  • Jesse - In Reply on Exodus 14 - 5 years ago
    Don,

    We get some sort of hint of this in Mark 1:41-45. Jesus had just healed a leper. In Verse 44 he commanded the man to tell no one but to go and show himself to the priest. But what would be the reason for Jesus commanding him not to tell anyone else? And by the way, this leper who was just healed, in his excitement he began telling everyone, disregarding the command Jesus gave him.

    If you notice that throughout the gospels, whenever large crowds would start gathering around Jesus, He would depart from the crowd. You would think that the more the better, right? But Jesus avoided large crowds.

    Jesus performed many miracles. And because of the miracles, He was attracting large crowds. People weren't coming because they wanted to hear the message. They were coming to see the miracles. This is probably why Jesus would command this leper not to tell anyone that He just healed him. Jesus was never looking for fame. He was never trying to attract a crowd. He knew why the crowds were coming. He knew that they weren't coming to hear the message, but that they were coming to see the miracles.

    You see, the Lord didn't want an excitable crowd following Him. He didn't want people coming to Him for the wrong reasons, the wrong motives.

    Hi Sam, I imagine you are in a state in the US where employers are also required to be under the law of covid restrictions and face fines or worse. The covid restriction laws in certain states upon employers are in place until at least late spring 2022. There may be states that have not enforced these covid restrictions upon the employers that one can still flee to

    (for employment) without seeking revenge or hardening the heart and losing the peaceable way of Salvation if the vaccines seem to be burden to one's beliefs. Regarding employers, the restrictions are the same for an employer with at least two employees to thousands of employees. The witness of the true believing Christian is not to condemn others to hell but to lead to (by example) salvation in Jesus Christ while time remains.

    God bless our meditations.

  • Adam - In Reply on Leviticus 13 - 5 years ago
    The 'vaccines' for covid are different than flu vaccines which have years of testing data before being offered for humans. What they call a covid vaccine is just an experimental injection of a science experiment. It's already proven to not work. If it works, then why are those who had the 'vaccine' still getting covid? And if it's so safe, then why have so many people died from it. Shall I risk death to avoid death? That doesn't make sense to me. Eating right and exercising and keeping our immune system strong is the natural and best way to protect against this. Even if someone wants more, you can still find medicine that has been tested safe for all ages that has been around for 65+ years and used against malaria. In hundreds and tens of thousands of people tested- it has a 100% success rate against covid and little to zero side effects and the data is transparent and nonpartisan. Unlike this experimental injection which has caused an unknown amount of death, is highly political, not transparent, and the media and government who like to control people are pushing it hard, but even if you get it you're still forced to wear masks. Some have admitted to using tissue from aborted animal fetuses for vaccines, even human blood, and this is wrong. Some say it affects your RNA. In this culture of people shaming each other for asking questions and asking for transparency, I think this whole thing stinks. In fact, the CDC already admitted that the death count in the US isn't even true. Only 6% of the reported deaths are covid. And literature from a few years ago report covid as a cold virus. About 3 million people die in the US every year and about 3 million are born. Many of these deaths are the same year after year- heart disease, lung cancer, accidents, obesity, abortion, flu, pneumonia. And what we see this year and last is no different- same amount of death (increased with population), but flu and pneumonia are gone- instead reported as covid. That's wrong.
  • Tim Clifton - In Reply on Leviticus 13 - 5 years ago
    Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods. That means you pay taxes etc. since God commands us to keep every ordinance for the Lord's sake. That means you keep the speed limits as a goal, and do what you're told. Our peaceable walk in this world is a testimony to the ungodly, and will judge them as they are condemned to hell forever. When your so called 'free will' goes against these commands of God, it is nothing but SELF will and sin. These commands were given under the Caesars, who burned Christians as torches and fed them alive to lions. Our corrupt government is not quite there yet are they? As for the covid vaccine and your job, do what you think is right, but don't complain if you defy your boss and get fired. In fact, get fired with grace and kindness, and ask God to guide you. I teach biology, and the covid is a flu vaccine, that will help with antibodies. If they stick in unknown control poisons, it is not proven, and anti government rebels tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater. And is God able to keep poison from hurting you. Ask Paul at the camp fire in the rain at night on the beach. I'd suggest to get a letter of belief from a Bible believing pastor and go the route of peace and love. See you in heaven! Tim
  • Carleton - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 15:5 - 5 years ago
    I was up close to seeing a born again experience happen in now a brother from reading a children's bible story book. This person came to the US with another language as his own to see what happened to his older brother who had been born again here while travelling. This older couple used the children's bible story book in morning devotions with this young man for several months because he could understand the simple English words with the pictures. One morning he suddenly understood his present position in God as a sinner and by faith reached out to Jesus for salvation and was renewed in the Lord's Spirit. He walked a different life and understanding with peace with God and man from that day on. He has raised a Christian family where children now are also born again. All from a simple country older couple using a bible story book for he and through him others to be saved.

