prophecy about Jesus Psalms 22, Isaiah 53,. Especially after the first books I've noted.

Creation, The flood, (Noah, = Genesis 6, - 9

Moses = Exodus

Hopefully this is helpful.

1st The Bible isn't written in our translations in chronological order. I noticed significant situations like that in Daniel & Ezekiel, while studying recently. It takes really getting into the WORD in deep study to get amazing revelations of dates, related events, truly significant events & people that affected much. 2 Timothy 2:15,

2 Kings 13:1 - 23rd year of Joash._.Jehoahaz begins reign +17 yrs, total for reign) over Israel in Samaria, 2 Kings 13:9 begins Joash son of Jehoahaz, Israel in Samaria) reign, 2 Kings 3:10 *37 th yr of (Joash, King of Judah ) so here the scripture purposeful shows 3 yrs difference in the dates. But search, math reasoning gets us there. I believe you noticed these because you're very observant & the HOLY Spirit may be teaching you.

Joash stil reigning in 37th year,over Judah, Jehoahaz in final three years of reign, as per vrs 1., like King Solomon appointed King as son while King David is still King & alive. 2 Kings 13:10 clarifies reign with the 'eh' in name interesting names in Bible have variations due to translation like Elijah from Old to New Tstmt. However GOD is Awesome with details to clarify who, by those. I've even wondered if there were two sons of Jehoahaz, 2 Kings 13:12 clarifies fought Amaziah King of Judah (son Joash) , 2 Kings 13:13 buried with Kings of Israel (not Judah) 1611 Version has marker at beginning vrs 14. Showing significant difference in paragraph or page, translater notes to start new thought/or similar) it states He died of his sickness, stating he wouldn't survive it. He was visiting Elisha in his last days, weeping. Amazingly GOD has this account for all who doubt the Power of GOD & HIS annointing. 2 Kings 13:20-21, Note vrs 22, jumps back again. 2 Kings 12:20-21, 2 Kings 13:12, 2 Kings 12:19, 2 Kings 14:1-3,

Hopefully these are helpful, the other details around the names help us study & really understand.

Hello, Spencer,

Whether someone is won over in a discussion or not really isn't up to us. It is a work of the Holy Spirit to convince.

For me, I wish to speak forth what I know to be orthodox doctrines because these have been wrestled with by those who sincerely wanted to have a solid scripture based answer to the questions concerning the spiritual matter at hand over the centuries since the beginning of the church age.

And in doing so, I feel that those in the discussion and those participating by simply reading will have heard something that they can study further. There is so much that can be googled now, so I would always urge anyone to look up topics and see what has been spoken by people other than myself. Then they can make a determination if what I have proposed adds up to what Scripture says. If it does not, I welcome people letting me know why they think that, so I can learn more.

I appreciate all of the team work of all you coming together

And helping to get God word out in the world.

Thanks to all

Lord I ask You to hear our prayers as we pray over each request here.

Lord I know You're touching each request each person! Lord I thank You and glorify You tonight. I thank You Jesus for saving me, us!

And for all those who would ask You into their heart tonight.

Thank you Jesus for Your love for giving Yourself for us. I glorify You.

God has heard our prayers! Each and every one.

Kim, He will keep you in perfect peace IF you keep your mind on Him. Sleep with your Bible open next to you on your pillow. Recite a scripture out loud. Repeat it . Praise music, turn it on and sleep with Bible playing on YouTube! Pray over your house! Wipe oil above your doors and windows signifying the blood of Jesus. Ask God to set His holy angels around you. Start thanking God from your heart out loud for any good thing every good gifts from the father. And believe him when he says that he loves you read Psalms 91

Helen,

When Jesus returns in the clouds,

All the graves of BELIEVERS IN JESUS, are going to be opened! :D. They'll instantly be with Jesus.

That's going to really shake up people left behind, because they neglected so great a salvation.

Salvation must occur BEFORE that moment.

Try reading the Commentary on this website. It's accessed below the search box.

Or you can Google commentaries

Type the scripture (comma), Commentaries "

Why can't I search the whole bible, in one search, as in most cases, people do not know the book etc.?

