Thanks John I think that, ( in a sense ) is what I said. God Bless!

God will never leave us without remedy. He will always give us faithful people ( Eph 4: 11, 12) to show us the way.

Even with the failing of our leadership in the USA, we still have Godly men/women amongst us. May we as people of God call on Him and confess/repent our sins the the Lord may bless the land and heal us of our infirmities. 2 Chronicles 7: 14, 15

God bless and comfort all, especially the lost and the families of the fallen soldiers in Afghanistan. May our leadership humble themselves before God and receive Christ as their Savior. Lord help us to lean on you as we go through the Pandemic, economic failing, social and political unrest. Help us to walk in your righteousness, and holiness. August 26, 2021. Thank you Lord for attending to our prayer.

Hi Bonnie, Yes to your question. Here are some (for there are many) scriptures to look at; Matt. 10:30, John 8:58-59,( the" I am" in John 8 is the same "I am" used in Ex. 3:14 when God spoke to Moses), 1Tim.3:16, John 1:1-14, to mention a few, hope this helped. God Bless.

What does it mean to take up your cross

Jesse!

Thank you! That was the best answer to my question. I am so happy! I believe my sister excepted Jesus into heart heart at an early age. So that means she is with Jesus now. Thank you so much! Now if someone asks me if we go to heaven when we die, I can tell them this. God bless you!

This is a beautiful scripture and great to meditate on as well

Jesus is Gods son , that's the record of God . Are you your father ? No difference. Yes you came from him but that's it .

Why Trinity By the way its an honest question why so judgemental?

Amen Dave.

Thanks! I will note that.

Definitely helpful.

God bless.

Why Trinity Why did Jesus Christ say I can do nothing without my Father.

the holy goast has been showing the things in my drerams

he took me above the earth and i saw the world burning and all the souls vthat had the marh of the beast were burned up and he said that he is coming back to get his childern this was in another dream

Part 3 The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is God Almighty

And, Finally, WHO Is God, The JUDGE Of All?

13) God Almighty Is The JUDGE Of All!

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the

same, that thou shalt escape The Judgment Of God? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself Wrath against The Day Of Wrath and Revelation Of The Righteous JUDGMENT Of God! ( Romans 2 : 3, 5)

...God The JUDGE of all!...God Will JUDGE! ( Hebrews 12 : 23, 13 : 4)

...Strong Is The LORD God Who JUDGES!... ( Revelation 18 : 8)

JESUS CHRIST Is God, Because All The Verses In The Holy BIBLE,That Talk About GOD Being The JUDGE, Must Refer To JESUS CHRIST,SinceHEAloneJUDGES! The Father JUDGES no man! ( John 5 : 22)

The Father Has Committed All JUDGMENT To His SON, The LORD JESUS CHRIST!! ( John 5 : 22) Why?

"That All men should honour The SON, even asthey honour The Father. He that honoureth not The SON honoureth not The Father Who Hath Sent HIM!" ( John 5 : 23)

Precious friend, Bonnie, please be enriched, enlightened, and edified In The Triune GodHead!!!

Part 2 The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is God Almighty

9) JESUS CHRIST was WORSHIPPED!

( Matthew 2 : 11, 14 : 33, 28 : 9; Luke 24 : 52)

Not once did JESUS Say, "See thou do it not,"

as "an angel NOT to be worshipped,"spoke

in Revelation 19 : 10, And, 22 : 8-9!

Since ONLY The LORD God is to be worshipped!

( Exodus 34 : 14; Psalms 29 : 2, 45 : 11, 86 : 9, et al;

Matthew 4 : 10; Luke 4 : 8; Revelation 22 : 9):

Holy SCRIPTURE Clearly Teaches us JESUS CHRIST Is God!

10) Every knee shall bow, and "every tongue"

shall confess to GOD! ( Romans 14 : 11; Isaiah 45 : 21-23).