    When Jesus healed people why didn't he want anyone to know?
  • Tim Clifton on Jude 1:4 - 5 years ago
    Whatever "Ordained...." means in Jude 1:4, it has to do with the immutable counsel of God that transcends time and is far above our understanding. For who can know the mind of God, and can any of you be His counselors? If God is willing to put up with vessels of wrath (this is what ordained means) fitted for destruction, who alive can ask Him why, or have the slightest hope of understanding His ways. Is He fair? You'd better hope not: the cross proves that. Is He love? He is love, and a love that fits perfectly with His holiness, that would instantly slay us all in hell if it wasn't for a love that knows no human bounds. So what does it mean when He says, 'as many as were ordained to eternal life believed', or 'you don't believe because you are not my sheep'? It's certainly NOT because there is any goodness in us that He saw outside of time. No, no, it remains in His unknowable counsel that is both outside of time and our understanding. Your job and duty is to fall before Him in fear and honor, and give Him every breath you will ever breath in this life, for who can know His unsearchable mind?
  • Chris - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 15:5 - 5 years ago
    Hello Richard. KJB Online is a public website & so for obvious reasons phone numbers & other contact information are not allowed & what others see on the Site is what I see as well. So your number wasn't published to me.

    You've obviously done a lot of work in this area (& possibly others), for which you would need a Website of your own to make your work available for others to read, digest & discuss. This medium is inadequate for that type of presentation, only for relatively short sharp responses. I have sometimes used several 'pages' for a question that required a detailed response, which was deemed too 'wordy' by some. So I understand your problem; a personal Website would be the way to go & I could engage with that.

    You seem to have detected my character as one who has "rejected & criticized the Glorious thingswriting obtuse & obfuscating words". I might have done so if I knew what those 'Glorious things' were. I think that you may not be aware also, that many on this Site are well read in the Scriptures, having read through the Bible several times over. To those who don't know the Word well enough, your discovery of such things might indeed pique their interest in their quest to learn more of the present & future. But for others, we already come with a solid understanding of that which is revealed & if we're presented with something that is extra-biblical (e.g. over 100 references to the U.S. in the OT), then it becomes something of a personal decision to accept or reject. Since I have very little to go on, except for the short discussion on Ephraim & Dan, I'm sorry I haven't detected anything in your comments to urge me to pursue this. Thank you for your time Richard & may you continue to enjoy the Lord's blessings.

  • Erech Christ Nimrod on Isaiah 40 - 5 years ago
    Wait, Pray, Meditate on Father God. Be a Spiritual detective and seek the lessons to be learned as we walk through and out the valley of the shadow of death (23rd Psalms). God is LOVE ( 1 John 4:8, 16). And like a Good Parent, Father God must Give tough LOVE at times. We will, and are by Faith, Flying like Eagles right here and right now through the Spirit of God In Us. We wait on the LORD to Fly Higher to get Stronger. This time in history looks scary (Matthew chapter 24). But We WIN like Jesus Christ WON!!! Christ Conquered death for us ( Revelation 1:18). Amen. God and Christ LOVES us.

