    Oseas:

    2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man (YOURSELF; your carnal mind, where SATAN plays) DECEIVE YOU, For that day (LIGHT shined into darkness) will not COME, except there come a FALLING AWAY (from the lies and deceptions of your carnal mind in ALL MEN) and that man of SIN (the DECEIVED mind) be REVEALED, the son of perdition.

    2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who (that man of sin, that man of unbelief) OPPOSESTH (truth and light) and exalts HIMSELF (his carnal mind) above all that is called GOD; of that is worshipped, so that HE sitteth in the TEMPLE OF GOD (the Lord God Almighty and the LAMB are the TEMPLE, not Jerusalem), showing HIMSELF (by the wisdom of himself) that HE ( and all his supposed free will) is GOD.

    God Bless YOU as our Father shines LIGHT into DARKNESS.

    Hi Friends

    As I was reading the words of God, this morning, Luke 13:24-28

    Does this not speak to all who believe that there is no overcoming of sin in this present life

    " they believe they ate & drink in His presence, & believed that " He taught in our streets".

    Yet, the Lord plainly states; Luke 13:27

    This reminds me of Matt 7:21,22

    This reveals the utter deceitfulness of sin, that Satan has no lack of power to deceive 2Thess 2:9,10

    He even has such power to call fire down from heaven. Rev 13:11-16 this is describing false Christianity, listen to what the Scriptures reveal, Rev 13:11 had an image like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon. Teaching that one can be a Christian & know God & continue in sin for life, despite the testimony of Christ, John 8:24, 1John 3:6

    Then we have Hebrews 10:26-29; the whole context of these Scriptures here is " sinning is past tense, over, done away with."

    They pray, but they regard; Psalms 66:18; in light of the above Scriptures, who do you thing is answering their prayers?

    Again, all power in all deceitfulness of unrighteousness, ,,,sin ! 2Timothy 3:5 Rev 18:4

    Luke 11:33-36 the whole body be full of Light, "Christ" having no dark part, no darkness at all" Revealing "Consummation of Sanctification of the Spirit, obedience unto righteousness unto holiness, partaker's of the Divine Nature.

    It also reveals, If one continue in sin for life, then it obvious that there's darkness within & Matt 6:23

    Folks, I speak as one concern, I found that in life motions one can be caught up in doing this or that, the swiftness in which life is pasting by, & the world continually drawing us to it concerns, one doesn't stop & truly consider what Holy Spirit plainly states in the Scriptures or why they have not experience it,

    Churches are teaching contrary to Scriptures, all are singing a lullaby; cause everybody else is doing it, some more some less, status quo, so it must be true? NOT ! 1Thessalonians 4:7

    1Cor 15:34

    in Love & Truth.

    Ge.2:24 "They shall be one flesh"

    One flesh refers to the glory of the Word. It is in this sense we have this verse," All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men"(1 Co.15:39). The rib which as fashioned by or tailor-made by God for Adam is the doctrine of Christ. Jesus explained what he means by it."My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself."( John 7:16-19)

    From the manner Adam responded to declaim," This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh" he knew well the glory of the word made both bone and flesh a perfect fit. "Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace."(He.13:9). As a double for the Son his life henceforth was to do his will, which as we shall soon come to the simple question he had to answer, "Obey the commandment of God or not? Where did the strange doctrine come from? The serpent was merely a decoy. In the world of the flesh he was an entity and the strange doctrine was supplied to him by Satan

    It is thus we need ask ourselves: are we fully living under grace or are we carried about by diverse and strange doctrines?

    Ge.2:23-25 "One'

    "And they shall be one flesh."

    Here we have the answer to the mystery of the earth. It abides forever because it signifies the Son in whom all things hold together 'and by him all things consist.'. So the unseen God is made visible in his Son, and who was before all things.(Col.1:16-17) God separated the waters below in order to make the visible and the unseen in him as one. "by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."(Col.1:20) The abstract in ch.1 consequently laid out for us a principle which Jesus Christ signifies. Ministry of Reconciliation is the key to the Fellowship of God with Man.

    This solves also the mystery of generations since they are pendant upon the day,"In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens." Let us recall the preacher, "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.(Ec.1:4)

    "And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." (v.23)

    In the light of the explanation we need examine the role of Adam as the double for the Son and the Church derived from his death and resurrection sanctifies every member and St Paul records the service of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus(1 Co.16:17)and accordingly the Spirit has included their names as well. (1 Co.12:25-27)

    "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."

    We shall discuss only the first part. Jesus explained who were worthy ("He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me."-Matt.10:37-NKJV) Adam as the head allowed nothing else with regards to his body; The book of the Proverbs refers the 'strange' woman as rottenness to his bones (Pr.12:4) we can understand from the case of King Solomon (1 Ki.11:1-3).