The GOD "every tongue is confessing to,"

Is The LORD JESUS CHRIST! ( Philippians 2 : 11)

11) JESUS CHRIST Is Called The SAVIOUR!

( Luke 2 : 11; Acts 5 : 30-31, 13 : 23; Titus 1 : 4, 2 : 13)

( 2 Peter 1 : 1, 11, 2 : 20, 3 : 18, 1 John 4 : 14)

ONLY Jehovah God ALONE Is The SAVIOUR!

( Isaiah 43 : 3, 11, 45 : 15, 21; Hosea 13 : 4; Luke 1 : 47)

( 1 Timothy 1 : 1, 2 : 3, 4 : 10; Titus 1 : 3, 2 : 10, 3 : 4; Jude 1 : 25)

Therefore, JESUS CHRIST Is God!

12) JESUS CHRIST Forgave sins! ( Matthew 9 : 2; Mark 2 : 5)

ONLY GOD Can Forgive sins! ( Mark 2 : 7)

Pure And Holy SCRIPTURE Teaches us ( Titus 2 : 13):

JESUS CHRIST Is The Great God, The

Only Saviour Who Can Forgive sin!!

If we Deny HIS Deity, how can HE FORGIVEus our sins?

After all, It isOnlyGod's OWNBLOOD( Acts 20 : 28 KJB!),

That Has Power To "CLEANSE us From ALL sin!" Amen?

to be continued...

Bonnie Another point I wanted to make was that whats known as The Trinity or Holy Trinity is God , Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit being the exact same entity. That started at the creed of nicea during Emperor Constantines Rulership and was adopted as doctrine. I personally don't see that scripturally but again people get excited about this.

Precious friend, Bonnie, yes The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is God Almighty, With God His Father, And, With The Holy Spirit. They Are "THREE Who Are ONE!" ( 1 John 5:7)

More Scriptural Confirmation:

Is The Holy Spirit God?: According To The Pure And Holy Scriptures!:

(A) The Holy Spirit Is The God That "Ananias And Sapphira lied to!"

( Acts 5 : 3-4 KJB!).

(B) The Holy Spirit IS The God That Raised JESUS CHRIST From The Dead!,

( Romans 8 : 9-11 cp 1 Corinthians 6 : 14; 2 Corinthians 4 : 14; 1 Peter 3 : 18)

(C) The Holy Spirit IS The Omnipresent God That Dwells IN All "believers,"

Being The "Blessed Teacher!," For: Understanding!

( Romans 8 : 9-11 cp 1 Corinthians 3 : 16, 6 : 19, 2 : 13!)

Is JESUS CHRIST The Almighty God?What Saith The

PureAnd Holy Written WORD Of God, The SCRIPTURES?

The First 13 { of 150+ } SCRIPTURAL "Reasons" {Evidence!}

JESUS CHRIST Is Almighty God:

1) God Was Manifest In The Flesh! ( 1 Timothy 3 : 16)

JESUS CHRIST Was Manifest In The Flesh! ( John 1 : 14)

2) JESUS CHRIST Is EMMANUEL

"interpreted = God With us!" ( Matthew 1 : 21-23)

3) The SON, JESUS CHRIST Is Called

God, By HIS Own Father! ( Hebrews 1 : 8)

4) JESUS CHRIST Is Called

The Great God And Saviour! ( Titus 2 : 13)

5) JESUS CHRIST Is Called

The Mighty God! ( Isaiah 9 : 6 cp Jeremiah 32 : 18)

6) JESUS CHRIST Is Called

The True God And Eternal Life! ( 1 John 5 : 20)

7) JESUS CHRIST Is Over All, God,

Blessed For Ever. Amen! ( Romans 9 : 5)

8) ALLthe angels of God Worship HIM!

( Hebrews 1 : 6), therefore, It IsImpossible

for JESUS CHRISTto be = "Michael the archANGEL!"

Therefore, All The Evidence In The Pure And Holy WORD Of God

Plainly And Clearly Teaches Allhumble students That:

JESUS CHRIST Is God Almighty! Amen?

to be continued...