  • Richard Duff - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 15:5 - 5 years ago
    Hello Chris,

    These things are far too lengthy to type into this format allowing a max. of only 2,000 characters. Although I have over the years typed some of these things up, that total is not even probably a fourth of what I have found, to which I have anyway still probably typed up over 200,000 words....so you can see that is a problem.

    Perhaps you know someone here in the States that you can phone-connect with, and then they can "conference-call" to me and I can then spend a few hours showing both of you these things(?) We could also do it in multiple calls-conversations, if you and he would like, to not be on the phone quite so long each time.

    Or, if you can somehow get me your email address...since this - this at first seeming sound, good, and valuable site, but then proving to be counter-productive - will not allow folks to swap personal contact information so as to further accommodate, build, and nurture John chapter 17 Glorious True Christian relationships. Knowing of no other way to contact them, I have even written the site managers directly in this system, asking them to let me send my contact info to others; but these folks have not yet responded to me, yea or nay. (Did my phone number even get to you in the previous email? On my end here the site management apparently deleted the number, they returning to me my own writing, sending it back to me about a day later, the phone number blocked out...but, again, did my number make it through to you?)

    But now, Chris - although I hope I am wrong, and that you will somehow still call me and spend the time needed on the phone to indeed prove me wrong...but I sadly now know what and who you are - you have now twice in your responses rejected and criticized the Glorious things I was telling you of, writing obtuse and obfuscating words of supposed "problems", rather than, as a True Christian would, responding with alert interest and full attempt at belief with alive excited desire to see and know these Truths.
  • Murray Codorwel Vengethasamy - In Reply on Exodus 3:15 - 5 years ago
    Examine what is going on in the world and read Matthew 24 in conjunction with Luke 17, Zechariah 12 and Daniel 11 & 12.

    Remember what JESUS said in John 6:63 : "It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh profits nothing.The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life"

    My advice to you : Do not submit to the opinions and doctrines of men (flesh), believe JESUS (WORD OF GOD)

    Amen
  • Murray Codorwel Vengethasamy - In Reply on Hebrews 1 - 5 years ago
    Your answer is found in REVELATIONS chapter 21.

  • Richard in Christ - In Reply on Genesis 22:14 - 5 years ago
    Hi S Spencer,

    No problem sir. Here are a couple sections from the Apocrypha books that I know of. A couple good Scriptures on death of those who are with the Lord.

    Wisdom of Solomon 2:23-24, Wisdom of Solomon 3:1-9, Wisdom of Solomon 4:7-16, Wisdom of Solomon 5:15-16,

    Ecclesiasticus 14:11-18, Ecclesiasticus 19:18-20, Ecclesiasticus 41:3,

    A couple from the Book of Enoch: 58.3 And the righteous will be in the light of the sun and the chosen in the light of eternal life. And there will be no end to the days of their life and the days of the Holy will be without number.

    62.13 And the righteous and the chosen will be saved on that Day and they will never see the faces of the sinners and the lawless from then on.

    62.14 And the Lord of Spirits will remain over them and with that Son of Man they will dwell, and eat, and lie down, and rise up, forever and ever.

    62.15 And the righteous and chosen will have risen from the earth, and will have ceased to cast down their faces, and will have put on the Garment of Life.

    62.16 And this will be a Garment of Life from the Lord of Spirits; and your garments will not wear out, and your glory will not fail, in front of the Lord of Spirits.

    As these are just some things besides the verses in the NT we have. Of coarse the ungodly and those who are against the Lord death is detailed to not be good throughout all Scripture.

    God Bless Spencer.
  • Chris - In Reply on 1 Corinthians 15:5 - 5 years ago
    Hello Richard. I can understand that Ephraim is seen as Joseph, but why mention Joseph, when his other son, Manasseh is mentioned separately in Rev 7? Joseph was generally seen by his sons' names, but here, Manasseh is separated, Ephraim is not mentioned, but Joseph is.

