The Antichrist.

Revelation 13:2-3 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

1 Corinthians 12:29

26And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

27Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

28And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily PROPHETS, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 12:29

12:27 Now ye - Corinthians. Are the body and members of Christ - part of them, I mean, not the whole body.

12:28 First apostles - Who plant the gospel in the heathen nations. Secondly prophets - Who either foretel things to come, or speak by extra - ordinary inspiration, for the edification of the church. Thirdly teachers - Who precede even those that work miracles. Under prophets and teachers are comprised evangelists and pastors, # Eph 4:11|. Helps, governments - It does not appear that these mean distinct offices: rather, any persons might be called helps, from a peculiar dexterity in helping the distressed; and governments, from a peculiar talent for governing or presiding in assemblies.

12:31 Ye covet earnestly the best gifts - And they are worth your pursuit, though but few of you can attain them. But there is a far more excellent gift than all these; and one which all may, yea, must attain or perish.

Mishael: it is God who chooses the ministry gifts. Verse 28. We recognize them by their "fruits": what they do or say. Prophesy from God, is always true. Fleshly prophesy never produces truth. Worship the Gift Giver (GOD).

I just finished Ephesians, reading about the armor of God. The sword is the word of God. Here is where I get a little upset. I have read the Bible a few times, I am in my 60's with not a great memory. Some things stay with me but I forget so much. What if God needs me to fight but I can't remember verses. Now if you mention something in the Bible I can tell you all about it. I have prayed so hard on this. Any thoughts?

Please pray for my Grandma and Grandpa. Please pray for their health. Please pray they are ok. Just pray for a good day tomorrow. Thank you and God bless.

I agree with Adam that 1John 5:7 is truth and indisputable, in my view the Holy Ghost speaks to our conscience, that guilty feeling we get when we've done wrong, and as Christians he guides and convicts us to return back to the narrow road to the cross. In John 16 you'll notice that when Jesus talks of the Holy Ghost (Spirit of truth) he calls him, "he", and not it, because he is a separate being as in trinity (triune). In John 16:13 Jesus says that he will not speak of himself. The best description I've heard on the trinity was on one of Billy Graham's sermons, he described as in water, you have liquid, ice, and vapor, all three are different and separate forms but all are the same as in H2O. John chapters 14, 15, and 16 are good reads on the Comforter, (Holy Ghost)

I hope this helps

Ephesians Chapter 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

John 16:13 "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." 14 "He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you."

May the Lord bless you & strengthen your mind & spirit in this very important matter, Alec. So many Christians lead defeated lives, not just in the matter of sin consuming them, but being insecure in their salvation, fearing that their prayer hasn't been heard or God refuses to forgive them.

It's all of God's Grace: He initiated His Plan for you, He put it in place for you through Jesus His Only Begotten Son, Jesus laid down His Life for you - can it possibly be that He would now refuse you access into His Love & Forgiveness? NEVER. Or else God has failed in His Love & Promises. And yes, we are 'brutal', for we wield the Sword of the Lord (His Word), with joy & confidence in His Truth - His Truth has set us free & the same Truth will set you free of any doubts & concerns you have now or in the future. Hold on tightly to Him - our sailing on the waters of life is never promised to be smooth & trouble-free, but our Captain will always be at the helm to ensure our safety. And He certainly can be trusted. See you on the other side my friend.

Hi Sheryl, I second what Mild Bill said, and to add to that, If a person is living in sin he or she might want to examine themselves, they shouldn't be in bondage to sin. Romans 6:1-6. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Romans 8:10-15. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Thanks

wow, you guys are brutal, lol but correct I have been feeling like Jesus didn't hear me so I have been wearing myself out trying to please the Lord. I guess i had to see it in writing to understand and I really do understand now.

Thank you

Alec

Matthew 21:1-11 is one of several passages. You may like to compare it to Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming Messiah: Zechariah 9:9 and Psalm 118:25,26.

Thanks Chris, I guess the best way to hit the matter head on is with the word, I heard J Vernon Mcgee say the word of God is like a lion in a cage, He don't need a guard just let the lion out and he will take care of himself. It's disturbing to see people attack some vital areas of the Bible, where there is important lessons to learn, for instance, Whats more important? What was Adams sin or the covering made or skin God made Adam and Eve? There's a lot to learn from the word naked and how it's used, I thank you guys on this site for all that you do. Thanks again, God bless.

When I was a teenager and a member of a local church my pastor said this. If you cannot decide if something is right or wrong ask yourself the question, If all people were to do what you are thinking of doing would the world be better off or worse off? If all people were homosexual that would be the end of the human race.