    25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

    You said "'Lord of the hosts" means "the Almighty God", and He is the most powerful being in the universe'"; Yes, but the person you refer to be Him is not the true GOD, the Word, Father of the Lord JESUS Christ, and the name of Him you cited -"YAHWEH" - is wrong; In fact, it is the name of the father of the Jews- John 8:44-45-, Paul Apostle spoke about him: 2Thes.2:3-4:

    3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

    4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God(Jerusalem), shewing himself that he is God. Actually, YAHWEH is one of the several names of the father of the Jews, the Devil. I can listed them all.

    The Word made flesh-JESUS-, said: I and my Father are One. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY- Revelation 1:8. In fact, my Lord JESUS is the LORD of the lords. And He said: All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth- Matthew 28:18.

    The "I Am" is Yeshua - JESUS - not YAHWEH, this is one of the names(or nicknames)of Devil.

    Charity mentioned here is not talking about a deed but a motive behind the deed. New versions bibles do not use the word charity but will render the word as love. The word charity is used in multiple verses in your KJV bible, and scripture with scripture study you will see it is the underlying motive for our actions of love.

    1Corinthians 16:4 "Let all your things be done with charity"

    FrankieJ,

    Thank you for both posts that you have addressed to me. I just want you to know that when I said that you might change your mind later, I did not mean that you would change your mind about scripture, or your beliefs. What I meant was that you may later change your mind about me being an inspiration to you!

    I was just adding a little humor to my reply to you. Sometimes humor is a good thing!

    I also would like to say, and hopefully others might agree, that you are an inspiration to many who come here. God bless!!!

    1 Cor 6:7-9,

    "Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind...,"

    The unrighteous people, no matter believers or not, will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

    1 Cor 5:11,

    "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. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person."

    A brother from within the church doing all that? Well brethren not all of us will go to heaven at the end. If we want to be called brothers, since we are brothers, we have to be holy to be accepted by God.

    1 Cor 5:6, "...Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?"

    A little sin will bring inside a bigger one, and it keeps going on and on.

    - It is "small".

    - Well it isn't
  • Giannis - 2 years ago
    1 Cor 5:3-5,

    "For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."

    Paul here is talking about that man who was living with his father's wife (or girlfriend).

    What does it mean "To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." It means that the church had to throw that man out of the fellowship. Once he is out, then the satan takes in charge and the man will suffer illness or any other bad thing in his flesh, since now he is not under God's protection. IF that brings repentance to him, then he will be saved although his flesh had suffered a lot.

    1 Cor 4:19-20,

    "But I(Paul) will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, NOT THE SPEECH of them which are puffed up, BUT THE POWER. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power."
  • Giannis - 2 years ago
    1 Cor 4:9-13,

    "For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

    Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day."

    NOT the gospel of prosperity But the gospel of suffering. I heard once someone using the term "the gospel of the towel". I liked it.

    1 Cor 4:4, "For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord."

    Paul means that he finds nothing wrong in himself, but the Lord knows if and what.

    1 Cor 3:12-13,

    "12 Now if any man build upon this foundation(Jesus Christ) gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is."

    What materials do we use for building our spiritual house(selves)? The day of the trial will show. Shall it fall or shall it stay?

    1 Cor 2:4-5,

    "4 And my(Paul's) speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, BUT IN DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND OF POWER: 5 That your faith should NOT stand in the wisdom of men, BUT in the power of God."

    How many preachers can say that? I hear people saying that we don't need miracles any more, those were for those early times, just preaching is enough. I don't think Paul would agree with that.

    1 Thessalonians 1:5,

    "For our gospel came not unto you in word ONLY, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake."

    1 Cor 1:26-28,

    "26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

    27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world

    to confound the things which are mighty;

    28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to

    nought things that are:"

    One will not see many powerful and famous people among christians. But one will see many Lazarus' among us. The famous and rich usualy follow another way.

    1 Cor 1:10,

    "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."

    Philippians 1:27-28,

    "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I (Paul) come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;"

    Paul says to the people of the church of Corinth:

    1 Cor 1:7,

    "So that ye(Corinthians) come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:"

    Paul tells to Corinthians that they do have all the gifts. What are these gifts?

    They are described later on in 1 Cor 12:7-11,

    "4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit

    ....................................................................................................................................................

    8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

    9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

    10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

    11But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will."

    Does the church, which we are menbers of, have those gifts? Lets examine it.
  • Bennymkje - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Compare Dan.7 especially vv.10-14 with Re.5. I have to conserve my energy whatever left of it for needful things and it is not to give you understanding, Holy Spirit is the best tutor, and I can only explain my understanding on the basis of the Bible Study. You seem to approach literally while I have another approach to the Bible. Sorry if I am not inclined to draw in another round. it shall be wasting my effort. Ask God to enlighten your understanding as He did with mine. So leave it that brother.