    And of course, Dan is missing from Rev 7 & as you referred to Judges 5:17, "Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches." Both the territories of Dan & Asher were hard against the Mediterranean with their major ports of Joppa & Tyre respectively. You seem to have found a special answer to this, & since calling you won't be possible, you may like to share here what you have learned that is different to what Judges 5:17 indicates. As well as that mysterious verse that gives inconclusive proof to use only the KJV to the rejection of all others and the USA-in-the KJV proofs. You're keeping all of us on tenterhooks. Thank you.
  • Forgiveness for every sin of the ten commandments - In Reply on 1 Thessalonians 1:4 - 5 years ago
    Yes He will forgive you. We need to come to God and ask Him for forgiveness and restoration.

    Pencil these scriptures on the back page of your Bible. 1 John 1:9 and Hebrews 8:12. God cannot lie.

    Part of turning from our sins, is following Jesus, every day until He returns to earth to catch us up to him.

    The baby is alive in heaven with God. He said, "All souls are Mine". Keep a bookmark in the Book of John chapter 3.

    May God our Father comfort you in this time.

    John 14:2,3

    2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

    3 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.

    (It is at the time of Christ's return that Christians are taken to heaven to be where Christ is. If Christians were already with Christ prior to that, there would be no need for Christ to receive them to himself.)

    1 Corinthians 15:22,23

    22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

    23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

    (It is at the time of Christ's return that Christians are made alive. If Christians were already alive prior to that, there would be no need for them to be made alive.)

    1 Thessalonians 4:15-17

    15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

    16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

    17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

    (It is at the time of Christ's return that Christians are caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. If Christians were already with Christ, there would be no need for them to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.)
  • Chris - In Reply on 2 Peter 1 - 5 years ago
    Hi Linda. The closest Scripture that comes to mind is found in Matthew 22:23-32.

    A question was asked by the Sadducees (a Jewish religious sect who don't believe in the resurrection) to Jesus: 'if a woman had seven husbands because each one of her husbands died before she did, who would be her husband at the time of the resurrection when the bodies of the deceased rise to be in Heaven?' They asked this question of Jesus trying to trap Him about the impossibility of a resurrection because a woman in this example, would have had seven husbands to deal with in Heaven, maybe all claiming the woman to be his wife & this would be a problem & an impossibility. Jesus answered them about their error in understanding. That in the resurrected state in Heaven, there is no such thing as relationships, whether to enter marriage or to maintain a previous marriage from Earth. Rather, He said, that our relationship will be what the angels of God presently enjoy: being in Heaven to love, worship & serve the Almighty One, rejoicing with one another in sweet fellowship. Will we know each other? I would think that we would, but our focus & desire would only be to our Merciful Father & His Son of Love, all other desires faded away.

    And concerning the resurrection, which the Sadducees rejected, Jesus reminded them that God had spoken to them from the Word: "I AM the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Exodus 3:6. That since God was not a God of a deceased Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, that is why God spoke of them as being alive: maybe not in a resurrected state at that point but certainly alive in spirit & would continue to be so in the bodily resurrection.

    Hi Pasquel,

    It will be difficult to comfort her out of the scripture if he died lost.

    I would say pray for her often, and be as close a friend that she would allow you to be, So she can see the love of Christ in you.

    I hope that helps you and her.

    God bless.

  • RReed - In Reply on Psalms 91:7 - 5 years ago
    Psalms 91 is a remarkable message of coverage in the spiritual. It leads One to Divine wisdom THRU this LOVE letter from CREATOR GOD! WE mothers/fathers (any care-taker role) will be saved in child-bearing. We can hide under GOD'S Wings (Hedges) of PROTECTION AND WILL always be free in GOD'S service. He's the ultimate coverage of His Wings/Unexplainable Love!!!

    THANK YOU, EVERY BROTHER AND SISTER FOR YOUR WISDOM.

    Last week at a Church revival meeting I watched from behind as two visiting ministers who were seated towards the back while youth sang get up afterwards to move towards the front of the building for the preaching service. One minister noticed that the other's suit was caught up in his pants as they started to walk forward and helped *of course his brother by love.

    Hello Catherine,

    Seeing your post a verse comes to mind. Though it is not exactly what you state about to "mourn birth". Ecclesiastes 7:1.

    I know of a couple other things about death being "good". For those who are with the Lord of coarse. If you're interested let me know.

    God Bless.