Please please pray for Amie and her son Benjamin! Amie's ex is extremely violent and took her son Benjamin! Her ex is now threatening to kill people. She and all of us are extremely terrified!

This passage is speaking about the priests, who did service in the Tabernacle. They were, by their position, set apart (sanctified) to attend to holy things (within the Tabernacle, to touch the utensils, offer sacrifices, etc.). If they should defile themselves with the dead (i.e. touch a dead body, assist at a funeral or even partake in a funeral feast, they would be considered polluted). Not that a dead body can materially pollute another, but that the position of the priest compelled him to remain segregated from anything that defiled, including the consumption of strong drink. Reading the rest of that chapter & then into chapter 22, will reveal some more qualifications & things to do & not do, for the priest of God.

However, for those of his kin who died, he was allowed to attend to them, whether arranging their funeral, coming near to them or demonstrating sorrow for his loss. But this concession applied to the priests only - the High Priest was not included & had to separate himself from all people who died.

Certain prophesy states that the beast that was wounded and is now healed will rule the earth for 42 months. Any ideas who or what is that beast?

How many prophets are mentioned in revelations or the end times? Did God make any promises to a prophet about the end times?

I fully agree with you, dear brother. This is indeed a great Site & I notice that much licence is given to present our views, however sincere or insincere they may be. Yet, the Spirit in us, as was given to the apostles & those apprehended by Christ, demands that all heresy & violence against God's Word must be confronted, challenged & systematically refuted. If we don't, then we're no better than the believer who refuses (whether from apathy or ignorance) to stand up against the tide of sin & social ills that plague our societies, indeed within the very walls of our Fellowships.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. May we be inspired to seek out & root out anything that demeans or disfigures God's Word, or violates the Beauty & Glory of God, for we don't know who the readers are: I always think that some poor, searching, hungry soul is in a desperate condition that the Lord' Spirit has brought here to this Site - do they then get fed from the Word & go on in their journey satisfied & in victory, or left in greater confusion & despair? We might have a lot to answer for by what & how we share over here. The Lord bless you in your studies & wisdom shared here.

Romans 1:18-26. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

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; HERE'S WHERE THEY IGNORED GODS GLORY IN HIS CREATION AND WORSHIPED IDOLS, AND "GOD" GAVE THEM OVER TO HOMO SEXUALITY.

(((so that they are without excuse:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things))).

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: WE SIN BECAUSE WE INHERITED ADAMS FLESHLY NATURE.

Romans 5:19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

"When fornication ends all the sins above will end"(?). I'm sorry, I've tried desperately to understand where you're coming from with this belief & though you've not stated it, I think that your belief stems from a skewed understanding of God's Word that has been introduced to you. You're coming from a standpoint that fornication is the root of all sin, therefore seeing it in every Scripture that relates to any sin. I really encourage you to do a fresh reading of God's Word & see how far off the track you've gone by forcing sexual sin to be the common denominator to every other sin.

Even with the Romans passage you've quoted, fornication has been 'forced' into its meaning. Why was "the Wrath of God revealed from Heaven?" Because in their darkened hearts, they chose to worship the creation rather than their Creator: idolatry was their sin, not fornication. And because of their idolatry, God gave them up to the other sins of: various lusts, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, envy, murder, etc. Sins do not start from fornication - Adam did not fornicate: he had a natural beautiful relationship with his newly created wife until the great deception came upon them. Fornication cannot take place within marriage - if there is unfaithfulness, then it's called adultery.

You have every right to present your views but as you can see, you will get very little or no support to them, at least from those who have some knowledge of the Bible. Do you really believe that such views as you hold could ever convince us that fornication is the root of all sin? One would have to throw out the intent of a whole lot of Scripture to entertain your views. And you've chosen not to further debate my presentation of the earlier Scriptures you've given: rather you should have eagerly challenged me over them & defended your understanding if you're truly serious about conveying your sincere beliefs. I hope that with the time we've spent on this, that you may read the Word differently.

john knew it was time for jesus ministry to begin and his to come to a end he prepared the way .

Bible verse about Palm Sunday

Sherl,

"however you can fall from grace."

In the conditions you describe,"the fall from grace", is a situation of broken fellowship with God, not a total loss of salvation. Gross sin, or presumptuous sins may plague a believer, and thereby strain their relationship to God, and the way to correct that status is as you said, repent and ask forgiveness. For example, your children, can either be pleasant and agreeable or ornery and difficult, in either case, they never stop being your children. Christians of all depths/ages/maturity, work out their own experience of being saved, some do better than others. The father of the prodigal son, had two sons. The one who remained with his father also had issues that the father had to deal with. God does not throw out the baby with the bath water, and keeping them clean, is given his full attention. Hebrews 10:30&31"For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