Bonnie Are you asking if there the exact same being, I don't see that scripturally but that one is a hot debate, the reason I don't see it Jesus christ right now is sitting at the right hand of Gods throne, the scripture say God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, but like I said there's two sides to that.

Bdavis Ruggedly handsome to look at

God has only one head as creation reveals this , man made in Gods image has only one head and one personality.

God plainly said IAM God and no other beside me .

The truth will set you free .

Part 3:

Here is what I believe with all my heart. I've received Jesus Christ into my life. At the point of my salvation, He gave me His Spirit. His Spirit came into my spirit and sealed me. I now belong to Christ. He purchased me with His blood. He owns me. My dear sister in Christ, He owns you also.

Now, If His Spirit is in us, wherever He goes, we go. He has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. ( Hebrews 13:5). When I die physically, my physical body will lay in the grave and give the appearance of "sleep." But the Spirit of Christ in me which has sealed my spirit will leave my body and go to be in the Lord's presence. The Lord is not going to allow His Spirit to remain in the grave. And where His Spirit goes, we go.

If I may say this one more time, we as believers are not going to be judged for our sin because Jesus already payed our debt. We will stand before the Lord at what is called the Bema Seat of Christ where we will be judged, not for sin, but as believers, we will be judged on how we responded to God's Spirit in our lives every time His Spirit spoke to our hearts and persuaded us to do the things of the Lord. That is what we will be judged on. Everything that was not of Christ is going to burn, and whatever is left over, the things we did in response to the persuasion of God's Spirit in our lives persuading us to do His will, that will be our reward.

I know this was a little long, but I think this is important. This is a salvation issue. I hope this brings you some comfort. May the Lord continue to work in your heart, may He continue to transform and renew your mind daily through His word, and I pray that He brings comfort to your heart to the loss of your dear sister. It is okay to grieve. Jesus knows what we go through and He says it is okay to grieve. But He says do not be overcome with grief. Please know that you don't have to ask Christ for strength. He is your strength!

Solomon looked Mediterranean RUDDY like David

" Song of Solomon 1:5-6 King James Version

5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me.

1 Kings 11

King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh's daughter--Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites.

2

They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, "You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods." Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love.

3

He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray.

4

As Solomon grew older, his foreign wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

5

He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech: the detestable god of the Ammonites.

6

So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not follow the LORD completely, as David his father had done.

7

On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable god of Moab, and for Molech the detestable god of the Ammonites.

8

He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods.

9

The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.

10

Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD's command.

Mishael: Later, God did tear the kingdom from Solomon.

However, only what is recorded in scripture is what we recognize to be trustworthy and true: God's Word=Jesus Christ.

We have to harmonize what is recorded in the Books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles; to get the whole picture of w

Part 2:

So now, what happened to the other section where the Old Testament believers were before Christ came? When Jesus dismissed His Spirit on the cross, He went down and proclaimed the victory. You can read that in Matthew 25:50-53. So now, when a believer dies, they go to be with the Lord.

Another thing to look at is the thief who was crucified next to Jesus. He said to Jesus "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom." That's all the thief said. There was no sinner's prayer. He did this based on the Lord's mercy. "Lord, remember me. That is all I ask when you come into your kingdom." And the Lord response was "Today, you will be with me in paradise." Wow, today. Not you will go to the grave and have to wait to be with me. Jesus said today!

It is true that we will all have to stand before God and give an account of our lives. Every single person will do that. But for the believer who dies in Christ, we do not wait to be judged before we go to be with the Lord. A believer will not be judged for sin because Christ paid the penalty for our sin. The non-believers are the ones who will be judged for their sin.