Rick,

Very well said. It is literally translated "Be continually working out your own salvation with fear and trembling."



So this tells me that it's a process and I am involved in the process of continually working it out. And then the very next verse ( Philippians 2:13) tells me who's actually doing the work.

It says "For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."



The word "works in you" is the word energizing and I see you used that word. For it is God who is continually energizing in you both to will, and to energize of His good pleasure whatever He thinks best!



It's His energy, so it's whenever He wants to energize my spirit for His Spirit to work in me. It's all according to His good pleasure.



So we're to be continually involved in the process of having our salvation worked out because it's God who is working it out. We're just the vessel. But it is God in us doing the work.

Nice talking with you brother!

My mother has been struggling to get a job that pays enough for her to get her own apartment. It feels like so many of her prayers have not been answered no matter how hard she tries. Please pray to the Lord Jesus that He will treat this matter as urgent and allow her to quickly and soon be able to secure a job within her desired salary range. Please also pray that He blesses her financially in any other way He sees fit quickly and soon.

Hi Donna, what you said about loving God, and sending his Son to be crucified for us, and that we are washed in the blood of his salvation is the basic essence of faith.

Throughout the gospels Jesus is praying to God the Father many times, when he teaches his disciples the Lord's prayer, Matthew 6:9 "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."

when he teaches his disciples the first and great commandment, Matthew 22:36-39 "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."

he also teaches his disciples how they should baptize as in Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

these are but a few examples of how we are taught to pray, the Godhead (Trinity) is explained clearly in 1 John 5:7

you have no reason to be confused, if someone teaches different they are not teaching what is written in the bible. After Jesus baptism when he was in the wilderness and tempted by the devil he didn't argue, but he did quote scripture, this is why it is so important to read our bible (KJV) on a daily basis, we need to put on the whole armor of God, as in Ephesians 6:11-18, a few years ago I started to read my bible on a daily basis, and now have an inner peace that I never had before. God bless

Matthew 7:7-8 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

If Joash died in verse 13 and Elisha died in verse 14, how is Elisha talking to Joash in Verse 14 ? Can someone explain this?

13 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.

15 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.

Hi Donna Two points anything that starts confusion is a mayday, where there is confusion is every evil work also

let everything be done decent neat and in order. I am born again by Holy spirit which works in me, I pray to God in

the name of Jesus Christ because by that name everything was done for us and in us. It Is Written

Thank you! GiGi

For responding to my question

Very helpful,

Be blessed.

Asking for strong protection and breakthrough for all of us (several prayers) and help with the loss of my dad. Asking that the Lord shower us with grace and mercy. Asking this for all others in need as well.

HI Helen That's in the category of respect and heart for a loved one fallen asleep awaiting the return

biblically the honor is carrying out or continuing there legacy or what they taught you. So nothing wrong

with heart and memories of loved ones. I've had fellow believers in my life that have fallen asleep and my

memories are what they taught me and continuing in that. So my bottom line that's an area of the heart.

The greatest comfort is knowing we will see each other again at the gathering together.

yes, Kevin, we do

Hi Natashya When your born again his relationship with you is solid by His will he God through Jesus Christ has

passed tens forgiven us all trespassesor sins, when this thing hits you you will have no problem forgiving someone

else. Also Psalm 103:12 as far as the east is from the west so far has he removed our transgressions sins from us.

Here's the cool part east and west are directions they never meet, there not like the poles, if you go north eventually you'll go south and vise versa but when you go west you will never catch up and go east. Look at

the point that's being made God through Jesus Christ forgave our sin past present and future because he knows as the Psalmist says in verse 14 for he knoweth our frame and we are dust, but to us who believe His mercy and love

and forgiveness endureth forever.

Read whole Psalm its dynamite. Last thought If you look at yourself you'll become

doubtful if you look at the world you'll get depressed if you look at others you can become miserable but when you

look at Christ you will see all Gods possibilities made available to you. We are the Righteousness of God in christ!