Also, there will be two more future resurrections. When Jesus returns for His church, His bride, all those who have died in Christ from the time of His ascension into heaven until the time He comes, they will be resurrected from the grave, not their spirit because their spirit went to be with the Lord, but their body will be raised from the grave, and it will be a glorified, incorruptible body, and their spirit will rejoin that body and be forever with the Lord. Again, the non-believing dead will not be resurrected at this time. They will be resurrected after the thousand years, they will be judged for their sin, and they will be eternally separated from Christ.

I am going to need one more post.......

Trisha,

This may be a little long but I think what I have to share with you is important and might bring some comfort to your heart. I am going to break this up into hopefully two parts so please bear with me.

Part 1:

My apology for not responding sooner. I am retired military and I still work for the military as a civilian. My day at work today has been a little crazy so I have not had a chance to respond. First off, I am so sorry to hear about you losing your dear sister. I know that has to be tough. The only comfort that can be found is in knowing that if she received Christ into her life, she is now with Him. I'll try my best here to explain why I believe we go to be with the Lord immediately after death.

When a person dies, their physical body is buried in the grave, but their spirit goes to be with the Lord. This was not the case before Jesus came. Their body was still buried, their spirit still departed the body, but they didn't go immediately to be with Jesus. Before Jesus came, when people died, their physical bodies were buried in the grave, but their spirit departed the body and went to a place that was divided into two sections, one for the Old Testament saints, and one for the lost. You can read about this in Luke 16:19-31.

Today this place still exists, but only now, there are no believers there, only the unsaved. There are no longer two sections there, but one. And that one section is only non-believers who have died without God in their lives. They will remain there until after the one-thousand year reign of Christ, and then they will be released during that resurrection, judged at what is called the Great White Throne Judgement, and then cast into the lake of fire. No believer will be at that judgment.

I will continue with a Part 2....

Trinity is not in the Bible. The Bible says Godhead.

The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

Matthew 1:23

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."

Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

To REFUSE this knowledge, is to reject the Son of God, and his provision.

PS. I have these scriptures noted on the inside cover of my Bible.

"The abomination of desolation sitting in the holy place". Could I ask for interpretation on this?

Lord, only through You can we recover from our sins and iniquities. Forgive us because of our lack in our devotion to You. Help us to turn from our wicked ways and repent in that you will be glorified and praised. Father, you see the evil we are up against even within our own government leaders; the death of 12 of our men/women in Afghanistan because of the lack of wisdom in the situation and the foolishness in relying on the Taliban/Isis instead of You. The pandemic which is racing through our nation, and the failing economy due to the lack of leadership and or the telling of the truth.

We have forsaken your righteousness and have sinned greatly before you. Lord turn your anger away from us and hear our prayers and shine your countenance upon us, your saints, and forgive us Lord for we have no one else to turn too. Bless us now Lord that all may know that we worship you and that we are your children.

Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for hearing our cry. August 26, 2021

Lord,

Twelve of our men/women in Afghanistan just gave their lives in their duties to their country. Families are mourning the lost of their loved ones. Father, only You can right this situation. Lord, I stand in the gap; as well as many other saints; for the comfort the families need at this time.

Lord, give our leadership, especially President Joe Biden, the courage to rise up to the occasion and call on you for the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Give him wisdom and the courage to do right. Let his advisors have godly wisdom.

I pray Father for your great hand upon us all to confess our sins and repent that you may be merciful to us.

Thank you Lord for answering our cries. August 26, 2021

Hi Larry , I see satan every day when I look in the mirror .

Hi George , yes , some people do believe in it , I think they are mostly Catholics and I think it is a Catholic doctrine . There are plenty of people who don't believe in it and who just believe what it says in the Bible . In the UK it tends to be Protestants who don't believe it and Catholics who do . That may be different in other countries .

Hi Zachoria,

I was very glad to read your post and pray for you.

Keep reading God's word. There are many verses for you to remember of how important you are to God.

One I like a lot is: "See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands." Isaiah 49:16a (NLT)

Imagine that Jesus loves you so very much he has written YOUR NAME on the palm of HIS HAND.

God Bless you.