What you look at and believe you become! Food for Thought

GOD BLESS

Mishael,

Well, it is strange that with all of the technical abilities we have to see inside the womb now that so many still choose to have their babies in their own wombs killed by being crushed, dismembered, cut up, burned with chemical solutions, and having their brain stem punctured. So sad, and how condemning for our society!

Just 5 years ago my pro-choice niece became pregnant and had an ultra-sound at about 14 weeks. The ultra-sound distinctly showed her baby's hand with fingers spread apart! Now that is a witness!. Her son is now 4 and a real blessing. Don't know if any pro-choicers on that side of the family have changed their minds yet, because it is all about convenience and an attitude that children are mostly an interference in a person or couples life. So sad.

God's ideas are always best. I pray that more will think like He does about creating new people and protecting them once He creates them.

Thanks Sister GiGi.

It's funny how We share views of Scripture It's not the dialog that often breaks the peace It's what's sown within that reflects outwardly.

You don't have to give your view, just post the scripture and there's contention!

We shouldn't be surprised

The concept is all through scripture.

John 1:4-5.

No one is going out to seek contention, It's already there.

( Example)

Matthew 10:32-38.

God don't compromise his Holiness to exercise judgment and I don't think he asks us to when dividing the word.

We have to wonder If we're not going to win them over and they know they're not going to win us over, Why are they so adamant on keeping this dialog going? Perhaps they're after the audience. And this is where I believe 2 John 1:10-11 applies.

And if we've been battling this for I know over a year!! Perhaps this verse apply.

Matthew 7:6.

My question was when do it apply and if we're so fundamental about everything else why not this?

In the secular we call the democrats "liberals" But aren't we also as a whole.

And this especially goes for those who say salvation is by works and not by grace when Paul makes that clear all through Galatians starting here-

Galatians 1:6-8.

Paul says let them be a curse

But we call them Brother.

He also emphasize it in

Philippians 3:2-11. And this is the only "religion" given to Man and it slew us.

Now this is a peaceful dialog that you and I are having but some would say it's contentious.

And by the way I have been guilty of this as well, that's why I carefully say WE.

Yes this is difficult but did the Lord say it wouldn't be?

Be strong in the Lord

God bless.

Seems like I have rebelled against God my entire life until now. He has delivered me from drug addiction, stealing, and the list goes on. The day I realized God was real I was on the way to have an abortion. The night before and on the way to have the abortion, I kept praying, Lord just give me a sign. I pulled up there were protester screaming. I went in the building and noticed it was dark and very warm. The nurse came out and said the power was off and no procedures would be performed that day. The clinic was the only business without power on the whole street. I am blessed I have a beautiful 2 year old and is truly Gods child.

Yes, George, that is the more important thing people should consider if they do not know what eternity will bring for them.

I pray that these will seek to find out soon!

In my heart mind and soul i know that Jesus will heal me from all things! It's His words that go right thru me!! Give all the praises glory and honor to Him that will live for all eternity and I with HIM who gave His life for me!! Touch His ROBE!!! You will see! Thank You Lord Jesus Christ of All!!! Amen!!!

I agree, if this was such a dangerous "pandemic" (panic with "dem" inside of it). then we would definitely be testing and requiring vaccinations for those breaking our laws be illegally crossing our border when those who come here legally are required to be vaccinated or else quarantine. I think this administration is deliberately trying to spread covid across the United States because they think their party has something to gain with the pandemic continuing, especially if it gets more "out of control" (as they would describe it). My guess is that it will die down in a year or so, because that is what happened with the other SARS viruses. I think it will continue to mutate but each mutation will weaken it, not strengthen it.

So, as citizens we should be prepared to stand up to those who are restricting our liberty rights through mandates and other scare tactics.

Good question, Helen. I am not sure if there is any Scripture on tis, but someone else may have something to point us to.

Spencer, Yes it is a "different" gospel in that it ignores clear teaching in the Word that teaches that people are saved through believing that Jesus' death and resurrection saves a person from the just judgment of God on sinful men.

Let's hope that this does not set off another round of disputation on this like it did just a week or so again. I think enough was probably said in those discussions for those involved to get their points across. I am glad to agree with you.
